Today you have the class period to conduct additional research and compose additional portions of your final essay and annotated bibliography. Tasks to undertake include these:
- Using the HPU Libraries databases to locate an additional source and reading that article or a portion of that book.
- Composing annotations for one or more of your sources.
- Reviewing the sources you have gathered and noting what similarities and differences you can identify among them. Those similarities and differences may serve as additional material for your essay or your commentaries.
- Revising portions of your final essay and/or your annotated bibliography.
You will devote your time in the first half of class today to completing one or more of the tasks listed above. In the second half of class, you will compose a one- or two-paragraph summary of the work you completed, a minimum of seventy-five words. If you finish your summary before the end of the class period, resume work on your essay and bibliography in progress.
