Deep Reading Survey
Please take the survey linked above to give us feedback on this assignment!

Starter 8: Work Habits + Annotated Bibliography Examples
Work Habits
  1. How well did your work habits/behaviors serve you for the Deep Reading assignment? What concrete things do you want to change for this next stage of your research?
Read over 1-2 entries of at least 2 of the examples: Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Example 4
  1. What do you notice about their annotated bibliographies?  Explain what stands out to you and why.
  2. How do you think these might be useful when you go to outline and write your senior thesis?  Explain.

Lori's Rationale about the next assignment!
This is actually a really key piece- it requires you to engage and interact with your sources at a deeper level, and it's something that former seniors have found hugely helpful once they enter into the writing process.  If you do this well, you should have some pieces of analysis and evidence that you can pop right into your thesis when you are drafting.  This is also a task that is key to academic research, and is likely something you are going to have to do at some point in college- I've talked to a number of alumni who have had to do this in college.  As far as the number of sources, the more research you do, the more you know.  Remember-- the goal of a writing assignment is the RESEARCH, not the actual writing. The downfall of  much non-fiction writing is not having done enough research.

Annotated Bibliography
  1. Read CAREFULLY over the instructions for this assignment.  
  2. If you are confused, you have a few strategies:
    1. Check out the example that's linked on the Senior Project page of my DP
    2. Talk to a classmate (or a few classmates)
    3. Talk to Lori
  3. Start on this assignment.  
  4. Daily Goal for Today:  Find (and print!) at least two additional sources.  Remember, these must be reputable, but do NOT have to be from academic journals.  If you find these quickly, start reading and annotating them!  For those of you doing original research, this is where you should start using interviews as sources!
  5. Make sure you have everything you need printed for the library tomorrow!

Intertextuality Review Slides
Look at these for a quick review on this part of the Deep Reading assignment.

Starter 7: Review the following Intertextuality Example and answer the following questions:
  1. What stands out to you in the example that you want to integrate into your intertextual paragraphs?
  2. What are two points/arguments from your research you feel would work well together intertextually? Why?

​SPAM 1 Email

  2. If, by some miraculous turn of events, your SPA wants to meet TODAY, you will need to print the SPAM 1 Form from the Senior Project page of my DP to have them fill out during your meeting.

  1. Deep Reading Assignment (full packet). DUE: Tuesday 1/24, Start of Class.
 
DUE DATES- LATE (-10%)
  1. None.

Review of Bibliography + Reading Notes
Bibliography
  1. Review bibliography formatting (handouts are on the front table!)
  2. Remind of strategies with library website, Semantic Scholar (for elicit).  Will need to indent once you copy them into a document.
Reading Notes
Goal = show me you understand the claims the article is making, and the evidence they are using to support those claims.
  1. Could format this yourself if you prefer, OR you can use the Reading Notes Form linked here and on Google Classroom. 

One more thing…start thinking NOW about how you want to organize your research notes!
I suggest creating a document (or having a notebook, if you’re old school like that).  In these notes, I would include the following things:

Source Title/Author/url (if applicable)
  1. Main ideas
  2. Key quotes (copy and past with page numbers)
  3. Ideas about how it relates to other sources
  4. Questions/problems this raises

Deep Reading Days 4 & 5- Read and Annotate MORE!

1/19/2023

 
SNOW DAYS!  When you come back to class on Thursday, you should be done with:
