REMINDER/ANNOUNCEMENT You do not have to have every source for the Deep Reading assignment come from the Durango Public Library Academic Database. They just need to be ACADEMIC sources.

Research Goal:
HOMEWORK Finish reading, annotating/notetaking on your first source. Hey Seniors- I have completely lost my voice, and have a fever, so I will not be with you today. Please head to Ashley's at the start of 3rd period for the starter and review of reading scholarly articles. Someone please grab the copies of this and the deep reading assignment from the front table to take with you! I will see you all tomorrow.
ANNOUNCEMENTS Want to do honors this semester? Let me know by the end of the day today! You can do this in person or via email. Starter 2: Research Quote Read the quote linked above.

Review of Deadlines, etc. For my own peace of mind, lets review deadlines, etc. How to Read a Scholarly Article Pull up ONE of the articles you found on the library database yesterday.
Deep Reading Assignment

We'll review the results as a class, and then in pairs you'll discuss the following things:
Check in- With your table group, check in about the current state of your research question, project, etc. What feedback did you get from your POL? What work have you done since then?

Info Dump: Review Deadlines, Honors, Expectations, etc.
Using the Library Database Follow along with Lori into the magical world of the Durango Public Library's academic database!
