Here we are on Thursday the 11th

> Preview/trailer revised for grading is due today.

>
Diigo bookmarks.

> Annotated bibliographies. Due 3/2, with at least 10 entries, including two from Project Muse/JSTOR.
  • An annotated bibliography is an alphabetical list of resources for your project. Use it as an intermediate stage between your research and writing your essay. Entries in the annotated bibliography are crucial resources for your thinking. The annotations can develop directly into text for your essay.
  • The first part of the annotated bibliography is correct and complete citation information for the resource. MLA 2009 citation guide here.
  • The second part is the annotation itself. The annotation consists of three parts, each of which is at least a sentence in length, but is probably - most likely! - longer:
  1. a summary of the resource (what is it about? what are the parts? etc.);
  2. an evaluation of the resource (what are its limitations? why is it important? what is the audience? etc.);
  3. a statement of use indicating how the resource is useful for your project (how is it useful for your specific project? what aspect/parts are you using?).

>
Research topic: narratology, or telling the story.


>
For Tuesday, read Chaps. 1-3 of Here Comes Everybody + 2 Diigo links + a blog post with an annotated bibliography of at least three selected links/resources. We'll look at annotated bibliography entries and we'll talk about developing arguments and assertions about your project.
