Assignment for Wednesday, Dec. 13, and Thursday, Dec. 14

Write at least one page for the exploratory essay. Share it with me as a Google doc (mrmontasmph@gmail.com) by the start of class.

Assignments for Wednesday, Dec. 6, Thursday, Dec. 7, and Friday, Dec. 8

For Wednesday, continue working on the research prospectus. Strive to have at least half of it written. You might find it helpful to look for additional sources to help you think about your topic. Your question might still be changing and developing as you write the prospectus, which is fine. I advise that you keep track of the ways your question is changing; don't delete your old research questions.

For Thursday and Friday, write a complete draft of the research prospectus. Don't neglect the bibliography. 

Assignments for Monday, Dec. 4, Tuesday, Dec. 5, and Wednesday, Dec. 6

For Monday (Day 2), write a tentative research question and (based on the handout given in class) identify the kind of question you're asking. In addition, try to write a paragraph for your research prospectus. If you missed class on Wednesday or Thursday (or if you misplaced it), click here for the handout on developing a research question. You do not need to share this assignment with me yet, but be sure to have it available in class. You will spend most of class working on the research prospectus and pursuing additional sources.

Lastly, I know we haven't gotten back to it, but please continue bringing The Woman Warrior to class. I hope to talk about it this class (up to p. 160), so if you're still behind, try to catch up.

For Tuesday (Day 3) and Wednesday (Day 4), continue working on the research prospectus. Strive to have at least half of it written. You might find it helpful to look for additional sources to help you think about your topic. Your question might still be changing and developing as you write the prospectus, which is fine. I advise that you keep track of the ways your question is changing; don't delete your old research questions.
