This project has 5 Steps:
1) Choose an Debatable Topic and Pose an Effective Research Question
2) Conduct Research on the Web and in Library Databases
3) Evaluate and Summarize your sources in an MLA Annotated Bibliography (3-4 pages)
4) Outline your findings
5) Write a Research-Supported MLA Argument Essay (5-7 pages)
In this module we will be completing Steps 1 through 3. In particular, we will focus on Information Literacy, or a set of skills to which includes learning how to research effectively, knowing how to use multiple means to find information (books, magazines, libraries, online databases), and recognizing traits of credibility in a source (the author cites sources, the author makes it clear that sources are relevant, the author’s bias is controlled).
The primary assignment for this module will be to create an MLA Annotated Bibliography. This assignment will require you to locate and evaluate three credible sources for your research project. We will start that assignment next week. For the moment, go to the Week 5 folder to help you begin choosing an effective topic.
