Process Post #5 Prompt
In preparation for your research conference, this Process Post asks you to start thinking of your work with your sources so far. Write a short (200-300 word) reflection on the process of completing the Annotated Bibliography and Secondary Source Integration. This document will guide our discussion in your research conference. You might want to consider the following questions, although you don't need to respond to all of them:
? Am I comfortable with performing analysis on the primary and secondary evidence, instead of merely describing or summarizing it? How has my analysis of my primary source deepened or expanded since the beginning of the quarter?
? How are my secondary sources helping me to contribute to a larger conversation about my topic? Where have my secondary sources complicated, changed, or added to my claims?
? Has my research throughout the quarter led me to new arguments that I otherwise would not have considered?
? Am I comfortable with the organization, style, and clarity of my writing? What was difficult about these assignments, what seemed to come more easily, and what might I continue to work on?
? How do I plan to expand this paper into my final Analytical Research Paper?
? How might I present my work so far to a public audience?
