In class today...(and post your work here)

Today (Tuesday) we covered the following:


1.  The "weight" of sources.
2.  Tips for reading sources/taking notes.
3.  Tips for writing
4.  Sharing our "Four Groundbreakers" exercise
5.  The upcoming Cross Disciplinary paper.


On Thursday, we will complete a "building block" exercise...for class, be sure to bring:  


  1. Your topic(s) for the CD paper.  Which groundbreakers will you discuss in the paper?  Which disciplines will you connect each to? 
  2. At least one credible source per groundbreaker.  When I say to “bring the source,” I mean that you should bring a thoroughly read/digested piece that you can discuss in writing.  Please either bring the source itself (marked up/etc.) and/or your thorough notes.  (For your paper, you will need to have six sources, but I am only requiring three for Thursday.  If you have more by then, please bring them, too…)
Please email me with any questions at all.  I am a firm believer in completing tasks in steps, and Thursday’s exercise will be an important one in creating an effective paper…

And, as you know from class--please post some of your preliminary work in the comments section here.  By midnight tonight, please respond to the following:

1.  What three gb's will you use for the paper?  
2.  Locate at least one credible source right now.  What is it?  What does it say about the gb?
