You now have the collective annotated bibliography to draw on as well as other research sources.

From among any of these these or any additional articles you didn't annotate, read at least two articles and also choose one film we have not seen in this course related to your research project. These are due December 2.

Do the same again the following week for another two articles and another film. These are due December 4.

These are four more articles other than those you annotated as well as notes on two films you've seen by then. The films may be ones you write on in your reseach paper. Or not.

By November 25, send me a schedule listing the articles (names of authros, titles of articles, journals, dates, etc.) and films (directors, titles, years or release) you'll take notes on for December 2 and for December 4.

(By December 4, you will have notes on four articles and on two films.)

By notes, I meant extensive, detailed comments on the articles and films. 2 pages minimum on the articles and 3 pages minimum on the films.

This is not meant to be busy work, OK? Writing a research paper is a process that has to be done over time and that involves writing (a prospectus, notes) even before you get to a first draft. You'll always have read and written more than you end up turning in or, in effect, publishing, as your final draft.

Note: All parts of the final project must be completed for you to receive credit. All parts of the course must be completed to pass the course.
