Reading: Vinyak Chaturvedi, "Vinyak and Me" (HCC Course Reader)
Writing: Reading Response Blog (to "Vinyak" or to Still Alive); Annotated Bibliographies due.
Thursday May 15
Reading: Ruth Kluger, Still Alive (begin)
Writing: Discovery Task #6
Requirements of Annotated Bibliographies (10% of essay grade):
- title (tentative title of research paper)
- include at least 8 sources with correct MLA citations and annotated bibliographies of 4 sentences: 1. thesis/claim of author + author credentials; 2. evidence used; 3. purpose; 4. audience/use for your paper.
- a headnote (200-250 words) which should be something close to the annotated bibliography of your primary source (blog)--but you might expand the 4 sentences to include more of the evidence (which should be details from the primary source that you want to analyze) OR to include the 6 C's-like things: content, context, citation, communication, connections, conclusions. This is not yet the prospectus (i.e. your paper proposal/plan, but it is an AB of the primary source (like the captions you did for the Weimar Germany essay last quarter). Your headnote should give the reader the necessary historical information about the primary source and also give the reader a framework for thinking about the primary source by pointing out what the significance of the object is, and what things about it are important for the particular angle you will be taking on it.
- 2-3 refined (but still preliminary) research questions.
