Here is the [|DialogueAssignment] that is due on your calendars as homework for Monday the 1st. After you have finished writing your dialogue, I ask you to make a link on your wiki page (the page where you posted your proposals). On the linked page, simply paste in your dialogue. By making all of the dialogues available, you all will have the opportunity to see what sources your fellow students are using and to what ends. Skim through the dialogues of classmates who are working on projects similar to yours and you might find something interesting or helpful.

Here is the [|Sample Student Paper] that you need to read through and annotate for class on Monday, Dec. 1st. Please see the calendar for more information.

I'm also going to link to a new form of outline that I am trying out for a [|project] of my own (when I get ahold of the file - I'm editing this in the WC right now). What I'm trying out is to write a quick introduction with my major framework (ie - why am I doing this project, why should the reader care), then writing out the major claims I want to make, and then cut and pasting my evaluation paragraphs from an annotated bibliography that I've done on the subject. So the major body paragraphs are only one or two lines of text (the point I want to make in that section) and then a piece from my annotated bib. This allows me to think about the essay in terms of major claims and evidence, instead of thinking about it in terms "and here's something else I want to talk about." Instead of seeing each source as a separate section, this outline form allows me to group my sources together under a larger point of my own. As you've all done annotated bibs already, this is possibly something that you'll want to try. If you do try it, be nice to the group and make a link to it on your page so your fellows can see how it works for you.
