Research Assignments

Each student will be responsible for reading/summarizing at least one article. I'd suggest you first do this in Word, GoogleDocs, or whatever word-processing program you typically use - then transfer it to our Course Talk Page.

1. Introducing the author, summarize the main point/argument of the article in a sentence or two ("In this article, Johnny Appleseed argues that...").
2. If there is a particularly illuminating quote that touches upon one of the group's topics, include the quote and give the page. You might also paraphrase any additional parts that touch upon one of the major topics.
3. Let us know why this particular article is a helpful source for clarifying or better understanding the play. Are there any parts that you disagree with or think are wrong?
4. Log into Wikipedia. On our course talk page, you'll put this summary and also create an MLA-style footnote using the "ref" tags at the bottom of the composing window (see the "").
5. Sign your contribution. Preview and save here on the course's Talk page.
