What’s the news this week???
PROSPECTUS! – Get a full draft of this fully typed and bring 3 typed copies for Tuesday morning. Also – book your appointment with your tutor now so that you can have a session before you go home on break.
Please remember these details about annotated bibliographies:
- Refer to this part of the OWL at Purdue for details of how to create your annotations.
- Each of your sources should have a three-paragraph annotation. The first paragraph should be the summary, the second the assessment and the third your reflection (see above referenced web site).
Also – please feel free to use a mind map (look at this video a second time!) as your outline. This can really help you bridge the gap between your thinking and the writing you do later on. Use color, images and let yourself feel the excitement of learning about your topic.
Finally…
DON’T PLAN TO LEAVE TOWN FOR BREAK UNTIL AFTER CLASS ON THURSDAY!

Cynthia’s video pick of the week (100 musicians from around the world show the power of community as the only way to change the world from Bill Moyers Journal on PBS.org) Playing for Change
I read about this guy last year when I was working on a paper about how music can be an agent for change in the world and in communities. It’s pretty great stuff.
