Upcoming: Bibliography and Research Phase II

Introducing and Annotating the Bibilography

When one of your classmates turns to your work later this term, your annotated bibliography will play a crucial role in bringing him or her up to speed on your topic. In past, bibliographies have been one of the weaker elements produced by student-scholars for this course. So today I’m going to offer pointers on producing a list of recommended sources that is helpful.

Research Phase II: Primary Sources

A presentation on gathering sources and grouping them together into collections, what I call “Bodies of Evidence.”

HW (ex credit) Look ahead to the HW for next Thursday and collect 5 related fragments of the past that are relevant to one another. Send them to me via email by midnight before the current class so I can use them as starting points for discussion in lecture.

Counts as 1 missing HW, as well as counting as ordinary HW for the upcoming class on Thur/Fri.
