In-Class, Wednesday, March 19th

Today, we will

- get our mid-term essays back

- finish Jason's survey about SynchronEyes

- find the peer editors of our own surveys: Pick three index cards, and write on them your name, email, and the topic of your survey. Give these cards to three different peers. They will actually TAKE your online survey, and let you know whether everything worked, what improvements of text/layout could be made, whether it is user-friendly, etc. (like peer editors).

Then, we'll do the following tasks:

1)
Pre-write about 10-20 questions that you would like to go in your survey. We'll review them later. Submit them in an email to me. (No layout options; just plain numbered questions.) The questions should reflect what you've read in the two articles in the blue textbook that deal with your topic; they shouldn't be too general.

2)
a)
Find three research essays dealing with your survey topic (one from JSTOR, one from ERIC, and one from Morris Library).

b) Write a Works Cited page for these three research essays in MLA style.


2) Find and type the passages out of these research essays that you want to quote in your own paper (at least one per essay). Email me your quotes (the text, and the citations for your Works Cited page, so I know where your quotes come from!).
