RESEARCH LOG: You will catalogue and post a weekly log of your research onto our blog page (http://langartsjedi.blogspot.org). Include with each post a brief explanation of the significance of the research, what perspectiveof the issue is revealed in the research (political, economical) , and how you hope to utilize the research in your argument essay. By the end of week 1, you must develop a working thesis based on your research. At this point, you will conference with me on the plan for your paper.
STAYING IN TOUCH: After you have met with me, you must post your thesis with your pre-posted research. As you continue researching and posting, review the thesis statements and research of at least 2 classmates (No more than 2 students can comment on one person). Respond to your selected peers, evaluating and critiquing the reliability, strength, and usefulness of their research in relation to their thesis. Read the peer evaluations of your own research, making changes/modifications if necessary.
