Research Prompts for 10/25

Research Prompt 1

TBK: More Story Lines

Build on the research about story lines that Mary created for 10/23. Extend the story lines she creates, and add your information to a chart that contains both your work and her work.

The original prompt:

List each of the different story lines that occur up to this point in the text. Briefly summarize the three most important story lines. What has happened in each story line? What do you think will happen in the story line? What specifics lead you to believe this?

Research Prompt 2

TBK: Annotated Bibliography

From the list of articles and books in the bibliography I've created, http://vulgaranalysis.blogspot.com/2012/10/tbk-bibliography.html
choose one of the entries and create an annotated bibliographical entry for the chosen article or book.

Purdue's OWL site provides examples and ideas about how to construct a bibliographical entry:
