Your In-class Assignment for Today (04 November)

Ahmed and Jack,

Today in class, you have an assignment that will help you improve your library-based research skills.

The first thing you will do is take today's class time to find two printed resources that will help you with your research topics. Get them from EKU's library before the end of class. The two sources must be printed, but they can be in the same book. That means if Jack finds a book called "A Collection of Awesome Essays about American Movies" and it has two interesting articles in it, he can use it for both sources. Same goes for you too, Ahmed; if one book has two good sources, it counts as both of them.

After you have your two sources, make a post on the class blog (Composition Research Source) with the title of each source.

The second thing you'll need to do is go to this website and browse around. The website is called the Online Writing Lab and is published by Purdue University. It is a very, very helpful source for learning how to document your essay. For now, just read it. We are going to be learning MLA style in class.

See you soon!

Ben
