Students will be able to
review the process they should follow to find and evaluate academic sources.
I. What have you learned since I had to leave? (20 min)
Show me what you have done the last seven classes.
Get in groups of three, brainstorm ideas about the topic you've been assigned, check Eunice's class website, your notes, Dropbox, etc. to remind you of all these topics. Be prepared to present a brief summary of your findings:
Group 1 : Pre-research Portfolio
Group 2: Pre-research Process (topic, organization)
Group 3: Paper's introduction and thesis statement
Group 4: Outlining
Group 5: Finding sources
II. Where are we?

Strategies to find academic sources:
1) look only at titles/abstracts/subject terms
