Those that attach you to a theoretical discourse
Those that attach you to an areal and/or topical discourse
Your actual sources, which give you the information and evidence you use to make your argument
The first two kinds of resources are almost always written and are usually academic writing. The third kind of resource can include a bunch of things, as exemplified above. This next exercise involves giving you about two weeks to compile these resources, and compile a partially annotated preliminary bibliography of all three kinds.
W May 5: We will have class presentations by the instructors on how to do footnotes and bibliography.
M May 10, and W May 12. There will be no classes on these three days. You should be busy finding and reading sources.
M May 17: Bibliography due. This should include ten sources with one-paragraph annotations, along with a minimum of twenty other sources, un-annotated. Please note that you don't have to have read, skimmed, or even seen these additional sources; you just have to list them as potentially relevant to your work.
W May 19: We will have a class discussion of the bibliography-compiling process--how did you choose your sources, how did you find them, what are you still looking for, etc.
