Calendar Post for October 16 and 19

• Using guidance from the annotation workshop handout displayed in class today (and now at drop.io), provide in-line comments as well as notes about opportunities for revision on one of your group's member's annotation drafts. Be prepared to hand back those drafts to your classmate on Friday.

• Update about formatting: After the citations, within each annotation, mention the source's author as a "second reference," or using last name only. (Our wiki's critical introductions, however, should introduce each author as a "first reference"--using first and last name, affiliation, et cetera.)

• Using the group inquiry process handout distributed in class today (part of the same file at drop.io), continue finding credible, current, and relevant sources for annotations that will provide the best answers to your group's question-at-issue (and your own aspect of that question). As the process handout suggests, your group may benefit from meeting outside of class ahead of Friday and becoming familiar with your group’s wiki. (Find e-mail addresses at the Writing Studio.) Depending on your group’s plans, you might start drafting a critical introduction.

• Using comments received on Friday from the annotation workshop as well as a sample annotation––and by leaning on the group inquiry assignment handout like a trusted friend––finish revisions to your individual annotated bibliography. Then on Monday, October 19, in a manila folder, turn in your process work: (1) the individual annotated bibliography, as an MLA-formatted hard copy, (2) the stakeholder matrix, and (3) the research log.

• Meet in Morgan Library room EIL1 ("Classroom One") on Friday and Monday to continue drafting your group’s introduction.
