Homework Reminder

Apologies for gdtting this up today instead of last night. Good thing nothing important was due last night! :D

So here's the lineup for the weekend:

Due TONIGHT, emailed to me(bonmgarcia@gmail.com) and the STUDO (studio.utpa@gmail.com) by midnight: Your completed research essay, don't forget to edit your essay for correct in-text citations and don't forget to include your WORKS CITED page. :)

Yesterday we began to complete the last bit of our essay: the convo piece and the conclusion. There are many ways to tackle these ending pieces, and you cna ustilize any of the ways we discussed in class I defintely want to see you talk about how your research findings and your initial question and ideas meet, what that means about reading, writing or learning, and finally who might all this matter to? who needs to know, who might benefit from knowing what you found out in your research, who wouldn't?


We also discussed the ramifications for turning in late work: I will dock 2 whole points off your final grade for each day your research paper is late. I'd much rather get a messy paper in tonight that a "perfect" one two days from tonight. Remember, we will return to many of these to revise in a week from now. That does not mean that I want you to chuck your reseach and simply avoid completing this essay. And incomplete P2 means the inability to complete P3 from the get go.

Due Sunday, posted to Class Blog: 450-500 word Reflective essay on Research Essay.
We just came out of quite a bog process, and we did not spend quite as much time as I would have liked to talk about what we were each going through, what we each encountered and what it meant for each of us to enter into such an extensive process. Now is our time! I want you to reflect not only what you did with your research eassay, but also on where you believe you were initially (it all statred with that proposal and meeting with me, remember? :D?) and what you think you know of your interest and writing a research paper now. Then I want you to go a step beyond and discuss with me what you believe you'll do with this information this coming Fall semsester or Summer. Yes we're thinking about the future but I the reason i want you to talk about such a localized immidiate future is becuase I want you to get specific here and avoid generalizatiosn like: "Researching is important becuase it helps you succeed in life" or "REsearch isn't important in the career path I've choosen."

See you guys on Monday! And no missing! I wont be backtracking! We have a lot to do this week! It can be tons of fun, but if you absent it wont feel quite as entertaining!
