You will work on creating an ANNOTATED RESOURCE SET for Macbeth, The Tempest, and Frankenstein. An Annotated Resource Set is the first step in researching. It's a way to compile the sites you wish to further explore when putting together a research report.
QUESTION #1: How do I create an Annotated Resource Set?
ANSWER: A template is available for your use on the PAPERS page of the class website
QUESTION #2: How many sources do I need?
ANSWER:SIX TOTAL for the Shakespeare works and 6 for Frankenstein
QUESTION #3: Where do I find the sources?
ANSWER: You need 3 QUALITY websites for each author and 3 scholarly articles (found on Proquest or CQ Researcher)
QUESTION #4: What do I look for?
ANSWER: For the purpose of this assignment, information that helps the reader fully understand the context in which the author wrote. Think searching terms such as: Elizabethan England, Romanticism in literature, Gothic literature, and British authors to name a few.
QUESTION #5: THEN WHAT?
ANSWER: When you find a credible source, fill in the blanks on the template...title of the source, your paraphrase of the content to explain why it is valuable for your research, a visual (cut and paste from the site) and the URL.
What you do not finish in class is due BLOCK DAY THIS WEEK.
REMEMBER - ONLY PAGE 2 of the ARS must be completed and turned in on Block Day!
