HW for Senior Project – DUE MONDAY:
Using the annotation strategies from the reading, students should find one article (3-5 pages in length) related to one of their topics that has an arguable thesis. Then they will annotate the article– paying close attention to how the author argues the issue. Students should also come up with a list of 10 questions that aided their understanding of the author’s argument. (To find an article students can use the online research database at DC Public Library)
