Day 20 (Oct 10) - Pre-research

Today we will...

1. Talk about what we need to do before we actually start writing our research papers
2. See what we need to include in a pre-research portfolio

Pre-writing Preparations

Think about the following questions and discuss them with someone next to you:
1. Do we go directly into the writing procedure when we have a topic?
2. If not, what are we supposed to do before writing the paper?

Take a look at this powerpoint, and see what we have to do for now.

Pre-research

Let us watch a video on how to find relative information on the topic that you want to write on.

Now get into your topic group, and use the CQ Researcher to search for some information on the best topic that you have voted for. You need to find the information and put them in the right categories in this document.

Homework

1. Do the assigned exercises on Writer's Help.
2. Gather the necessary background information and complete the Pre-research Organizer.

Remember!!!

We do not have class next Monday...in this classroom. It will be in Room 291 at the Undergraduate Library
