For Thursday, March 4

Come up with a research question on your topic, and e-mail this question, along with your responses to the following questions, by Thursday:

1) Is the question researchable? How?

2) What type of information will I need to gather to answer this question?

3) Is the scope of this question reasonable?

Include the following two questions in your e-mail, and I will answer them:

4) Is my question too broad, too narrow, or ok?

5) Given the answers to questions 1, 2, and 3, what do I need to do to develop this question further?

For help with coming up with a research question, read Lunsford (the Handbook, not Everything's an Argument) page 151-152) on writing research questions.
Read Carr's Is Google Making us Stupid?

Select two articles that relate to your Core 2 topic and bookmark them to Diigo. In the paragraph description (when you bookmark an article Diigo gives you a place to put a description), tell us why these sources effectively support the writer's claim. Share these articles with the class research group by selecting Edit and then Share to a Group.
