Exercise 3c (due April 14th):
3c will be a revised and expanded version of 3b. Repeat each of the tasks
described in the assignment for 3b, but expand upon your list of sources and your
rudimentary outline. The new version should reflect the changes you have made in
response to my comments on exercise 3b. For exercise 3c, you should complete the
following tasks:
1. If your research has led you to reconsider your earlier plans, write out an updated
version of the question or problem you have been investigating. (You should feel free to
list more than one question or problem, but you should articulate a larger framework for
these questions.)
2. Write out a list of at least six sources that you plan to draw upon in your essay.
Include all of the usual bibliographic information. After each item on your list, add a
sentence that makes clear how this source will contribute to your investigation.
3. Write out an annotated outline for your essay. This outline, like its predecessor, should
identify the large divisions within your planned essay. This time, however, you should
annotate the outline by spelling out the reasoning that determines the sequence of these
divisions. Use whatever device that suits you to distinguish between the internal divisions
of your outline and the annotations. The more detail that you include in this outline the
more feedback you will receive from me.
