Second Blog Post Assignment

Your syllabus says this 2nd post is due Friday 2/10, but let's move that back to Sunday 2/12 by midnight.

OK, for your second post, please...
  •  Tell us about the most interesting source you've found so far. What type of source is it? What's the title, and who is the author? Why is it interesting? Give us a brief summary of the source, in 5-6 sentences.
  • As you've been researching, has your topic changed? Have you revised your inquiry question?  For instance, say your initial question was "Why do some people choose to be vegetarian?" As you've been researching, you've realized how you can narrow your scope to something like "Is it healthy for vegetarian parents to raise their children as vegetarians?" OR "In what ways is being vegetarian better for the environment?" How will narrowing your scope affect your research -and the eventual writing you'll do about this topic?
  • What challenges are you facing in your research? How might you address these challenges? What research "tips" do you have for your peers?
