ENTRY 6

I wasn't able to writ ea blog about last weeks classes so I'm going to do so now. Last week we submitted our quotation paragraphs. I was able to choose two from the encyclopedia source that I had used from my annotated bibliography. One of the quotations spoke about the reason to why the Spanish-American War had began and the other quotation that came from the same source provided information on what concluded the war. The last quotation I used came from an article called "El Disastre" which provided a brief explanation of what the Philippines and Puerto Rico benefited from the war.

ENTRY 5

Since the professor extended the date to when our annotated bibliographies are due, I have more time to work on mine. I've just been looking for resources this week so I would be able to write my annotated bibliography that is due on Tuesday. So far I have done three mainly because I have just been picky on which resources I'm going to use. I just don't want to pick any article but ones that I will for sure use for my final paper.

ENTRY 4

On Tuesday we got to go to the library so we could find more sources for our research paper. The resources were many articles from the library database that is accessible to our computers from home. We also got a brief lesson on how to do our annotated bibliography that is due next Thursday. So, this week I'm going to be doing a lot of reading on my topic (Spanish-American War). When I'm finally done reading from five sources, I will then write a summary on them for the assignment that will be due.

ENTRY 3

During class on Tuesday we wrote down different questions that had to do with our research papers. For example, we wrote down questions if our papers were informative, persuasive, analytic and argumentative. So with doing that exercise, it helped us to develop our thesis statement for our research proposals and eventually our research papers. This week I was able to start off my research paper proposal that would be turned in on Tuesday October 8th. So with doing the proposal, I was able to somewhat organize what I am going to write on my paper.
