The Double-Entry Journal for Essay 2
What to Do:
The “double-entry journal” is a tool for tracking your research and your responses to the ideas you encounter in your research for Essay 2. As you research, write the MLA citations for the sources you’re consulting in the left-hand column and below them jot down quotes, paraphrases, and bits of information (at least 3 for each source). In the right-hand column, type your commentary on these quotes and paraphrases. Be sure to place quotation marks around any exact phrasing borrowed from a source, and do include page numbers as applicable (some sources don’t have page numbers, so you can’t give page numbers).
As Ballenger discusses in The Curious Researcher, “diving deep” into your topic helps you become knowledgeable about your topic. Therefore, include entries for at least 2 books or ebooks, at least 2 internet sources, at least 3 scholarly journal articles, and at least 5 other sources of any kind (internet sources, interviews you conduct, additional news items or scholarly journal articles, etc.). Your double-entry journal should have at least 12 sources. The “sources of any kind” may include the TED Talk you have chosen to write about as well as TED Talks you watched in consideration for the essay.
Value: 25 points. (5 for correctly formatted works cited entries, 5 for quoting and paraphrasing correctly, and 15 for thoughtfulness of the commentary).
