Library Assignment #3
Using the college’s library or a scholarly on-line source, please select one of the following topics to research. These topics are all something that we covered in class or are mentioned in the assigned class readings.
After locating a useful book/article--and remember that “.edu” and “.gov” sites are the most reputable places to research--your assignment is to write a 300-word review (double spaced Times New Roman 12 font) about the research you found.
In the first paragraph, explain the topic you selected. Just write four of five sentences introducing the topic and sharing what you know about the topic from our lectures or the assigned readings. That would be paragraph number one.
In paragraph two, please share something new that you learned about the topic from your research. That would also be four or five sentences in which you work to connect what we studied with something that you discovered. I have posted a full/complete example of what I think a good library assignment document looks like on Blackboard. Please feel free to copy the style and structure closely.
PLEASE DO NOT USE WIKIPEDIA AS YOUR SOURCE! IT WILL RESULT IN AUTOMATIC POINT DEDUCTIONS.
Also remember: you will assemble/collect your library assignments over the course of the next two months. You DO NOT hand them in weekly although I am happy to look them over for you when we go to the library. My suggestion is that save them on a disc or print them out and place them in a folder. The assignments are due, all together, during the last week of class as noted in the class syllabus.
TOPICS:
- Samuel Gompers
- Carry Nation
- Margaret Sanger
