Goals
This being the first true week of research paper work, my goal for this week was to find some good sources in the library that can help me narrow down what I want to write about. I was able to find 2 good books about the author of my books and another book that is based solely around analyzing one of my books. My goal next week is to look into these books more and find even more sources.
Activities
This week, the two activities I accomplished were compiling a list of questions about my books and finding resources in the library. The questions I made about my books helped me think more about the themes I may want to write about in my research paper.
Problems
So far, the only problem I have faced is that I have so many ideas about what I want to write about. White Fang and Call of the Wild are both so interesting and such a fantastic combination that there are endless possibilities that you can write about.
Reflection
This week has really given me a perspective of how much more work I need to do for this project and what kind of work it is going to be. I am incredibly interested by the two books I am researching so I am looking forward to writing this paper more than any other.
Good start, Ellis. Some things to consider: You'll want to be more specific in your discussion of activities as well as in your setting of goals. When will you read that book? Notes how? What book did you find? What themes does it relate to? What chapters seem relevant? Set a plan for the week, not just general goals. This will help you stay focused. 13/15
