Week 4 Blog Post

Goals

This week, I planned to finalize my notecards and my works cited and begin working on the general outline of my research paper. I was able to finalize most of my notecards, but I still want to look into my printed book, From Naturalism to Nature more for more information. As for my works cited, I still have a couple of small errors to fix but the big problems have been fixed. As for my outline, I have been working on it all weekend and I think that I have settled on some good ideas. My goals for this week are to work on my outline and finish everything else that I need to. Monday, I will work out all the problems in my works cited and then work on my outline. On Tuesday, I will begin collecting the quotes I will use. And on Thursday and Friday, I will continue to compile quotes until I finish

Activities

During this week, I worked on my works cited and my notecards in and out of class. I was able to fulfill the requirements for the notecards and I fixed the biggest problem in my bibliography, one of the Facts on File articles. This week was a successful and efficient week. 

Problems

I did not have any large problems this week but I did have a couple small ones. First, two of my sources did not have individual page numbers even though they said which pages of the books the articles were taken from. I have decided that I am going to talk to Sarah tomorrow and figure that out so I can properly use my notecards. Another problem this week was that my works cited was not shared with Sarah so I almost lost a lot of points. Thankfully, Harrison showed me how to share the works cited. Lastly and the most problematic: the Hawks lost. :(

Reflection

This week was a solid amount of progress and growth for my paper. With my work on my sources and my notecards completed, I can now completely focus on the structure and ideas of my research paper. 

MVP of the Week

Harrison Mickle for showing me how to share my works cited with Sarah.
