Your final three blog posts should all be on sources you're using in your final paper. These should be academic sources that are not on the syllabus. The blogs should be 250-300 words each. As you write these, you should follow the directions given for your fourth blog post:
1. Summarize your source. What are the main arguments? What is the point of this book or article? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say?
2. Evaluate your source. After summarizing a source, it may be helpful to assess it. Is it a useful source? How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography? Is the information reliable? Is this source biased or objective?
3. Reflect on your source. Finally, once you've summarized and assessed a source, you need to ask how it fits into your research. Was this source helpful to you? How does it help you shape your argument? How can you use this source in your research project? Has it changed how you think about your topic?
Although one of these blogposts is due tonight (4/3), one on Wednesday (4/8) and the final one on Friday (4/11), the crucial thing is that you have all of these done by Sunday night, 4/12.
