the sheet using the topic they are considering for their research project.

students locate critical material on that author and finish with a working bibliography of
materials relevant to their research paper.
Timing:
Sessions for English 101 and English 102 are best scheduled at the point in the semester when the
students are aware of their research assignment for the class. The exact timing will differ from
