After glimpsing your research designs today, my advice is to watch for the following:

1. Your annotated bibs need to be COMPLETE and the annotations need to be a paragraph – MORE than a sentence.
2. MLA format for bib entries needs to be accurate and consistent.  Entries need NO numbers and should be listed alphabetically.
3. The Sketch/Outline section should be MORE than just a list of genres – elaborate.
4. You don’t have to use my format, but HEADINGS for the sections will help me be sure you have completed them appropriately.
5. When in doubt, BE THOROUGH.
