During today's session Joshua worked on on preparing source cards based on his internet research. We together reviewed MLA format for his sources and later discussed areas to note on his "note cards" after the sources are culled: background/history, controversies surrounding the topic, and last for a conclusion , a possible solution. I suggested that one of the sources offer a view contrary to his thesis as absent a controversy, there can be no valid thesis statement. Joshua will begin to read sources this week while making note cards that contain evidence, quotes, and paraphrases.
