2. Have 10 or more sources cited. Should be mostly books you have found on Questia or in the library (ours or another local library)
3. Alphabetize your entries
4. Do not number your entries
5. Each entry should have a "hanging indent"
6. No extra spaces between entries
7. no heading needed. Write your name in pencil at the top.

For Thurday's Class

We will meet in the library to work on research projects. Be prepared to boogie as you find sources for your "working bibliography." If you are focused during class time, you should have no trouble building a working bib in class. If you don't finish, you will have to work over break to collect and document those sources.

Homework from Tuesday night:
You should be through Act I, scene iv.
For Thursday night, read Act I, scene v.

Quiz on Friday on all of Act I.
Quiz on Parts of Sentence on Friday.

Thursday's Class

For class on Thursday, please make sure you have your Romeo write ups. You were to look back again at Ii at lines 150-233. Characterize Romeo. What's his problem? What can you infer about him as a character from this opening scene?

Be prepared to give me your research topic in class on Thursday. We'll have class in the library where Ms. Mandel will give you a tour of our research resources and get you signed up and oriented to Questia, our on-line database of scholarly works.
