To Do for December 3 Each group member should have 3 new sources added to top of annotated bibliography This is in addition to 5 already done… By Dec 3, each group member should have a total of 8 annotated sources Continue to take and organize notes Updated process paper Brainstorm possible thesis – which is the argument you will make related to the theme “leadership and legacy”

Moving Forward Evaluate where you are and make a plan for moving forward… Figure out what sources you still need and who in your group will do what Keep whatever sources you plan to use, but if something was not useful to your project, ditch it It is likely some may have more than the minimum required sources, but do not have any less Looking for someone to interview…

A Reminder On Sources Primary sources: Secondary sources from the time (and related to the topic) speech, diary entry, opinion poll, letter, cartoon, song, government document, historical newscast, play, poem, radio broadcast, newspaper article, picture, map, etc. Secondary sources can include videos, internet sites (make sure they are appropriate – no about.com, ask.com, yahooanswers, Wikipedia, etc.) articles, etc. If there is no author and no publisher, that is not a good sign…
