Agenda (and assignments), Dec. 3



Students,

1.                       A. For tomorrow’s class please arrive with three “good sources” relating to the Pentagon Papers – sources that you could or will use for your research paper, should you so choose. Two must be from "Scholarly Journals." The third must be from a newspaper or magazine. Write a citation using MLA style.

For each source, please provide a map of the steps you went through to find the source, including (for example) lahc.edu - academics - library – library databases – All Ebsco databases – Academic Search Premier (Those were all links). Then put in search terms and settings such as Pentagon Papers, civil disobedience, treason, supreme court (possible terms) setting like full text, scholarly journal, dates, publication types etc.

You will arrive with this info and in class we will share your results by turning over the computer to you and projecting your search efforts on to the screen.
