The Research Process Begins...
Please Note: Prior to reading our next literary selection (Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird) AFTER A Streetcar Named Desire, you will engage in the process of RESEARCH. I have already included resources on this blog, but do not worry, we will literally take "baby steps" in the process of writing a research paper. However, you will begin researching your assigned topic beginning the week of 31 January! Also, although you may think that you will be working collaboratively with others on this project by reading what appears below-that is not the case! It is ONLY at the very end that you and others assigned to the GROUP will present your research. Once you open-up a link- you will discover that with-in each GROUP-there are specific research questions (all unrelated-to some degree) for each group member. This will become clearer as soon as we meet together during the week of 31 January.

NOTE: You will be randomly assigned to each "sub-set" of questions designated for each group. It is ONLY after you have completed YOUR research that you will assemble together to present in-front of the classroom.
