English
For this weeks English assignment please find and review one peer reviewed or scholarly article for your research project.  To ensure they are scholarly please use the following resources.  Once again please write a one paragraph summary and then one paragraph about your thoughts on the information and how you may use it in your paper.

Turn in next Monday morning (2/9) when you arrive in class.  Remember, late assignments will not be accepted after the first 10 minutes.

You have access to a college library here on the Mesa college campus.  You must go to the library tell them you are from the Met, fill out a form, and gt a barcode for your Met ID.  The Mesa library has numerous books, and academic journals for you to find.
To search for peer reviewed journals and other quality sources check out Mesa's article and reference database.  You do need a Mesa ID to log in.

Google Scholar
Google scholar allows you to search for academic literature. Many are available for free as a PDF, while others may require you to visit a library.

If google scholar does not have a PDF available try using Worldcat.  This is a search which allows you to find where any source is available.

 Next week I will ask you to turn in a rough draft of your paper.  You should have at least 5 pages completed for your rough draft.  If you are not close to that yet, I suggest you begin working on it this week.  I want to see where you are at with your paper and start making corrections early.
