Research Paper 4 Marked Sources Due by midnight on SUN. 11/23/21

*This assignment will count as journal 9 & 10

Obtain three online literary journal articles for your research paper project (based on the two short stories you have chosen from the syllabus reading list—see 6 stories highlighted in yellow) from the Houston Community College Library online databases and save them as PDF files or Word documents. You then need to ‘mark’ the quotes you used in your research paper directly on the PDF files (or Word documents). Highlight the full text articles or use the PDF tool ‘sticky notes’ to indicate the quotes you used in your paper. You will mark the journal articles and save them with a proper filename. There are ‘sample’ marked sources posted in the document sharing list in mywritinglab so you can view how these marked sources need to be created.

In addition, your 4th source will be an online dictionary definition of ‘outsider’, ‘outcast’, or ‘misfit’. Mark the specific definition you plan to use in your research paper. A sample marked dictionary definition is posted in the document sharing list in mywritinglab.

Students will post ONE journal article in the dropbox and then ‘email’ all four marked souces to my Canvas email as mywritinglab only has the option to post a single attachment.

Please note: Students can gain access to the library databases by logging on with their student id#. Students need to obtain the sources (literary analysis journal articles) and save them on a file saving device (flash drive), and they also need to email the sources to their personal email account. They can then open the articles and paste them into a Word document. Be sure to cut and paste the ‘full' bibliographical information for the source so you will be able to use this information later to create your Works Cited page for the research paper rough draft and final draft. Students may also just save the PDF file if the article is available in PDF format. Students can then use the Adobe tools to mark the articles using the highlight feature or use the ‘sticky note’ feature to mark the quotes on the full text articles.

HCC provides a service called "Ask a Librarian"—you can access this feature on the HCC Library homepage. You can contact a librarian via text messaging, phone, chat feature, or email. If you are having difficulty using the databases, please contact a librarian for assistance. 

Please save your file names as follows:

Your last name Your first name marked rsch paper source 1 16799

Your last name Your first name marked rsch paper source 2 16799

Your last name Your first name marked rsch paper source 3 16799

Your last name Your first name marked rsch paper source 4 16799

Example for a student named Ann Porter:

Porter Ann marked rsch paper source 1 16799

Porter Ann marked rsch paper source 2 16799

Porter Ann marked rsch paper source 3 16799

Porter Ann marked rsch paper source 4 16799

*Save your Word document as "Word for Windows 97-2003" format. Of course, you do not have to worry about this if you save your documents as PDF files.

Please note: you are only marking the four secondary sources (1 definition source and 3 scholarly literary analysis journal articles). You are not marking the quotes in the two primary sources (the two chosen readings from the approved six stories for the research paper). Sample definition sources are posted in the document sharing list in mywritinglab, as well as a ‘marked’ definition source.
