Franken[outlines]
…probably enough of the Franken[portmanteaux], yes?
Just a quick overview of our process from start to finish:
- Read and journal
- Find patterns and group quotations underneath
- Make meaning of these patterns
- Find how these patterns connect with one another
- Compose thesis
- Polish outline, ensuring that each point (from thesis to the most basic) is an argument and all arguments are supported with quotations or paraphrasing
- Begin rough draft
Here’s a diagram of our process showing how each step contributes to the bottom-up creation of your paper:
We’ve set tentative deadlines as follows:
- Outlines should be wrapped by Tuesday/Wednesday of this week
- Final drafts on Monday of next
If you can, please compose your outline and paper in Google Docs, as you can share the live document with me for questions/editing.
