Section A Instructions
1. The full draft of Section A (Maximum 150 words) is due Wednesday at 8:20 a.2. Refer to the handout in class today (or use website) to familiarize yourself with the instructions.
3. Complete the FOUR Steps to a great Section A.
4. Step 4 is the toughest one because it asks you to evaluate your research methods. Think about this today and overnight and use your time in class Tuesday to ask me for some guidance. (You'll probably need it.) Everybody's research project is different so there is no set "formula" for a successful execution of this step.
5. See below for the crucial I.B. command terms to use so you have strong adverbs to describe HOW you are using your sources.
Do NOT Double Space any of your sections for the time being.
