Prompt for friday, april 4. Welcome back to blogging!

As we discussed in class, narrower and more localized topics are usually some of the most effective and easiest to write. In your blog, please also address the five bulleted items on pp. 291-292 of your text:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Tcu computer labs and hours.

Remember that you can find details on all of the sources I showed you today on eCollege. For your blog, just write a paragraph reflecting on your experience researching. You might answer questions like: What was easy? Did you have to change your search to find relevant sources? Or broaden to find enough sources?
