  2. The Conversation There are no new topics…so, before you know where to start researching, imagine the conversation about your issue… • Who are the loudest voices? • Who are the most frequent voices? • Whose voices are not heard? • What is the voice of sanity? • What voices are marginalized? • What is not being said?

  3. Invisible Children • Whose voices did we hear? Make a list…then ask: • Who are the most frequent voices? • Whose voices are not heard? • What is the voice of sanity? • What voices are marginalized? • Pay attention to how the conversation evolves…how has the conversation evolved over time?

  4. In-class writing assignment Think about the conversation surrounding your topic…make a list of the voices… • Who are the most frequent voices? • Whose voices are not heard? • What is the voice of sanity? • What voices are marginalized? • Pay attention to how the conversation evolves…how has the conversation evolved over time?

  5. How to Frame a topic • Helps you figure what is inside the frame and what is outside the frame. • Example…try to frame this topic: Cheating on exams in college.

  6. How to Focus the topic • Articles will help you here • OSCAR/Find an Article • Directory of Open Access Journals • Google Scholar

  7. Websites • Always be a little skeptical about them • You can usually find what you want in the About section of the homepage • URLs have predictable extensions: .com for businesses, .org for nonprofits, .edu for schools, .gov for governments. [.net = ??] • Government Information/Statistics

  8. Books • OSCAR • OhioLink

  9. Annotated Bibliography • Rough Draft due next Thursday • Each source should have a paragraph explaining how you found it [be specific] and how it will be used. • 6-8 sources • 1-2 books • 2-4 articles • 2 websites • Interviews: you can list 1-2 interviews that you are expecting to conduct.
