***Please note: these are not the primary source (Beowulf) or your literary theory source! ***

Try using EBSCO, then click on “Choose Databases,” then “Select all.” Caveman searches work best (“Beowulf and Sigemund” or “Beowulf and Unferth,” etc.)

 

 

 

 

2, Research Checkpoint 2

  • Answer question (using primary source) for working thesis. This can change as you start reading secondary sources and drafting your essay, but you should have an idea of what you want to argue before you begin to write. This will be a one sentence arguable claim, and it will be original to you. That is, you did not use any other sources other than the primary source to develop your preliminary thesis.

 

  • Also identify the literary theory (or theories) you will use to help you prove your claim or address opposing points of view.

 

 

 

 

3, Research Checkpoint 3

Thinking about your own topic, write a three-sentence précis over one of your secondary sources (not the primary source). You can blend this précis into your term paper when you start drafting. Usually, you will blend the précis the first time you mention the secondary source.

4, Research Checkpoint 4

Working Outline: Identify several subtopics that you will need to consider as you prove your argument.

.      Example:

  1. Intro/Thesis (write out thesis)
  2. Secondary Source #1

III. Accommodate, qualify, rebut, etc. using primary source evidence V

  1. Secondary Source #2
  2. Accommodate, qualify, rebut, etc. using primary source evidence
  3. Conclusion

 

Please note: you will need to be a bit more specific for the subtopics–identify some of the evidence you will include and author name for secondary source, etc.
