Deadline #9 HW#3

Well it seems like the foundation is laid down to start writing a few rough drafts of parts of my paper now. Writing project #2 my seem as a bit tedious of a step to throw in, but I feel it greatly benefited my writing process. I'm usually the type of person to do the paper/research in a weekend, but gathering most of my sources ahead of time will allow me to come up with a better outline for my actual research paper. I came in to the library probably 3 times since WP #1 was due to gather my sources. Most of the books were here but I have yet to check them out as I wasn't quite sure about which paragraphs to paraphrase. I think I'm most proud of writing a bibliography for the first time since high school. Even then, I'm fairly sure I never wrote an annotated bibliography. I think I'm most concerned about my annotations for my sources as I wasn't quite sure how to explain in detail about a book I haven't got to read yet (two of my sources were not checked in). The one thing I did learn/used during this writing project was the APA guidelines. I've gotten so confused over the years about MLA and APA and it was nice to have plenty of helpful sources such as the book and handout to make sure my sources were properly written. The next writing project is the big salami and I'm glad I gathered my sources ahead of time. The main thing I need to do for WP#3 is to keep going to the library and checking out/highlighting/paraphrasing material I will need as evidence for my paper.
