Action Items (to be completed for Tuesday's class
1. Deciding on common terms/foci to note (so that at the end, we have something of a common vocabulary that reaches across the individual reports)
2. Begin identifying primary sources you can interview for additional, local information. Once you know who you want to talk to, please post the positions and names so that if other group members have questions for them (or might) they can get them to you before you talk to the person.
3. If you weren't in class, please post your reading lists and summaries by Saturday night (so I can finish the syllabus for you.)
4. Distill a few questions that you need to know the answers to about what is already known (and where the gaps are) that you can use in your literature review. In other words, identify what you will be able to build upon and what you will have to generate through your own research. (You don't have to post this until we discuss it, but you should have good solid questions that you will be asking, in written form (notes) for our discussion.
