I am here to help you learn to do research for your literacy narrative, using that experience as a way to explore together how research may come up in your writing center consultation work. I understand learning doesn't work the same way for everyone, and that an hour isn't long enough to do more than get started. I want you to feel comfortable reaching out for help during and after the session, and confident about using this guide throughout the semester.
I do my best to foster an inclusive classroom environment to ensure that all of you are respected, safe and supported in your learning.
During our session today, we will cover the following:
1. Developing a search strategy to find sources relevant to your narrative
2. Finding, evaluating and citing those sources
3 Getting help
This guide includes everything from the session so you can refer back for refreshers, have a jumping off point for your research or learn about the topic in a different way than we covered it in class. It also includes some information we won't cover in class, such as how to find books and more suggestions for tools to find sources.
