Class #22: Rounding Third: PLEASE BRING YOUR FAMILY'S BOTTOM LINE STATEMENT

Housekeeping: Return papers, Assignment Q & A, IDEA Reminder

Activity: Preparation for Research Proposal: Please help each member of your family with the following:

1. A debatable research question
2. Appropriate sources (at least three...with citations, so I know you are on the right path)

Some of you may need only highlight this on your Literature Review...some may need to actually go out and find these parameters. But the entire family is responsible for getting each member approved with these concepts. Basically, I am FORCING you to work together and attempting to DRAG you through proper preparation for this paper. It will be quick and easy for some, difficult for others, but I do not want anyone confused on this process.

If time...Bottom Line presentation and Cross Examination!
