Course narrative
This class was in preparation for my Capstone project, here I learned how to organize the structure to follow for my Capstone. I learned what kind of capstone we could make if linguistic or literary. I chose to do a literary capstone, I learned that each project has a methodology and it would be through analyzing two novels of our preference, I learned to collect primary and secondary sources relevant to my capstone project. I also learned that a project carries with it a literary review as to what period the chosen novels were based on my capstone. It was hard to keep up and look for sources that would be useful to the project, as well as having to be reliable sources. We got help from the school librarian to find sources on different sites on the Internet that were safe and reliable.
I learned how to schedule us so that we can move our project forward, and use technology to our advantage using google slides and remote library.
One of the main steps for my capstone in class was to complete the annotated bibliography for our project. Here is an example of this, based on the MLA format.
