Creative Research Practice Assignment
Read either “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” or “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calavares County.” Decide where research could be included in the story in a beneficial way. Do some research. Include research into the story of your choice in at least 6 places using a minimum of 2 academically acceptable (peer reviewed) sources. This will be practice in finding “academically acceptable” sources. Use the Auraria Library. Type your search terms into the Start My Research Box. After your results appear, click on Scholarly Material Including Peer Reviewed to ensure that the material you find is in fact Peer Reviewed - Academically Acceptable. You may also use any combination of endnotes, footnotes, and parenthetical references. For help with using Word to insert endnotes and footnotes, see the tutorial below.
Then answer these questions at the end of the story you choose:
1. Why should the 6 things you chose be annotated? How does the annotation affect the story/poem/creative non-fiction?
2. What kind of sources did you use for each thing? Where did you go to look for sources for these annotations? What kind of sources did you use? Explain why certain sources were better/worse for certain annotations?
3. Did you use endnotes, footnotes, or parenthetical references? Why? What affect did either have on the piece?
