My Annotated Bibliography

Here is my annotated bibliography

Quotation Paragraphs Week

This week we will work on our quotations. I am very excited to do this because, the sandwich paragraphs we will have to write for this assignment, after reviewed by Ginger, can easily be used in our final paper. Despite having accurate introduced quotes, it is a great way to increase our writing and be able to write at least 7 pages. I will try to write the most sandwich paragraphs possible for this assignment.

Annotated Bibliography Week.

This week I did my annotated bibliography. That means i had to find five secondary sources that I should use in my final paper. I feel like after doing my annotated bibliography I will basically have half of my paper done. The summary that we have to include for each source can easily be used in my paper, despite that my works cited page will be ready. I found this assignment very helpful.

My Reserach Proposal

Here is my Research Proposal

My first working thesis

I felt like this week was very productive. I chose the immigration topic and started off with a very broad idea which is "The American Dream." Then I did a little research on it by browsing the web and  informal interviews with close people I know migrated here. I came to the conclusion that most of them migrated because of job opportunities. Furthermore, after doing exercise 3.15 on page 93 on the textbook, I was able to narrow my topic even more and create a working thesis: Most Brazilians migrated to the U.S. hoping to find better work opportunities so that they are able to save and invest their money, instead of  settling for enough money to pay the bills.
