You might ask yourself, "What is the most interesting information I found in my research?" The answer is probably a great bit of information to use in your introduction or conclusion.
Homework: Start writing. A Canvas space will be available this afternoon. You will be sharing your introduction in class on Tuesday - please write more than that! Draft as much as you can. Post the introduction. Have the rest ready to discuss. Track your sources. Use in-text citations and begin your Works Cited page.
