Prompt: What theory or theories are related to your proposal? How do they relate to your research? OR if absolutely no theories are related to your inquiry: What have we done so far that has been helpful to your writing process? How might you apply this helpful information or tool? What has been confusing, or what would you like to spend more time on? If the clarification/additional focus does not occur during class time, how will you acquire the knowledge?

Something that I have done that has been helpful is create the annotated bibliography for my research essay. It has helped me understand in more detail what information I should use in sources, and where that info should go in my essay. I will apply the information that I have gotten after creating the annotated bibliography to better format my research essay when creating my essay outline.

I currently haven’t found anything confusing for me, though I would like to spend more time reading through my annotated bibliography in order to make sure each source lines up correctly with my essay.
