ENGL 1033 Inquiry Journal

28 August 2017

Title: Subtitle

This first paragraph is a good place to record your initial thoughts or opinions on your

topic. For MLA papers, use the information above instead of a cover page. I know its boring,

but do not use humongous fonts, boldface, italics, or all capital letters. Capitalize the first and

last words of the title, and all words except articles (a, an, and the) and prepositions (of, for, in,

by, to, among, between, etc.). MLA formatting requires double spacing and a half-inch

indentation for paragraphs, and you should do that for your inquiry journal.

This second paragraph can be a continuation of your thoughts and opinions on the topic

in relation to your first text. Alternatively, it might be a place to describe your research process.

You could describe how you found the first text in the library instruction session, and perhaps

how that search changed your research question. You will still use the half-inch hanging indent

on the bibliographic entries below. This will let you transfer the information directly to your

annotated bibliography in Project 2 or to your Works Cited page if you use them in Project 3.

Then, for Entry 1, you should describe the first source you found (below). Provide the

bibliographic information for the text and a description of the important information from the

source. Later, youll do the same thing for entries 2 to 6. This should give you a good starting

point for the annotated bibliography.

This paragraph should be related to the source. You could analyze important details,

explain the parts of the research that relate to your argument, include questions, or draw

comparisons.

In these last two or three paragraphs, you should address how the process of inquiry has

shaped the claim you were planning to make in your argument. How has the research process

influenced what you think about the issue? Describe any changes you had to make to the

direction of your research. Did you learn anything from the research process? This is a good

place to describe that.

This document will be an ideal artifact to include in your final portfolio. It will show that

you engaged in the writing process. The first paragraphs show the planning stages, the

bibliographic entries show how you researched and responded to texts, and the final paragraphs

will provide a reflection of your research process.
