I've started to put handouts in this section when I have them in easily printable form.

Here is a sequence of handouts meant to guide students through the process of reading and writing analytically:

• Getting from Topic to Thesis
• Reading For a Thesis (translates Getting from Topic to Thesis into an algorithm)
• Five Ways of Looking at a Thesis

These handouts relate to information literacy and undergraduate research:

• Bibliography assignment for the first-year Tutorial
• Library Research Guide for Secondary Sources
• Quick Guide to Chicago NB Style

And here are some other handouts that I use for teaching analytical reading and writing:

• On Transitions
• Close Reading, Formalism, and New Criticism
• Punctuation Patterns (adapted from a handout by Deborah Simpson--thanks, Mom!)
