brainstorm a list (single-spaced and bulleted is fine; see template below) of three or fourquestions about any of the Trickster tales we read. The more varied the better: consider not onlythe tales’ plots and characters, but their histories, authorship, circulation, publication, and how they resemble or differ from other versions of the tale. Ask questions that seem significant and arguable (rather than trivial, fact-based, or speculative [e.g. how the story could be different or would continue]).
Then, select one of these questions to work with, as the research question for your (imaginary) essay:
• brainstorm a second list (single-spaced and bulleted is fine) of five or six keywords tha encapsulate your text and your research question: titles, authors, key concepts, key motifs, etc.Usually, your keywords are in the question: you likely don’t need extra synonyms or concepts.
search for peer-reviewed scholarly articles that would help you to (hypothetically) write an essay in response to your question. Revise and retry your search until you have found two relevant,peer-reviewed sources. Make a Works Cited page listing these two sources; you don’t have toread them.
• narrate your search process in one or two paragraphs (first person “I” is fine). That is, discusswith specific detail which databases or collections you searched, the keywords you used; how younarrowed, widened, or adjusted your search to find acceptable sources; and why you chose the sources you did. This section may be mostly about things that did not work – finding the rightwords to search and the right topic to focus on can be a long process.
