My Process So Far

      I'm required to document my research and writing process for the Shakespeare research paper I'm doing this month. According to the assignment instructions, here are the components I must include. If I have met those requirements, I have included a link to a post or posts that document my efforts for that component:

      Exploration--Phase 1 and Social Proof--Phase 1

      This post goes through my thought process a little bit when I was choosing a topic for my paper. Then I documented the ways I tried to contact other people about my thoughts.  I don't have much to write down yet because I'm waiting to hear back from all the people I tried contact.

      Textual Analysis--Phase 1
      This post analyzes the Christian elements in The Merchant of Venice. I looked particularly at Shylock because his situation is an example of how non-Christians were treated by Christians in Shakespeare's time.
