Homework due via email on Wednesday, 12/09/2020 by 9 PM:


1. Please, research the SAME research issue IN ENGLISH using 1 more Internet, book, newspaper, or journal articles about a topic you are passionate about writing. Then take one to two pages of notes for the article using the keywords on the pages. Remember to write the author's name(s), the date, and page or paragraph numbers if you use direct quotations. When you email me your notes, can you take pictures of them and put them in the Word document below? And label your name in Class 03 My Research Homework. Please also try to find a source from a new publication.

Global Issues Resources -Specifically for Chuo University Faculty of Law English courses, this website has been designed by Andy Barfield and his research team for supporting student research from 2014 in the Basic Research and Writing (English 'C')  and Introduction to Communication and Research (Listening and Speaking 'P' Level). More generally, his team hopes that this website is useful for students and other people in Japan (and in other countries) to develop our knowledge and critical understanding of different global issues. Thank you, Andy!

Google Scholar: Google scholar helps you do a broad or narrow search of articles. It also helps you cite your "references" for APA and "work cited" for MLA!1. Please, research the SAME research issue using the Internet, book, newspaper, or journal articles about the same issue. Then take two to three pages of notes for each article using the keywords. Each time you make a direct quotation, please note the page number or paragraph of the citation. Try to paraphrase and use keywords rather than sentences so that you can speak with your research pair in our upcoming breakout rooms on Zoom.
