Katie F. commented on the post, Research Annotations, on the site Latin America & the US 2020 6 years ago

Both annotations are very insightful and clearly state the topic, argument, sources, big picture, and usefulness. I like the connections you drew between the sport of soccer and race, it’s a very interesting topic.

These are both well-written and provide some slight analysis of the authors’ writing, which is interesting. I’d like to see how you use the first one for your research, since it does not incorporate Latin America […]

These annotations are very well-written, and I especially like the specificity of your descriptions of the sources and evidence the authors use.

Your annotations are very well written and provide some very insightful information on your articles. On top of this both annotations did a good job in peaking my interest in your topic.

Both of your sources sound very helpful towards your research but also extremely interesting, I’m excited to see your project later on.
Kobe Matesic commented on the post, Research Annotations, on the site Latin America & the US 2020 6 years ago

I thought your annotations were very thorough and provided a good synopsis of what the article provides and what you want from it.

Or, I know you were also interested in the Cuban missile crisis: just let me know!
Katie Holt commented on the post, Research Topic, on the site Latin America & the US 2020 6 years ago

As you know, I love a soccer-focused topic! We talked about focusing on a specific team in Latin America in class on Monday. Boca Juniors might be one good option: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Boca_Juniors
Katie Holt commented on the post, Wikipedia, on the site Latin America & the US 2020 6 years ago

Good critique, Tina! For the Wikipedia assignment where you’re improving an article, do you want to write about this one, or will you pick one related to your research on Cuba? Either is fine: just let me know!

For your second source: I looked at […]
