I definitely agree with Steph and Mary regarding the note cards. I definitely would not have done it that way myself. I would probably just highlight the main points I wanted to use from the sources, or type the main points from the sources onto a word document. That way, I would have them already typed out and ready to use in the essay. The outline was helpful and I have done outlines many times in the past. I probably would not have done it on my own for this essay, since I feel like this essay is a little bit more straightforward. My essay for another class, on the other hand, that is also due on Tuesday, is longer and much more ambiguous. An outline certainly would have been helpful. Of course, I didn't do it and just jumped right into writing the paper. As a result, its moving rather slow.
I have noticed that Buhle mentioned communists rather frequently, and I am curious to find out what role they played in politics (in the U.S.) in that era. I am not really sure what my question is though, I haven't really had time to give it much thought.
If you have time before Monday at 10, look in some tertiary sources on the depression - encyclopedia of depression, etc., - and look up the communists. YOu need to know more about who they were, what they did before you can formulate a question.
