• You must use at least five sources for your synthesis/analysis paper.

• Limit the use of articles from the popular press.

Open the document below and save a copy to your H drive. We will complete this work sheet in class.

Write down your topic in the form of a statement. For example: Outsourcing jobs to foreign countries hurts the U.S. economy.

Pick out the keywords in your question. Example:

Outsourcing jobs

United States                         

Economy

Think of related words: For example, the word "impact" is probably a better term to search than the word "hurt."

"unemployment" is a term that is related to "economy," but may yield specific information about loss of  jobs.
