Estimados Estudiantes,

Did You Know?

Many students who undertake their research projects at this level often feel intimidated and/or frustrated.  They are not sure how to get started. They may lack knowledge and experience for using the campus databases.  They may feel overwhelmed by the amount of information on the internet. 

BUT NOT YOU!

In Jay's Research Party, you will learn to…

• Use invention strategies to research your topic.
• Identify the characteristics of  strong research questions to narrow your focus.
• Apply your working knowledge to understand  academic articles. 

Let your own purposes guide you – YOU WRITE ACCORDING TO YOUR INTERESTS!  Like This:

We will get this party started with Group Activities in Zoom Breakout Sessions. Be prepared to discuss important historical elements regarding the BEATLES, MARILYN MONROE, and mi pueblo, MEXICALI, BAJA CALIFORNIA. 

Jay's Tip:  Have your Proquest Reserach Articles Ready!

I will help you formulate your own research questions that will lead you to success on this project. 

• Did Lee Oswald really orchestrate the JFK assassination? If this is true, how did Oswald fire 3 shots in 5 seconds?
• How did Selena learn Spanish? Who was instrumental in helping her develop her bilingual skills?
• How did LSD change the music of the Beatles? 
• Where did the phrase "Sí, se puede" come from.  How did it become a rallying cry for Cesar Chavez's United Farmworkers?
• What were the Hippies rebelling against.  What's it mean to be a non-conformist?  If they created a counter culture, who were they "counter" to?

This is going to be great.  You will see.

Paz,

JL
