On Thursday, March 21, the word of the day was "ruminate."  The librarian came to our class and demonstrated how to do research using the OSLIS Database and Multnomah County Library Database ("Academic Search Premier.")  To access OSLIS from home, you need to go to "oslis.org" and then use the username "port" and password "oslis."  I handed out instructions/guidelines for the Persuasive  / Research Essay. We then went to the library and began researching essay topics.
