SPAN 3110: Advanced Conversation & Composition I

Introduction

This guide is intended to help you with the final project for this class, from choosing a topic to finding resources for your essay.  

When searching for sources, it's a good idea to start with ArticlesPlus, ALICE, and the Oxford Bibliography for Latin American Studies (if it's appropriate to your topic). Then go on to other pages in this Guide for additional sources. 

For additional resources—not strictly literary—see the Latin American Studies research guide.
