Goal
You have hit the pinnacle of this class: the research paper! This is designed to test your argument, synthesis, and critical thinking skills by highlighting how well you can present your findings in an argumentative, persuasive research project.
Overview:
For this assignment, you will write a research project of at least 1500 words on a topic of your choice.
(The topic I chose is “Picture Perfect Pressure: The Influence of Instagram on Teenage Body Image”)
Approaches:
Fictional: Look at a fictional movie, TV episode, music video, or piece of media and do a close analysis of the “monster/villain”
Historical: Look at a real-life dictator, serial killer, scientist, social network, etc. and do an analysis of the coverage of the person.
Scientific: Look at modern science e.g. cloning, Crispr, genetic modification etc. and decide whether that type of science is creating modern heroes or monsters.
Current events: Do a deep dive on a current event like border control, politics, make-up, sports, and analyize whether your topic is helping society or harming it?
The Steps:
1. Pick an issue related to the broad theme of “monsters” that interest you e.g something from the class. (Completed)
2. Narrow down the topic to something you can cover in 1500+ words e.g. “Is it ethical to conduct cloning research for profit?” or “What modern fear does the monster in Squid Game represent?” (Completed)
3. Read articles and books, and watch some media clips that interest you on that topic. Make sure to get sources you agree and disagree with (Completed)
4. Put your sources on your ?? Critical Thinking Challenge #4: Source Log . You must use 8 of the Source Log sources in the Research Paper (Completed)
5. After doing a little research, develop your topic on your issue and develop a hypothesis. Basically, take a stand on how your topic impacts the local community. Hint: This will turn into your thesis. (complete now)
6. This project will culminate in your research paper, presentation, or web page. (Complete now)
Task:
Project Requirements:
1. An introduction that provides context on the topic, eases the reader into your essay and has a “hook” that grabs people’s attention.
2. A thesis statement or controlling idea that takes a strong stand and is narrow enough to cover within the page limit e.g. if your umbrella topic is “The nudism movement promotes a healthy body image” you would have to narrow that down into a more focused topic that fits into that larger topic.
3. Research is a secondary concern and personal voice is first.
4. Transitional topic sentences that are clear, provocative, develop your thesis, and provide unity in your essay.
5. Body paragraphs that have a transition, a topic sentence, multiple examples, and a concluding sentence.
6. You must use 8 Sources from the Source Log in the Research Paper
7. The Quote Sandwich model (lead-in, quote, and analysis of quote) must be used with each quote.
Some analysis of all your supporting examples.
8. A conclusion that offers some ideas about what can be done about the situation.
9. Strong sentences that are both grammatically correct and sophisticated.
10. MLA in-text citations and a Works Cited page are required for this paper.
