...Research Paper: Information Preparation After choosing the research topic, you will gather information. This is not simply listing the sources you intend to use in your paper. Rather, this is a presentation of the material you have gathered from the approved sources to use in your paper. This material consists of the direct quotes, indirect quotes, and other information from each source which you plan to incorporate into your paper. You are still in the research phase as you do this. You are going through scholarly sources to find material that you can incorporate into your paper. The Information Preparation assignment should contain a large amount of material—probably more than you will ultimately use in your paper. There are 2 ways to organize the material for the Information Preparation. They are as follows: 1. Following a properly-formatted bibliographic entry for each resource you intend to use, include quotes, paraphrased material, or bits of information from that resource that you believe you will use in your paper. Preface each item with the topic that it can be used to support in your paper. 2. A second way to organize your document for this assignment is by topics you will cover in the paper. Use the points and sub-points which you intend to cover in your paper as headings for this organizational method. For example, if your paper were on Paul's calling, you might be touching on how his background as a Pharisee prepared him to fulfill his new role...

Is a particular film based on a true story actually “true”? Does female body image in the media affect young kids? Does cyber-activism work? Should preschool aged children watch television? Was Edward R. Murrow the greatest journalist of all time? Is product placement in movies effective? Is illegal music downloading declining? 1. General Topic. Select your topic. Start with something general about the Mass Media and then narrow your idea. Think about all the areas and issues that have been/will be covered in this class. Select a topic you’d like to research further. Be sure you have a specific focus or point for your research. Don’t try to tell all there is to tell about some vague, general subject.

English classes The following is a list of project types that can be created to showcase your learning and understanding of the story that you read on your own. Each marking period you will first have a book approved by Mrs. McDonough. Each marking period will have a different genre that students must read. At the end of the presentations, the new genres for the next 9 weeks will be revealed. These book report options will be presented in class during the 8th week. YOU MAY NOT REPEAT PROJECTS! Students will be graded on the written portion of the option for a writing grade. The presentation and conversation will be graded on comprehension of the story and receive a grade for Reading. It is important that you include literary elements. In addition, you must always include the title, author, genre, setting, plot, characters, & theme. The expectations for the oral presentations is that you stand in the front of the classroom and share with the class the plot of your book, some interesting points (about the story or your project) explain the elements of your project, any opinions, and any recommendations. It is really important that you do NOT read to the class. The objective of a presentation is your ability to talk about something to the class, not to read things to us. – PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS...

For example, you might take an English class that focuses on literature and popular culture, or a history class that focuses on the rise of the modern city.
