Research assignment—check due date
What is research? Like other kinds of writings, research requires that you focus on a particular subject, develop a thesis, and support the thesis with convincing evidence. The evidence presented in research, however, is more detailed than that in an essay, and the sources must be cited in the text (parenthetical citations) and documented at the end of the paper (works cited).
In a sense, a research paper is like a scientific experiment. Readers should be able trace your whole experiment. They should read what ideas and evidence you worked with, where you found them, and how you used them in your paper. If readers have any questions about the information you have presented or the conclusions that you reached, they can start with the sources and recreate or check the experiment for themselves. If they want to investigate further, your sources (works cited page) will guide their readings.
As you write, keep the following in mind:
1. purpose, audience, and form should direct your writing
2. find the best that has been written about your topic
3. Use your sources to make your point
4. document your sources; do not plagiarize (to be discussed later)
ASSIGNMENT:
Select a social issue that affects society directly or indirectly. You want to consider some issues that have plagued society through the years rather than research something too contemporary as you need to locate all types of sources.
Some issues to consider—not necessarily to select:
Bioethics immigration racial profiling
Illiteracy Divorce political corruption
Juvenile crime Euthanasia assisted suicide
Alcoholism terrorism censorship
To help you find a subject, go to ; it is a good site to use as it provides a list of controversial issues.
To avoid moral issues, reconsider the issue. For example, if you want to write about abortion, argue instead whether condoms should be distributed in public schools.
You will NOT write a research paper. But, you will have to find the information about your subject. Your final project will be one paragraph with 2 parenthetical citations and the works cited page. I will discuss more about your research later.
