PROJECT PLANNING AND REQUIREMENTS

1 The Project phase needs to STRETCH your abilities to CHALLENGE you to learn to do something you donrsquot know how to do now While it can be related to skills and interests you presently have it needs to

23 | P a g e

take you into ldquothe unknownrdquo where you can learn new skills and develop fresh interests One of the areas in which you will be graded will be the degree of challenge your project presented

EXPERIENCE HAS SHOWN THAT THE MOST CHALLENGING PROJECTS ARE THE MOST ENJOYABLE donrsquot cheat yourself by choosing something too easy

2 Be creative in finding the most interesting combination of research and work The key to success in this step is to BRAINSTORM Look at multiple possibilities for both the Paper and the Project before you commit Donrsquot just take someone elsersquos suggestion or previous Project CHOOSE SOMETHING YOU ARE INTERESTED IN

3 You are required to have an adult mentor for the Product phase You are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to find your mentor in the community This person may be

an instructor an advisor a supervisor - someone who can certify that you have spent a minimum of 15 out-of-class hours developing this product Your particular choice of topic will determine the appropriate type of mentor to choose

Parents relatives and people with whom you live are not acceptable as mentors Staff members can serve as mentors only in a subject or area for which you are NOT taking their

class For example if you currently have ndash or have had in the past ndash Coach Roach for woodshop he may NOT be your mentor for a cabinetry-related Project

6 Your parents must sign a commitment and a waiver agreeing to your project 7 The cost involved in your SP is entirely up to you and your family The school does not put a limit on what you may spend However if you choose an expensive Project yoursquoll want to be sure you have the money necessary to complete your Project hours

24 | P a g e

8 If you take a course whether at BRCC or with a private firm you must turn in the Instructional Course Notification with your proposal and your instructor must agree to sign the evaluation and verification at the end of your Project hours

9 You will need to produce a physical product as evidence of your project This ldquoproductrdquo has a wide definition it could be a performance it could be a demonstration it could be video of what you did This product will be part of the ldquovisualrdquo element of your Presentation to the judges in April You will also need to demonstrate your learning to the judges

10 You will be required to produce multiple pieces of evidence that your project hours have been completed

a log of your hours signed by the mentor an evaluation and verification of your work written and signed by the mentor a self-evaluation and justification that you write about your work a physical product seen and approved by your teacher

PROJECT SELECTION ANALYSIS

The first step to choosing a Project topic is to BRAINSTORM

26 | P a g e

think about CAREERS that interest or intrigue you think about LEISURE activities yoursquod like to learn how to do think about CRAFTS yoursquove admired and wondered if you could learn think about an ACADEMIC subject you like and might pursue in college think about a topic yoursquove learned a little about and want to KNOW MORE

After yoursquove generated a list think through these questions Which ones will be possible to research will lend themselves to the production of a product to use for the presentation will be affordable both in terms of time and money will stretch your skills and knowledge will give you a taste of a possible career or activity you might want to continue will maintain your interest for four months will challenge you

Set your list aside for a few days At the end of this time choose three that interest you the most List your three topic choices 1

2

3 Spend some ldquothink timerdquo on each of three items you chose Then check the following

Which area sounds the most interestingappealing to me Which choice will ldquostretchrdquo me the most Which area have I always been interested in and have not taken the time to pursue Which area will probably have the most resources available Which project will most likely fit my time and money budget Which area is the most unique and will be different from other Senior Projects To which area do my talents most lend themselves Which project would have the most positive impact on my school and community Which area would my parentsguardians prefer that I select Which area am I most likely to be able to use after I graduate

Remember that you will be living with this project for several months If you begin to suspect that your choice is really not going to interest you over an extended period of time will cost too much money OR will be too easy begin the topic selection process again

It is much easier to change topics BEFORE you begin the Senior Project journeythan after you have spent valuable time just spinning your wheels

SUGGESTIONS for PRODUCTS or PRODUCT COMBINATIONS

27 | P a g e

You are required to produce a physical product that represents the fifteen hours yoursquove spent and the learning yoursquove achieved Following is a list of some suggested products Some of these may be too limited to serve as a single product but might be combined with others to appropriately represent your Senior Project hours ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ A LETTER MURAL A LESSON MUSEUM EXHIBIT ADVERTISEMENT MUSICAL INSTRUMENT ANIMATED MOVIE NEEDLEWORK ART GALLERY NEWSPAPER STORY BULLETIN BOARD ORAL REPORT CHART PAINTING CLAY SCULPTURE PAMPHLET COLLECTION PANTOMIME COMIC STRIP PAPER MACHE MODEL COMPUTER PROGRAM PETITION COSTUMES PHOTO ESSAY DATABASE PICTURES DEMONSTRATION PICTURE STORY FOR KIDSDETAILED ILLUSTRATION PLASTER OF PARIS MODEL DIORAMA PLAY DISPLAY POETRY EDIBLES POLITICAL CARTOON EDITORIAL ESSAYS POP-UP BOOK ETCHING POWERPOINT EXPERIMENT PRESS CONFERENCE FAIRY TALE PROTOTYPE FAMILY TREE PUPPET FILM PUPPET SHOW FILMSTRIP RADIO PROGRAM FLIP BOOK RECIPE BOOK GAME SCIENCE FICTION STORY GRAPH SCULPTURE ILLUSTRATED STORY SKIT JOURNAL SLIDE SHOW LABELED DIAGRAM SONG LARGE SCALE DRAWING SOUND SHOW LEARNING CENTER SURVEY LETTER TO THE EDITOR TAPES AUDIO and VIDEO MAP WITH LEGEND TELEVISION PROGRAM MAZE TIMELINE MODEL TRANSPARENCIES

HINTS ON PASSING YOUR PROPOSAL

28 | P a g e

Have an ACTIVE PROJECT set out to learn to DO something Passive projects ndash job-shadowing observing riding along ndash will be sent back for revision The Committee wants you to be an active participant in this Project not a by-stander

Write a clear description of the PHYSICAL PRODUCT you intend to produce from your work (See previous page for suggestions)

Describe how you will DEMONSTRATE WHAT YOU LEARNED TO DO to the judging panel Describe ways in which you plan to show the judges your new skills

Pick something NEW If you play soccer learning to play a new position is not a stretch learning to play tennis would be Choose something CLEARLY DIFFERENT than what you are already doing

CHALLENGE YOURSELF The Committee is much more likely to pass Proposals that attempt too much than those that attempt too little

For COACHING projects list the SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES AND JOBS you will have For example

design the teamrsquos warm-up routine establish the batting order with an explanation of your reasoning set up and run a tournament contact parents

For BODY IMPROVEMENT projects (weight lifting body building weight reduction aerobics conditioning etc) ESTABLISH A BASE LINE AND SPECIFIC GOALS and specify the ways in which you will measure your success

For example before and after pictures of your body log daily workout types and reps current weight and measurements goal weight and measurements weight lifted now projected weight to be lifted current level of fitness projected level of fitness

For COMPUTER projects building a web site is insufficient given current programs and building a computer even with a kit is expensive

For MEDICAL EMT FIREFIGHTING AND POLICE projects be sure yoursquove talked to your mentor about what you are LEGALLY able to do Donrsquot indicate that yoursquore going to scrub in on a surgery unless you know that is allowed Remember that you will need to demonstrate your learning what WILL you be allowed to do

For BEAUTY related projects (hair nails etc) you will need to find a professional licensed in Louisiana who will let you work in a professional atmosphere

COMPUTER HINTS

2 You will need to have EDITED copies of many materials for your portfolio in May DO NOT LOSE THE COMPUTER COPIES of anything Save your Proposal your paper and any other word processed documents until Senior Project is completely over

3 As much as possible do all your Senior Project work on one computer and save it in two places If you donrsquot have access at home work in the schoolrsquos labs and purchase a USB device for storing all your documents (Many new computers do not accept disks)

4 You will be required to submit your research paper electronically to turnitincom You will need a functioning email address or you may have your teacher submit it through his or her computer Again you will need to have the paper available on a USB device

5 If you must change computers be sure to take note of what kind of computer yoursquore using Macintosh computers (those with an Apple logo) use a different system than PCs which usually use Windows A Mac disk will not work on a PC although a PC disk will work on a Mac An USB device however will usually work on both types

6 Set your margins before you begin word processing All Senior Project documents have a specified format be sure you stick to the format given for each document

7 Be thinking ahead about how you want to present your Senior Project to your judges during Presentations Computers are very helpful for presentations as they are an effective way to display photographs art work videos key ideas and so forth

2950 Charger Drive Baton Rouge LA 70802

May 21 2016

Dear Mr Johnson

Paragraph one should offer a general statement of your appreciation for the time and effort that the mentor extended on your behalf Specific details will make this part more personal and meaningful than general comments Itrsquos better to say for example ldquoThanks for taking Wednesday afternoons to watch me struggle with those bass scalesrdquo than to say ldquoThanks for all your timerdquo

Paragraph two should update your mentor on your progress since you last worked together Have you continued with your project How far have you gotten on your product or demonstration How is the practice for your presentation going What plans do you have to continue this interest into the future

If you know your mentor well or you have extensive thanks to give a third paragraph may be necessary For most people two paragraphs will suffice Whether you end with the second or the third paragraph your last sentence should repeat your thanks

Sincerely (your signature)

Sam Student

SPEECH PRESENTATION

35 | P a g e

Your home

Presentation Requirements 8-12 minutes of Presentation including live andor video demonstration answer 3-5 minutes of questions prepared and practiced dressed appropriately have passed Dress Rehearsal with teacher

STEP 1 WHAT AM I GOING TO SAY Begin by answering these questions 1 HOW SUCCESSFUL WAS YOUR SENIOR PROJECT (The answer to this question is your

FOCUS STATEMENT for your Presentation ndash the main idea that you will prove with specific details and demonstrations of your learning)

2 How do your paper and project connect 3 What did you learn to do and how can you teach the judges about that 4 What emotions did you experience as you worked through the project 5 What did you like the best Dislike the most 6 Who was your mentor How well did you work together 7 What was the most difficult part the easiest 8 What problems did you encounter 9 Did your project ldquostretchrdquo or challenge you effectively Why or why not Did you choose your project wisely 10 What personal growth did you gain from the paper and project What self-knowledge did you gain What knowledge of your topic did you gain 11 Did the project affect your plans for your future

STEP 2 IN WHAT ORDER AM I GOING TO SAY IT Jot each idea (from above) on a 3x5 or a 4x8 card then arrange them into an order that is logical and pleasing (See following for a sample organizational plan) Slip blank cards into spaces where visual aid is needed or might be appropriate Add blank cards for the introduction and conclusion be sure to complete them later Plan the display of your product (the physical part of your project) will it be an on-going integral part of your speech such as a slide show Will you wear it Sit on it Serve up samples Be sure to PLAN how to do this donrsquot assume it will just happen

STEP 3 HOW CAN I KEEP THEM INTERESTED Plan your introduction it should

grab the judgesrsquo attention take no more than 60 seconds some options begin with a quotation a reading dramatics jokes surveys audience

participation set games audio-visual devices demonstrations performance etc

Plan your conclusion a good conclusion should remind the judges of your initial FOCUS STATEMENT leave your audience thinking take no more than thirty seconds

Plan your transitions they should

36 | P a g e

move gracefully from one section of your material to the next keep the audience with you with no abrupt changes of subject be interesting can you make them funny touching surprising

Consider visual aids BESIDES your product they should keep the attention of the judges not distract them from your presentation add to the depth and interest of your presentation complement your PRODUCT which is the physical evidence of your project be arranged beforehand so you can have all the equipment you need at the presentation

STEP 4 HOW CAN I BEST PRESENT MY SPEECH

Stand up straight Be proud you have a right to PRACTICE your speech MAKE EYE CONTACT Practice often enough that you rarely need to look at your cards True communication happens with the eyes A speech without eye contact is only half a speech Avoid

gripping or leaning on the podium playing with your note cards locking your knees rocking back and forth bouncing a knee twitching wiggling giggling playing with

your hair DONrsquoT READ YOUR SPEECH

Your job is to TALK to your judges not read to them Know your material so well that you can tell them about your Senior Project

You should have ONLY the Introduction and the Conclusion written out word for word the rest of your note cards should be NOTES ONLY to remind you of the next point a humorous event etc (You shouldnrsquot need many cards)

Your VOICE needs to be loud enough to be heard by everyone lively and varied DONrsquoT use a monotone

ENJOY YOURSELF the MOST valuable asset you have is your ENTHUSIASM Your voice your gestures your facial expression should express your pride at what yoursquove completed Judges are very forgiving of errors of enthusiasm they are NOT accepting of monotonous voices bored

faces and attitudes lifeless presentations simplistic products and projects

STEP 5 HOW CAN I PREPARE FOR THE JUDGESrsquo QUESTIONS You canrsquot anticipate all of the judgesrsquo questions or even the areas they may focus on but the following questions will allow you to prepare for the most common areas of questions If you were a judge listening to your speech what would you want to know What would you LIKE people to ask What unusual qualities does your project have that might spark interest What part of your paper might make people curious What controversial topics if any do you touch on How did you finance it How did you manage your time Does it connect to any other interests in your life

SAMPLE SPEECH OUTLINE

37 | P a g e

Following is an outline of one Senior Project Presentation There are other organizational plans which would also work The key is to PLAN your Presentation with each of the following pieces included

INTRODUCTION (Write this out) A story personal experience quote the point is to create a ldquohookrdquo capable of catching the audiencersquos attention

BODY Transition

1st point Why I chose my area (use specific details )

Transition

2nd point How my paper and project relate to each other (use specific details)

Transition

3rd point What I learned to do (This is the HEART of your speech TEACH the judges what you learned to do Be DETAILED and SPECIFIC SHOW THEM what you learned to do)

Transition

4th point What I learned about myself (use specific details )

Transition

5th point How my project has influenced my future plans or choices (use specific details )

Transition

CONCLUSION (Write this out)

End with a connection to - an ldquoechordquo of - your introduction

THEN CONSIDER Where will you show and explain your product Do you have more than ONE visual to incorporate

AUDIO-VISUAL COMPONENT38 | P a g e

When you present to the Judges YOU are the expert and it is your job to be articulate informative and interesting

You might plan to use charts posters graphs PowerPoint or Glogster as visual aids You can also use slides or a video which shows you in some phase of your project If your project is musical an audiotape or a performance might be appropriate You will need to demonstrate your learning so be sure you include some time for this demonstration

REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN HAVE NO MORE THAN TWO (2) MINUTES OF ldquoNOT TALKINGrdquo WHILE YOU PRESENT A VIDEO OR A DEMONSTRATION

Examples of correct use of audio-visual elements

Playing a two-minute segment of a song you learned on the piano Showing a two-minute video of you teaching children a lesson Playing a two-minute audio of you talking through your first skydive

Examples of incorrect use of audio-visual elements

Video-taping your whole presentation and just showing it to the judges Playing five minutes of the horse show you competed in Showing three or four minutes of the children dancing a dance you choreographed

Your goal is to DEMONSTRATE YOUR LEARNING so use your audio visual tools to help you do that Some effective strategies

Use video to show your stages of learning ldquoThis is when I first learned how to get on a horse ldquo and ldquoThis shows me jumping the first barrier in the competition three weeks laterrdquo

Demonstrate a new skill you learned ldquoWhen cutting glass to fit into the window pane first you have to score it with this little knife You hold it at this angle ldquo

Show the steps in the process ldquoThis chart is my first attempt at blocking out the movements I wanted the actors to make on stage rdquo and ldquoThe video will show how my initial blocking changed by the time the play opened Yoursquoll notice that rdquo

How do I get the equipment I need All rooms are equipped with a board and an LCD projector About the time we begin Dress Rehearsals yoursquoll receive a letter on which you will indicate if you need o A computer and a projector for presentation software like Power Point o A computer and a network or internet connection o A large room for demonstrations of martial arts etc o Access to a parking lot or a field to take the judges outside Any other equipment ndash an easel for example ndash yoursquoll need to provide yourself

How do I practice my Presentation with my audio-visual component

39 | P a g e

All English IV classes will schedule Dress Rehearsals so that ALL students can feel confident that theyrsquore ready to present to the judging panels Students using PowerPoint will download their document to the classroom teacherrsquos laptop so that there wonrsquot be time lost during Presentations changing computers Be sure your media is cued to exactly the right place and the volume is set appropriately PRACTICE using your audiovisual component several times before you present so that yoursquore comfortable with the equipment and can use it to enhance your Presentation

SUGGESTION FOR POWER POINTPREZI USERS 1 Slides are NOT note cards Donrsquot transfer your notes onto the Power Point slides Use your note cards for YOU use the Power Point to help your judges understand key points

2 Less is more Just because you can do something fancy doesnrsquot mean you should Avoid any effect that would detract from the content of your Presentation or from you

3 Use no font smaller than 36-point Anything else is hard to read from the audience

4 Write very little text on each slide Bulleted lists should be short (3-4 words at most) that summarize your main points Donrsquot read the slide to the judges theyrsquoll be insulted that you think they canrsquot read for themselves

5 Exercise good artistic judgment Use contrast (dark-colored text on a light background or vice-versa never dark on dark or light on light) Keep your slides simple

6 Practice your presentation in the venue you plan to present in (in advance ndash the same day is too late) Place the laptop in a place where you can see it but it wonrsquot be blocking the audiencersquos view Be sure that you are not standing in front of the screen that you can see the judges and that you have easy access to the remote or the keyboard

APPROPRIATE APPAREL FOR SENIOR PROJECT PRESENTATIONS 40 | P a g e

This decision should be made with YOUR success in mind You should dress for your Presentation as you would dress for a job interview where you want to make a REALLY good impression Your goal is to present yourself as a mature and responsible adult who is ready to leave high school and to be successful in the ADULT world What you choose should be clean intact (no holes or rips) and PROFESSIONAL not trendy Good grooming is a MUST

Bathed or showered with clean and combed hair Ladies - subtle make-up Gentlemen - clean shaven

APPROPRIATE APPARELLadies Gentlemen bull a dress or skirt and top bull sports coat and tie bull pants and jacket or top bull nice cordskhakis shirt amp tiebull flats or heels (no wedges)

NOT APPROPRIATE

bull cleavage bull sagging bull midriff showing (as with short tops) bull jeans or shorts bull short skirt (shorter than mid-thigh) bull sweatshirt T-shirt bull overalls jeans or shorts bull hat cap visor bull sweatshirt T-shirts bull untied shoestrings bull capris ankle pants bull ankle pants

OTHER ISSUES Tongue piercings should be removed so your Presentation is understandable Remember that all adults are not as appreciative of PIERCINGS and TATTOOS as your friends may be Be tasteful this is not the time to flaunt Wear appropriate shoes While it is spring flip flops and dirty sneakers are as inappropriate as stiletto heels and combat boots A costume--or work clothing--is appropriate if it is an INTEGRAL part of your Presentation

Examples of APPROPRIATE uses wearing firefighter turn-outs for a firefighting Project the turn-outs are part of the demonstration of learning wearing chefrsquos clothing for a cooking Project the student will be handling and cooking food and needs to be dressed appropriately for health and safety concerns wearing a clownrsquos costume for a Project on becoming a clown the clothing and makeup are an integral part of the Project

Examples of INAPPROPRIATE uses wearing shorts or a swimsuit for a Project on waterskiing the clothing is not an integral part of the Presentation wearing coveralls for a building or automotive Project while you may wear them while working on the Project they are not part of the Project

If you are unsure ASK YOUR TEACHER

Steven SmithOctober 17Journal Entry 3

The last week has been really frustrating I planned to be finished with the rough draft of thecomposition by Friday but I found that I couldnt resolve the problems with the middle sectionwithout more help I tried calling my mentor but he wasnt available when I wanted to get to workWhen he finally called me back and we went over the section I realized what I was doing wrong Atthis point I am only of the way through my rough draft but I think I know what to do now and itwill be fairly easy to finish it in the next few days I discovered that listening to some jazz whiledriving to and from school helps get me in the right frame of mind for working on it Ellington wassuch a master at arranging Maybe I should check the library for some material on him to get someinsight on how he solved composition and arranging problems I was getting really frustrated withmy work but I think talking to my mentor helped I also have to remember that my mentor is notalways available right when I need him - he has his job too The book Combo Jazz Instruction wasgreat and gave me lots of ideas and answered my questions about the rhythm section I just need toremember that Kenny G started out this way writing music for his high school jazz band Even theamateur level that Ill end up with will be a great learning experience All along I thought I learnedbest through experience and without help but Im seeing that something as complex as composingand arranging is really a group effort and I need to ask for help more often

LETTER TO MENTOR

PLEASE LEAVE WITH MENTOR WHEN SIGNING CONTRACT

Dear Senior Project Mentor

Senior Project is a program designed to help seniors learn to solve problems to plan a project from beginning to end and to set reasonable goals All MPA seniors must complete the four-phase project in order to pass These phases are a research paper a physical project which produces a product a portfolio of the studentrsquos work and a presentation to a panel of teachers and community members Mentors are a critical part of the physical project phase

The responsibilities of a studentrsquos mentor are to design with the student the details of the project the student intends to do to verify the hours the student spends on the project by signing a Log of Hours to verify studentrsquos progress midway through the project to advise and oversee the product the student produces to encourage the student helping the student to solve hisher own problems to evaluate the studentrsquos work on the project

We look at the role of mentor as similar to that of a coach You are not required to help write the research paper solve the studentrsquos problems or attend the studentrsquos panel presentation at the end of the semester

Please work with your student to complete the contract as soon as possible Students must have their mentor contracts completed before they can submit their Senior Project Proposals for approval Please keep this letter for your future reference

Some people who have served as mentors have expressed an interest in sitting on the Presentation panels as judges While you may not serve as a judge for the student you have mentored certainly your experience as a mentor would be beneficial for whatever panel you are assigned If you are willing and able to serve in the spring please contact me at 636-5863 at your earliest convenience

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call me at the contacts below Thank you for your support of the Madison Preparatory Academy academic program

Research Paper Guide

RESEARCH PAPER GUIDE

The 3-6 page Senior Paper is one of the culminating activities for all MPA English Language Arts students It is directly

linked to the studentrsquos overall Senior Project and it is the beginning of a journey to thoroughly examine a topic of student

interest The thesis statement which answers an essential question is the driving force of this research based paper

Generating quality research with appropriate MLA documentation is a wonderful opportunity for students to demonstrate

their real- world critical thinking and problem-solving skills The Senior Paper must be either a position paper a

74 | P a g e

problem-based paper or a persuasive paper Biographical career exploration informational how-to papers or previously

submitted papers will NOT be accepted

STEP ONE IDENTIFY YOUR TOPIC

Your Reearch Paper topic should serve as background information to your Senior Project hours Ask yourself what areas related to your Senior Project hours you would like to know more about and what point you would like to prove about that topic

For example if your project is to doing wedding photography you might want to know more about one of the following the differences between digital and film cameras the development of the camera outdoor vs indoor photography the differences between landscape portrait and wedding photography

If your project is to build a cabinet for a wide-screen TV you might want to know more about one of the following different styles of cabinetry the Arts and Crafts movement of the early 1900s why wide screen TVs are better than the older formats the differences between LCD and plasma TVs

Once you have developed some ideas for your topic you will need to choose one to start working with Keep this list of ideas though in case you have difficulty finding enough information on your first choice

75 | P a g e

STEP TWO POSE QUESTIONS WORTH RESEARCHING

Having settled on a topic what are some of the specific ideas yoursquod like to explore Brainstorm or free write to explore what kinds of information yoursquod like to learn or discover about this topic

Examples How do film cameras differ from digital cameras Is one better than the other Why are some people still using film cameras How did the old format for TVs come about How are the new TVs different Does the move to digital TV have anything to do with widescreens Why are the new TVs so expensive

These questions will GUIDE YOUR RESEARCH and will help formulate the THESIS for your paper

STEP THREE SEARCHING FOR INFORMATION

In a Research Paper you are required to do FIVE DIFFERENT SEARCHES for information that means you must look in FIVE DIFFERENT PLACES You can have more searches of course

In these five searches you must find FIVE DIFFERENT SOURCES OF INFORMATION That means that you might find two sources in one search and none in another You can have more sources of course

ONE of your sources MUST BE AN INTERVIEW You cannot have all five sources be interviews though

You may use just ONE ENCYCLOPEDIA as a source It can be either print or electronic

There are FOUR main types of information you can search for printed materials (books newspaper articles pamphlets etc) primary or in-person sources for interviews (local experts witnesses government employees etc) other media (television shows films documentaries etc) and online materials (from databases internet sites government sites etc)

PLACES TO SEARCH FOR PRINTED SOURCES EBRP Public Library The Daily Advocate Community Service offices Government agencies

With printed sources you need to be aware of bull Copyright date Use the most recent unless historically significant bull Authorrsquos reputation Use the most well-known and well-respected in the field bull Scholarship Use materials that are footnoted detailed and accurate Do not use sensational or unsubstantiated material bull Relevance Use material that relates closely to topic bull Objectivity Use sources that show both sides of an issue that are not one-sided

76 | P a g e

PLACES TO SEARCH FOR PRIMARY (in-person) SOURCES Businesses Government agencies Community agencies Lake Tahoe Historical Society Personal or family network Word of mouthpersonal networking Mentors (refer to the person by his or her title or expertise Fred Jones Master Mechanic or Dr Dora Smith Director of Health and Family Services East Baton Rouge Parish)

PLACES TO SEARCH FOR OTHER and ONLINE SOURCES STHS Library web site AT LEAST ONE SEARCH MUST BE DONE HERE Online Encyclopedias (a good place to start ndash may use ONLY ONE in the paper) LTCC Library they have access to different databases than the STHS library does Film libraries film websites television websites national organization websites

BE SURE YOU EVALUATE INTERNET SOURCES ndashUSE ONLY THOSE THAT ARE RELIABLE AND ACCURATE

Look at Who wrote the web page

Look for the name of the writer or organization somewhere on the home page Determine if the writer is a qualified and knowledgeable expert in the field

Is the information accurate Is the information given factual or just opinion Does this information agree with facts yoursquove found in reliable print sources

Is the information up-to-date Check the date it was created andor last updated

Is the information biased - expressing only one point of view Exaggeration name-calling and stereotyping are clues the site might be biased

Is this a personal web site Many students have their own Web Pages on which they may post their research papers etc

Such sites are NOT acceptable sources for your research Is someone trying to sell you something

Sites on which someone is trying to get you to buy a product or service are NOT appropriate for research there is no guarantee that the information provided is accurate and reliable as their goal is to SELL not to inform

Is this a reliable web address (URL) gov indicates sites that contain information from a government agency edu are educational sources university sites are almost always reliable UNLESS the site is a studentrsquos

webpage org is a non-profit organization be sure to look to the source organizations sponsoring a

cause may be less reliable than public institutionsrsquo web sites net indicates a variety of organizations that offer internet services look closely at the

source com is a business Most major new organizations have reliable sites while businesses

trying to sell a product might be unreliable

77 | P a g e

REMEMBER THAT All internet materials a student wants to use must be printed out and brought in for the teacher to approve A student may use ONLY those sources the teacher has checked and recorded as appropriate All print outs must include

1 the web sitersquos home page which will have the sitersquos title AND the date of the most recent update for that site

2 the article or information you intend to use including its author and its publishing information if it originally appeared in print

3 the http - that is the Uniform Resource Locator or URL - the internet address which MUST be listed in the Works Cited

STEP FOUR BUILDING A LIST OF SOURCES USED

As you find sources for your paper you need to keep a list of those sources This first list will be a ldquoworking listrdquo of sources and will change as you find new sources or eliminate those that are not useful Once yoursquove completed your search and you are working on the Final Draft of your paper this list will become the Works Cited list at the end of your Research Paper Each kind of source that you might use should be listed CORRECTLY so that anyone who reads your paper could find each of these sources from the information yoursquove given In the following chart yoursquoll find the correct format for common types of sources you may use If you have a type of source that is not listed check with your teacher

To begin open a document in the word processor SAVE AS ldquoWorking Sources Listrdquo Set your spacing to DOUBLE SPACE Set your margins to ldquohanging indentrdquo ndash see your teacher or the HELP section of your word processor for directions This will allow the first line of each entry to go to the margin while all following lines are indented Punctuation is important in this list pay close attention to the directions to get this punctuation correct Observe the rules of title punctuation Titles of books are underlined titles of articles are enclosed in ldquoquotation marksrdquo

TYPE DIRECTIONS EXAMPLEBooks Begin with the authorrsquos last name

COMMA first name PERIODPut the title and subtitle underlined PERIODNext is the place of publication COLON publisher COMMA date of publication PERIOD

Usually this information is taken from the title page and copyright page of the book

If several copyright dates are given use the most recent

STEP FIVE GETTING FOCUSED

Before you begin taking notes and accumulating information you need to have a mental framework - an initial plan of organization - into which this new information will fall

Go back to the question you began with Do the questions you started with still interest you Does there appear to be enough research available to answer them Is your focus appropriate to the length of the paper not too limited and not too broad Do you need to broaden or narrow the topic to have a manageable amount of material

Follow a search strategy Begin with sources that give you an overview of your subject An encyclopedia or reference book is a good

source for an historical subject You may NOT use Wikipedia as a source for your paper Because Wikipedia entries can be changed at

any time by anyone Wikipedia is not an acceptable academic source You will need to adjust your questions as you get deeper into the research What you find in one source or

from one interview may cause you to find a different source or have different questions as you go into your next Search

Remember ndash you will need 5 different searches and a MINIMUM of 5 useable sources

83 | P a g e

STEP SIX DEVELOP YOUR THESIS

Your thesis CLARIFIES what you want to prove in your Research Paper The questions that you began with will most likely help you formulate your thesis You will be able to go back later and carefully design your introductory paragraph or paragraphs For now you will need to keep in mind the SPECIFIC QUESTIONS yoursquore setting out to answer Write out your thesis and submit to your teacher as instructed Keep it in front of you as you begin to do your research so you keep you main ideas in mind throughout the process

STEP SEVEN DOING THE SEARCHES

Now that yoursquove found some sources AND have your thesis your next step is going to be doing the research and gathering that information

You have to keep track of the information you gather so that your teacher can see that your paper is written from the sources you found Your teacher may ask you to bring into class one or more of your sources so that you can do some of your writing in class

You are going to use NOTE CARDS or COPIES to gather your information

For sources you find online Print the article or website you want to use be sure you have the authorrsquos name or the name of the organization sponsoring the website Print the title page of the website you may have link back to find that site This is how you know how VALID and CURRENT the information is

For an interview Have your list of questions you will ask at the interview If at ALL possible audiotape or videotape the interview so that you can relax and interview the person asking follow up questions and so forth without worrying about taking notes Make note cards (see the following sections) from the interview on the tape so that your teacher can see where your information came fromIf you canrsquot tape the interview make notes quickly on paper as you talk then transfer those notes to note cared to turn in

For printed sources Unless you own the magazine pamphlet newspaper article etc you will need to make NOTE CARDS from printed material so that your teacher can see it Below are the instructions on making note cards Follow them carefully to avoid having problems later on in writing your paper

NOTE TAKING INSTRUCTIONS 1 Get a stack of 3x5 note cards lined or unlined 2 Put ONE piece of information on each note card so it can be more easily moved around later when you begin organizing your note cards 3 The majority of your notes should be summaries of information from the sources rather than exact quotes

84 | P a g e

4 Take notes on important information o Details o Opinions o Facts o Examples o Quotations (VERY FEW)

5 DO NOT COPY from the source Any language from your sources that appears in your paper without being indentified as a quotation will be plagiarism a serious academic offense 6 Be sure to use QUOTATION MARKS to indicate ALL material you DO take word for word from your source Exact page references should be included since you may need these page numbers later in the citations

An example of note-taking

sub-topic summary stmt

author and page quotation marks show quoted info

HOW TO AVOID PLAGIARIZING o Donrsquot look at the source while you are summarizing or paraphrasing Close the book write from memory and then open the book to check for accuracy

o Donrsquot half-copy the sourcersquos phrasing either by mixing the authorrsquos phrases without using quotation marks or by plugging your own synonyms into the authorrsquos sentence structure

ORIGINAL VERSION If the existence of a signing ape was unsettling for linguists it was also startling news for animal behaviorists -Davis Eloquent Animals p 26

ACCEPTABLE PARAPHRASES When they learned of an apersquos ability to use sign language both linguists and animal behaviorists were taken by surprise (Davis 26)

According to Flora Davis linguists and animal behaviorists were unprepared for the news that a chimp could communicate through sign language (26)

Your goal is to put the sourcersquos information into YOUR WORDS

YOU WILL BE TURNING IN YOUR NOTE CARDS and PRINTOUTSWITH YOUR THESIS STATEMENT AND OUTLINE TO YOUR TEACHER

STEP NINE WRITING THE ROUGH DRAFT

ALWAYS SET THE FORMAT OF YOUR DOCUMENT FIRST This draft MUST be done on the word processor Set your margins at 1rdquo all around Choose 12 point font from these choices Times New Roman Do NOT use bold italics or ALL CAPS

GIVE THE DOCUMENT A NAME AND SAVE IT Find a computer that is consistently available and use it Be sure you have a USB device (flash drive) to copy your work save all your work in more than one place Be sure to ldquoSAVErdquo periodically as you type - about every page is good Every year someone forgets to save and loses an entire paper when the plug gets pulled or the power flickers

OBSERVE THE RULES OF WORD PROCESSING Begin the document with the first page the title page yoursquoll make later Set your document to double space but DO NOT doubledouble space between paragraphs Tab once to begin paragraphs Using the HEADER section of your word processing program place your name and page number icon in the top right hand corner o Check the Help section of your program for instructions if yoursquore not sure how to use the Header o Do NOT try to put the page number at the top of each page as you type When you print the number will not appear as you placed it and will cause spacing problems Space ONCE after every word TWICE after every sentence Commas go directly after the word they follow then a space before the next word DONrsquoT press the return key at the end of each line because word processors WRAP text - that is they move from line to line as the margins indicate The only time you should press return is to begin a new paragraph When you indent for a long quotation each line is indented 10 spaces from the left goes to the margin on the right and is double spaced

(You should learn how to move text around in the computer you are using often you can type a long quotation in normal fashion highlight it and move it to an indented position by using the ruler at the top of the screen)

UPDATE YOUR SOURCES PAGE Be sure that your Sources page is formatted correctly o DOUBLE SPACED o BEGIN the first line of each entry AT THE MARGIN o INDENT any additional lines one tab List your sources IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER o Alphabetize by the last names of the authors (or editors) o If a work has no author or editor alphabetize by the first MAJOR word of the title not a an or the o If the title begins with a an or the that word will appear at the end of the title followed by a period If you are citing electronic sources with a URL be sure to UNLINK THE HYPERLINK so that the address doesnrsquot appear in blue o Highlight a hyperlink o Go to ldquoInsertrdquo

89 | P a g e

o Go down to ldquoHyperlinkrdquo o Click on the ldquoRemove Hyperlinkrdquo box o Click on OK

ORGANIZE YOUR MATERIALS ACCORDING TO YOUR OUTLINE This process may move you back and forth between your outline and your note cards You must determine if you have sufficient material to cover your outline and make decisions about the most effective way to present the material

STAY FOCUSED AND CONSISTENT Keep your thesis in mind throughout the paper Stay focused on how your information answers the questions you have Begin with the first section of your outline moving through the rest of it in the order yoursquove chosen Do NOT use ldquoIrdquo ldquoI discovered rdquo ldquoI found that rdquo and so on Do NOT use ldquoyourdquo instead of ldquoIf you go to the garage ldquowrite ldquoIf a customer goes into a garage rdquo

WRITE YOUR FIRST DRAFT QUICKLY Following your outline and referring to your cards donrsquot worry about style and grammar at this point Your goal is to FULLY COVER each of your searches each source you found and the findings or information you found in each source

AVOID PLAGIARISM Paraphrasing requires that you use YOUR words simply changing a word or two from the original is not enough

USE QUOTATIONS SPARINGLY Limit quoting to one of the following conditions when you need to say EXACTLY what was said in the original when the person quoted is an authority on the subject Remember that in a Research paper quotations are the ONLY pieces of information that must have the name of the source and page number if needed in parentheses directly after the quotation is completed

THE TITLE PAGE OF YOUR PAPER IS ALSO THE FIRST PAGE OF YOUR PAPER Open the document on your word processor In the upper left-hand corner type (double-spaced) o your first and last name o your teacherrsquos name (Mrs) o the classclass period o the date (update this with every new draft) o the word count of the paper (available under ldquoToolsrdquo) o Double-double space and type the paper title centered o Double space and begin first indented line of paragraph 1

95 | P a g e

STEP TEN REVISE THE DRAFT

Revise ON the word processor

POLISH THE INTRODUCTION Make your introduction interesting to the reader try starting with a quote an illustrative incident an attention-getting statement etc This paragraph is designed to lead into your THESIS which should appear at the end of the Why the Search paragraphs

POLISH THE CONCLUSION This paragraph should smoothly and effectively finish off the main point of your research paper The intent is to leave the reader feeling that yoursquove fully covered and explained your topic and that yoursquove found the answers to the questions you began with Ideally the conclusion would echo the introduction in a way that satisfactorily completes the paper

BE SURE EACH BODY PARAGRAPH COVERS YOUR SEARCH ANY SOURCE(S) YOU FOUND IN THAT SERACH AND YOUR FINDINGS In describing the Search clarify exactly where you searched If you found a Source be sure to identify that source completely and in detail so that your reader could find it on your Sources page ldquoThe book I found was Mules of the Nevada Desert written by Bob Skinner in 1996rdquo MOST of each body paragraph should be about the findings you discovered in your sources These should be detailed and completely explained

POLISH THE TOPIC and CLOSING SENTENCES OF EACH BODY PARAGRAPH The topic sentence of each body paragraph as well as the closing sentence of each body paragraph should connect to the overall idea (the THESIS) of your search Well written topic and concluding sentences give a paper a sense of UNITY and COHERENCE that helps a reader ldquogo with the flowrdquo of your ideas and research

CORRECT ALL ERRORS indicated in the teacherrsquos response to your Rough Draft Do this by checking off or crossing out each suggestion or comment as you address it or correct it in your Rough Draft NOT CORRECTING THESE ERRORS WILL CAUSE YOU TO GET A REWRITE ON YOUR FINAL PAPER

READ THE PAPER ALOUD FOR GRAMMAR AND STYLE Having parents older siblings and other students read and comment on your paper is VERY helpful Make corrections as needed

SPELL CHECK Have a good speller read back over the paper for the spelling errors that only the HUMAN eye knows computers are NOT perfect spellers

CITE SOURCES PROPERLY TO AVOID PLAGIARISM In a Search paper citations are done in TWO ways

96 | P a g e

Within your writing when you identify where you searched and the actual useable source you found You must give the AUTHOR (if given) and the TITLE of each source as you discuss it o In the STHS library I found two books The most useful of these was The Use of Lie Detectors in America by Samuel Adams

If you use a DIRECT QUOTATION ndash the actual words of a source ndash then you must indicate that quotation with quotation marks and you must CITE it at the end of the quotation o Adams believes that ldquothe overuse of lie detectors on television and in movies has made us think they are more reliable than they arerdquo (Adams 48)

There are a few rules to observe Your goal is for your reader to know where to go to find the information you have just cited You must have a complete and accurate Sources page to do correct citations because the way you have listed a source on the Sources page determines how you cite it in the text For direct quotations the authorrsquos last name and the specific page number of the work where the material can be found are placed in parentheses directly following the quotation Electronic sources DONrsquoT have page numbers

STEP ELEVEN PREPARE YOUR FINAL PAPERSee sample paper for examples of the following

Check that your title page has all information centered The title appears about one-third of the way down the page (~367 inches) Double-double space then put ldquobyrdquo (Note ldquobyrdquo not ldquoByrdquo) Double-double space again and put your name About 367 inches from the bottom of the page put the following lines again centered and double-spaced o your teacherrsquos name o the class period o the date o the word count of the paper (available under ldquoToolsrdquo)

The text should be double-spaced with the first line of each paragraph indented five spaces have pages numbered at the top right corner (with your last name and page number) use 12-point font be only Times New Roman font NOT be in bold italics or all CAPS have 2 spaces after a period 1 space after a comma

Your Works Cited page should have the title centered not underlined italicized or bold have the page number as a continuation of your paper have all sources listed ALPHABETICALLY by whatever appears FIRST on the line the authorrsquos last name or the title of the article or source be DOUBLE SPACED have all entries begin AT THE MARGIN second and following lines are INDENTED so that the name or article stands out to the left have all WEB ADDRESSES ldquounlinkedrdquo so they donrsquot appear in blue ink as links

97 | P a g e

You may attach an Appendix (or Appendices) for supplementary material Appropriate appendices might include o a graph o a list of an authorrsquos works o a diagram o an illustration of an invention o a portrait o a map One appendix is entitled Appendix two or more are lettered Appendix A Appendix B etc The title is centered at the top of the appendix page The source of the appendix should be cited on the Appendix itself at the bottom of the page Include only those appendices that are referred to in the text of your paper o For exampleldquo gray beard as seen in his portrait (See Appendix) Laterrdquo o or for more than one appendix ldquoEarly research indicated a 20 change (Appendix A) while research done in the latter part of his life showed a much smaller change (Appendix B) Appendices appear after the Sources page

PROOF-READ AND FINAL CHECK BEFORE TURNING YOUR PAPER IN TO THE TEACHER BE SURE YOU CAN ANSWER YES TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS _____ Are all of the sources cited in the paper listed on the Sources page _____ Are all of the sources listed on the Sources page actually discussed in your paper _____ Have you cited all quotations in your paper _____ Do page numbers appear in the top right corner with your last name _____ Does your title page have all material centered and double spaced _____ Do you have 1rdquo margins on all sides of the text _____ Have you checked (and corrected) any spelling or typing errors _____ Have you double spaced throughout the paper including long indented quotations and the Sources page _____ Have you read all the way through the final paper to make sure no pages were misarranged no paragraphs or sentences dropped no words omitted
