Clearly this has been a challenging week with regard to the research paper. This challenge has been academically profitable in my opinion. For your Friday Activity during week 12, you MUST provide two statements related to your research project. 1. State your topic clearly and specifically. No.."it is kinda to do with...." Define it in specific terms. As an example: "My topic focuses on Japanese internment during WWII, with a specific focus on the experience of those at Manzanar." 2. Write your research question and link it to American identity. Speak to how what you stated above changes, influences, and/or modifies some way that Americans think of themselves or the world. As an example: "To what degree and in what way have issues related to Japanese-American identity changed since WWII?" 3. Put on your Noodle Tool account as list of your sources. Ideally, after working for one week you have something near 10 appropriate sources. No need to hand write or type Noodle tools information. I believe I can access this from my teacher account. Type or write this up and be ready to hand it in. |
