10th World Studies 11.28.16 Today’s Agenda: Research Notecards Turn in: Nothing Take out : Planner/Calendar Internet Device Note Cards Today’s Learning Objectives: I can understand how to perform research and create useful notecards. Today’s Agenda: Research Notecards HW: Topic (you’re late…) Research Question

Topic vs. Question Your topic is a noun or phrase Marie Antoinette the 100 Years’ War Fascism Your question should be a complete sentence. How did the 100 Years’ War impact religion in northern Europe?

Focus Too broad a topic means only covering the surface of that person or issue The Russian Revolution would be too big to manage in a reasonable length paper Focus on one issue within that topic How did Tsar Nicholas’ policies contribute to the Russian Revolution?

Types of Questions: Reference Reference questions are typically answered with known facts or statistics. You will likely have to ask some reference questions in your research. Ex: "What percentage of drug-related crime in 1999 was committed by dealers, not users?"

Types of Questions: Report Review or report questions are typically answered with what is generally known about a fairly narrow topic. Ex: “How did the original thirteen colonies become the United States?”

Types of Questions: Research Research questions are open-ended. They require a variety of accumulated information from different sources to develop an answer, and the student is required to draw his or her own conclusions. Ex: "How does Hawaii's location and climate affect its economy?”

Some ways to begin a research question: Why… How… What are the effects of… What are the consequences of… Contrast (then & now) What was the influence of ___ on ___?

Primary, Secondary, & Tertiary Sources Primary source (minimum of 2) one prepared by an individual who was a participant in or a direct witness to the event being described. Secondary source a document prepared by an individual who was not a direct witness to an event, but who obtained a description of the event from someone else. Tertiary source (AVOID!) a document that contains summarized or condensed versions of material. Textbooks… Encyclopedias (Technically—but through our database will be acceptable…)

Sources of Information Primary sources Eye or ear witness Original objects Secondary sources Copies of objects Second hand information

Primary Sources of Information Original documents Relics Remains Artifacts

Secondary Sources of Information Newspapers Periodicals Reviews of research and other references Encyclopedias Textbooks Not appropriate for a formal research paper

Thesis-Driven Paper A thesis-driven paper makes an arguable claim and defends it. Do not confuse a research paper with a report: you need to offer a thesis about your topic and then present evidence and analysis that provides support and explanation.
