How do I complete a research paper? Hero- (ex: George Washington) Step 2: My topic is : Biographical Step 1: What type of research am I doing?

Step 3: What information do I need to gather?

Step 4: Where can I find this information? Books * Internet * Databases * Extras: Magazines, Films, Newspapers * = required sources

Step 5: How do I complete a source card? Book: Author’s Last Name, First. Article Title (if in a text such as an encyclopedia), Book Title. Publishing Place; Publisher, Copyright (most recent). Ex: Doe, John. “Milton Hershey”. World Book Encyclopedia. New York: World Books Inc., 2003.

How do I complete a source card? Database: Author’s Last Name, First. Article Title. Date of Publication. Database Name. Ex: Doe, John. Milton Hershey. 5 October Biography Reference Bank.

Step 6: How do I complete a note card?

Example note card

Step 7: Place information into a timeline. Example –I. Birth (Thomas) A. 1. Dec. 12, 1863 B. Harrisburg, PA –II. Childhood A. Parents (Marshall, 21) 1. Pete 2. Lily B. Siblings 1. 2 brothers 2. 1 sister

Step 8: After you complete the timeline, write the rough draft. Remember to: –Skip spaces –Leave a margin –Write in pencil or erasable pen –Include internal citations

What is internal citation? Citing the source from which your information was retrieved –Example: John Doe was born in Denver, Colorado on March 11, 1919 (Thomas).

When do I use internal citation? When you change sources When you use information from a different page

How do I cite information when the entire paragraph is from one source? At the end of the paragraph –Ex: John Doe was born in Denver, Colorado on March 11, He lived there with his father, Thomas, and mother, Julie, until he was 18-years-old. Along with his parents, he had two brothers, Tim and Josh, and one sister, Mary (Thomas).

He lived there with his father, Thomas, and mother, Julie, until he was 18-years- old. Along with his parents, he had two brothers, Tim and Josh, and one sister, Mary (Marshall, 21).

He lived there with his father, Thomas, and mother, Julie, until he was 18- years-old. Along with his parents, he had two brothers, Tim and Josh, and one sister, Mary (21).

Step 9: After the rough draft, you must: Edit –Spelling –Grammar –Punctuation Revise –Sentence structure –Word choice –Does it make sense?

Then, you are to complete the: Final Copy –Make sure to read the final copy to eliminate any remaining errors.

Lastly, make sure you have included your work cited page. To do this, you must: copy information from source cards (place in alphabetical order based on first word on source card) place on last page of paper by itself
