Presentation transcript:

Research: Where do I begin? The search is on!

Note Taking Paraphrase Put the notes in your own words Make sure that you put the source card number on the card

Note Taking Quote The quote should be compelling and meet the following standards: The wording is such that it is memorable The author of the quote is an authority It is supported with observations Use partial quotes if the quote is long and rambling

Note Taking Summary: Use summary to outline key points on a note card. Paraphrase– do not copy the exact words of the author without quoting.

I have a topic!! Finding a topic that you like is the first step. Right now, it’s pretty general, so your first step is to see what’s out there!

Starting the search Google and skim! No matter what side of the issue you will be supporting, it’s essential that you see the WHOLE PICTURE!

I FOUND IT!! When you find an article that you think may be useful, get out your note cards and put all the information that will help you find it again. Include a phrase at the bottom of the card that helps you remember where you will use it in your paper. Also, include citation punctuation to save time later.

Author, last name first (period) Name of article in quotation marks (period inside quotes) Name of publication (Underlined followed by a period.) Name of publisher (NP if no publisher is named followed by a comma) Date of article with day, month abbreviated, year (followed by a period) Web (if found on the Internet: Followed by a period) Date of access (Internet sources: followed by a period). Print (if found in a printed publication– followed by a period)

Step One You have found all of the listed sources that help give you a clear overview of the function of the United States Post Office. Create a source card for each of the listed sources including a line at the bottom of each card as to its usefulness in your paper. Make sure you match the number with the correct source.

EXAMPLE Gonslaves, Chris. 3 “Wasting Away on the Web” eWeek.com Ziff Davis Enterprising Holdings, Aug. 2005. Web. 12 September 2012. (Information on the benefits of blocking social networking sites in homes with children)

Sample Research Question The United States Post Office should be restructured to meet the needs of the changing world. The United States Post Office provides efficient and reliable communications across the country and should not be restructured.

Developing a Central Research Question On a note card, write out your topic in the form of a question: What is the issue? Example: Over the past decade, total mail volume has decreased as competition with electronic mail and various package delivery companies have taken business away from the USPS. Should the USPS be reconstructed to be less of a financial burden to the United States and more effective to meet the needs of the changing world?

Divide your issue into two opposing views RESOLVED: The United States Postal Service is outdated and should be reconstructed to meet the needs of a changing world. RESOLVED: The United States Postal Service is an effective and reliable means of communication and should remain unchanged as it currently meets the needs of our changing world.

Preliminary Outline Statement of position goes at the top (This will be replaced with your thesis_ Overview of Topic (Define your topic and give background. Your overview will end with the thesis) II. Concession (points of support for opposition) Point 1 of support Point 2 of support Point 3 of support VI. Conclusion and call to action

Preliminary Outline Example The USPS is outdated and needs to be reconstructed to meet the needs of the changing world. I. Postal Service as it is now and the problems II. Concession III. Economically Draining IV. Inefficient in the 21st technological world V. Consolidation VI. Conclusion and call to action

Take notes and use Slugs A slug is a note that tells which paragraph in your paper you will use the information. Your note cards should have both a source number and a slug. Your outline may change as you go, which is fine.

Example of note card with slug Economics 2 Heavy decrease in mail volume over the past decade e-mail for general friendly correspondence (thank you notes, invites, friendly letters) Junk mail on Internet as opposed to delivered

DUE DATE ++! YOU SHOULD HAVE THE FOLLOWING DONE AND READY TO GO BY TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18: SOURCE CARDS RESEARCH QUESTION ON ONE NOTE CARD RESEARCH ISSUE DIVIDED INTO PRO AND CON A PRELIMINARY OUTLINE COMPLETED

Practice Makes Perfect!
