Research Paper 1. If you don’t know your topic yet, get out your writer’s notebook and brainstorm a list of possible topics (something in the past 100 years that has impacted the US today). 2. Think about possible people you could interview who are primary sources (review pg. 31 for information on what is a primary source. Mr. Krake will come around in a bit and answer questions. 3. Take out your Research Paper Rubric and make note of the due dates in your day- planner/calendar.

The key to conducting a good interview is being prepared; and the key to being prepared is asking good questions. Work quietly to come up with questions to ask. Think critically about the reasons for asking questions and about the questions that might result in the most interesting responses. Primary Source Interview

Plagiarism Let us suppose, for example, that we're doing a paper for Music Appreciation on the child prodigy years of the composer and pianist Franz Liszt and that we've read about the development of the young artist in several sources. In Alan Walker's book Franz Liszt: The Virtuoso Years (Ithaca: 1983), we read that Liszt's father encouraged him, at age six, to play the piano from memory, to sight-read music and, above all, to improvise. We can report in our paper (and in our own words) that Liszt was probably the most gifted of the child prodigies making their mark in Europe in the mid-nineteenth century — because that is the kind of information we could have gotten from a number of sources; it has become what we call common knowledge.

Plagiarism However, if we report on the boy's father's role in the prodigy's development, we should give proper credit to Alan Walker. We could write, for instance, the following: Franz Liszt's father encouraged him, as early as age six, to practice skills which later served him as an internationally recognized prodigy (Walker 59). Or, we could write something like this: Alan Walker notes that, under the tutelage of his father, Franz Liszt began work in earnest on his piano playing at the age of six (59). Not to give Walker credit for this important information is plagiarism. However, if we report on the boy's father's role in the prodigy's development, we should give proper credit to Alan Walker.
