Assignment for Tuesday, December 14, 2010

Find at least three internet sources for your research question. Your research question must be written on your “Research Paper Planning Worksheet,” and that must be in your folder. Additional “Research Paper Planning Worksheets” are available in the classroom.

Read each reputable article you find carefully, and record the information on the “Author, Organization, URL” form provided. Print out the information using the guidelines below.

The sources you pick to use must be REPUTABLE. Remember to check the “About Us” section and google author names. If you are unable to determine whether a source is reputable or not, IT IS NOT REPUTABLE. You must find another source. Reputable sources make their credentials and qualifications accessible. You should question the validity of a site that does not easily provide good information about who created it and what the credentials of the authors are.

Guidelines for printing out articles: You may print directly from the web page, but if you do this, you must do a "print preview" and count the pages, making sure to only print the pages you will be using for your paper. You must also expect to wait longer for your document to print if you print directly from a web page. You will print out your article much faster if you copy and paste it into Word, making sure that you have copied the FULL URL, the author and the organization or publication information onto the Word document.
