Getting started to research
A research paper involves arguing and presenting a thesis, analyzing and persuading the reader of one's position using facts, details, examples and opinions. Choosing a good research topic is important - it should be interesting, researchable, based on facts rather than opinions, and narrow enough to be completed using available resources. Some ways to choose a topic include brainstorming, making idea webs or diagrams, and narrowing a general topic by adding more specific details. A supervisor can guide the research process but the student must work independently while receiving feedback and advice.

In this assignment, you'll be creating a
Wikipedia
-style entry of your own. Your entry can be about anything you want, as long as it's not about yourself. Combine your own expertise with information gathered from at least two sources, and then compose two to three well-organized paragraphs about a topic that fascinates you.
Just don't use
Wikipedia
to do your research. Try to add something brand-new to the world's largest encyclopedia.
Make sure to address the following questions in your
Wikipedia
entry:
How, when, and where did this topic originate?
What are some major characteristics of this topic?
How did this topic develop over time and who or what contributed the most to its development?
What detail do many people not know about this topic?
The key to writing a successful
Wikipedia
entry is researching information that interests you. Your goal is to collect and share your knowledge with a larger audience. To do this, you'll want to select the most interesting details and present them in a clear and organized way that engages your readers.
Hint: If you choose to write a biographical
Wikipedia
entry — whether it is about someone you know personally (such as a teacher or a family member) or a famous person (Cleopatra, Wyatt Earp, or Lady Gaga) — select the most important information you'll want to bring up. For example, you'll want to include where and when this person grew up, as well as highlights from his or her life and career. Don't forget to mention at least one detail that most people don't know about your subject.
Step 1: Understanding the Assignment
You can choose most any topic you want as long as it interests you and isn't autobiographical. Your topic, for example, could be a music group you like, a scientific theory, an invention, an inspiring public figure, or your dream vacation spot. If you're having a hard time choosing your topic, the following brainstorming activity will help you:
On a piece of paper, quickly jot down the answers to the following questions:
If you could be anyone from any time in history, who would you be?
What are your three favorite recreational activities?
What is your favorite subject in school?
If you could visit one city in the world, what would it be and what would you do there?
What's the title of your favorite book, film, television program, or work of art?
Now review the answers to these questions. Select the answer that seems the most interesting to you and write it at the top of a fresh piece of paper. Pretend that this is the topic of your
Wikipedia
entry. (Hint: If a topic seems too broad, like "watching television" or "English literature," make it more specific; for example, "reality television" or "Jane Austen.")
Using a clock or a timer, spend five minutes brainstorming a list of everything you already know about the topic. Don't worry about grammar or the order of the informat.

Unit Two Workshop and EssayIntro to PhilosophyInstructions.docx
Unit Two Workshop and Essay
Intro to Philosophy
Instructions
In the second unit in this class, we have focused on two things; we’ve looked at various texts in which the authors argue for a specific view on the mind-body problem and we have attempted to identify and report arguments. This assignment will bring these together.
You are asked to consider the following question: how is the mind related to the body or brain?
Ok, now that you’ve sorted that out, consider the passages below the instructions, from several of our our authors, namely, Descartes, Papineau, or Jackson. For this essay, you must consider one of these authors. Re-read the passage I have provided, in which he or she answers one of the above two questions. You might find that the author really answers both questions at the same time, or not.
Having re-read the passage, you must next try to find not only the author's answer(s) to the above question(s), but the reasons offered in support of his view.
What you must write in your Blue Book:
Now - and only now! — is it time to write. Here is what your paper must contain:
1. First, identify which author you’ll be considering.
2. You must next state, clearly, simply, and accurately, what your chosen author would say in response to the above questions. This should not be more than a single paragraph — get to the point! This might even be called your thesis or controlling idea. It’s the idea you’ll be exploring in the rest of the paper.
3. Next provide the reasons why the author believes what you have just claimed he does. Consider no more than one reason per paragraph. So, if you find three reasons, then write at least three paragraphs for this part.
4. In each paragraph, explain each reason simply, clearly, and accurately. Then elaborate a bit on what that means and try to show why or how it supports the main claim, How does this reason help him or her?
5. You must also provide evidence! That is, you must provide textual evidence supporting your claim that the authors in question really has this reason you’re discussing. The best and easiest way to do this is to quote, briefly and accurately, the sentence in which the author actually says the reason, from the passage I provided. Then restate it in your own words, explaining the passage as I described in number 4, just above. Remember, though, the evidence does not speak for itself. You must interpret and explain it. But you also must remain true to the text you’re discussing and the textual evidence will make that happen.
6. Ideally, the reasons you present will indeed be relevant to the main claim you presented (i.e., the answer you claim your author would give to the question(s) above). Don’t provide reasons that are irrelevant or even contrary to the main claim! You are trying to support it, remember. Also note that all of this is reporting what the author said, not what you think.
7. Finally, evaluate what you have just said. The author said it, but is it right? Do ...

This document provides background information on the history and development of microscopes, telescopes, and cameras. It discusses how the earliest models of these instruments evolved from single lenses to more advanced multi-lens designs over time. The text notes that early microscope and telescope inventors would be surprised by the high-quality yet affordable instruments available today. It encourages students to consider how life would be different without one of these measuring tools and to use these tools to make scientific observations.
Thesis SamplesRagged Dick” shows that in order to be success.docx
Thesis Samples:
“Ragged Dick” shows that in order to be successful you need to better yourself.
“Ragged Dick” shows that in order to be successful you need to be lucky.
“The Lesson” teaches us that race and class limit opportunity and that wealth distribution in America is unfair.
“The Lesson” reveals that despite the limits of race and class, hard work can lead to success.
How to introduce a quotation
(quotation sandwich method)
For non-fiction texts, use author tags before introducing a quotation
Author tag = author’s last name + a writing verb.
Writing Verbs: Use these verbs to describe how an author says something
Example: Mantsios reports that “one if five men will surpass their father’s social class” (254).
“Class in America”
Mantsios: argues, asserts, reports, suggests, emphasizes, insists, claims
How to introduce a quotation
(quotation sandwich method)
For fiction texts, provide the context for the quotation. Tell the reader who the quote involves, where in the story this quote takes place, and what is happening in the quote.
Example: Half way into the field trip, Miss Moore notices that Sylvia is getting angry “you sound angry Sylvia” (Bambara 7).
Different ways to analyze a quotation (quotation sandwich method)
Explain what the quotation means and how it supports your main idea.
Example, Mantsios reports that “one if five men will surpass their father’s social class” (254). In other words, most Americans will die in the class they were born in. This proves that all Americans do not have equal chances to succeed.
Helpful templates for quotation analysis:
In other words… Basically… What _____ is saying is…
This reveals, suggests, confirms, proves, shows, conveys, describes, disproves

Through researching a particular topic that is recent and examining it from multiple
perspectives you will create a fresh perspective and original findings that you can share
with your peers and our college community.
• Consider context. Make sure that you are clear about your purpose and
assess who your audience is and might be in the future.
• Make sure that your topic is something that you’ll be interested in and
curious about. If you know a great deal about the topic you will be less
likely to explore all of the perspectives that are being explored. You are
also less likely to be biased when approaching the topic if it is unfamiliar
to you.
You will have FOUR options for your paper. Options:
1. Choose a topic relevant to the themes in the stories that we have discussed
in class. The topic must be current. However, try not to choose a topic that
will have very few sources for you to research. SOME possible options
include, but are not limited to:
a. Power
b. Faith
c. Guilt
d. Remorse
e. Gender Roles
f. Surveillance
g. Identity
h. Race

Unit Two Workshop and Essay
Intro to Philosophy
Instructions
In the second unit in this class, we have focused on two things; we’ve looked at various texts in which the authors argue for a specific view on the mind-body problem and we have attempted to identify and report arguments. This assignment will bring these together.
You are asked to consider the following question: how is the mind related to the body or brain?
Ok, now that you’ve sorted that out, consider the passages below the instructions, from several of our our authors, namely, Descartes, Papineau, or Jackson. For this essay, you must consider one of these authors. Re-read the passage I have provided, in which he or she answers one of the above two questions. You might find that the author really answers both questions at the same time, or not.
Having re-read the passage, you must next try to find not only the author's answer(s) to the above question(s), but the reasons offered in support of his view.
What you must write in your Blue Book:
Now - and only now! — is it time to write. Here is what your paper must contain:
1. First, identify which author you’ll be considering.
2. You must next state, clearly, simply, and accurately, what your chosen author would say in response to the above questions. This should not be more than a single paragraph — get to the point! This might even be called your thesis or controlling idea. It’s the idea you’ll be exploring in the rest of the paper.
3. Next provide the reasons why the author believes what you have just claimed he does. Consider no more than one reason per paragraph. So, if you find three reasons, then write at least three paragraphs for this part.
4. In each paragraph, explain each reason simply, clearly, and accurately. Then elaborate a bit on what that means and try to show why or how it supports the main claim, How does this reason help him or her?
5. You must also provide evidence! That is, you must provide textual evidence supporting your claim that the authors in question really has this reason you’re discussing. The best and easiest way to do this is to quote, briefly and accurately, the sentence in which the author actually says the reason, from the passage I provided. Then restate it in your own words, explaining the passage as I described in number 4, just above. Remember, though, the evidence does not speak for itself. You must interpret and explain it. But you also must remain true to the text you’re discussing and the textual evidence will make that happen.
6. Ideally, the reasons you present will indeed be relevant to the main claim you presented (i.e., the answer you claim your author would give to the question(s) above). Don’t provide reasons that are irrelevant or even contrary to the main claim! You are trying to support it, remember. Also note that all of this is reporting what the author said, not what you think.
7. Finally, evaluate what you have just said. The author said it, but is it right? Do ...
4 1 5 Indicator Group
This document provides background information on the history and development of microscopes, telescopes, and cameras. It discusses how the earliest models of these instruments evolved from single lenses to more advanced multi-lens designs over time. The text notes that early microscope and telescope inventors would be surprised by the high-quality yet affordable instruments available today. It encourages students to consider how life would be different without one of these measuring tools and to use these tools to make scientific observations.
Thesis SamplesRagged Dick” shows that in order to be success.docx
Thesis Samples:
“Ragged Dick” shows that in order to be successful you need to better yourself.
“Ragged Dick” shows that in order to be successful you need to be lucky.
“The Lesson” teaches us that race and class limit opportunity and that wealth distribution in America is unfair.
“The Lesson” reveals that despite the limits of race and class, hard work can lead to success.
How to introduce a quotation
(quotation sandwich method)
For non-fiction texts, use author tags before introducing a quotation
Author tag = author’s last name + a writing verb.
Writing Verbs: Use these verbs to describe how an author says something
Example: Mantsios reports that “one if five men will surpass their father’s social class” (254).
“Class in America”
Mantsios: argues, asserts, reports, suggests, emphasizes, insists, claims
How to introduce a quotation
(quotation sandwich method)
For fiction texts, provide the context for the quotation. Tell the reader who the quote involves, where in the story this quote takes place, and what is happening in the quote.
Example: Half way into the field trip, Miss Moore notices that Sylvia is getting angry “you sound angry Sylvia” (Bambara 7).
Different ways to analyze a quotation (quotation sandwich method)
Explain what the quotation means and how it supports your main idea.
Example, Mantsios reports that “one if five men will surpass their father’s social class” (254). In other words, most Americans will die in the class they were born in. This proves that all Americans do not have equal chances to succeed.
Helpful templates for quotation analysis:
In other words… Basically… What _____ is saying is…
This reveals, suggests, confirms, proves, shows, conveys, describes, disproves

This assignment is intended to familiarize you with engaging academic research.
Through researching a particular topic that is recent and examining it from multiple
perspectives you will create a fresh perspective and original findings that you can share
with your peers and our college community.
• Consider context. Make sure that you are clear about your purpose and
assess who your audience is and might be in the future.
• Make sure that your topic is something that you’ll be interested in and
curious about. If you know a great deal about the topic you will be less
likely to explore all of the perspectives that are being explored. You are
also less likely to be biased when approaching the topic if it is unfamiliar
to you.
You will have FOUR options for your paper. Options:
1. Choose a topic relevant to the themes in the stories that we have discussed
in class. The topic must be current. However, try not to choose a topic that
will have very few sources for you to research. SOME possible options
include, but are not limited to:
a. Power
b. Faith
c. Guilt
d. Remorse
e. Gender Roles
f. Surveillance
g. Identity
h. Race
i. Tradition
j. Authority
i. Examples for the above include:
1. An examination of how power
has been viewed throughout
history
2. A discussion about tradition
and how local traditions can
help to define a community
or culture
3. A discussion about authority
and how it can and/or
should/should not apply

Day 4 Dauntless
This document outlines the final daily challenge for a week-long event where participants will have their performance evaluated to reveal their true faction. Today's Dauntless challenge requires participants to complete and document an act of courage within 24 hours that involves overcoming a personal fear, without anything physically dangerous.

Each day, Mrs. Stigge will post a new challenge and rank performances based on creativity and effort, with prizes going to the most dedicated. The first challenge tasks participants with helping someone in a selfless way within 24 hours and submitting proof of their act to Mrs. Stigge for evaluation.
Information and freedom
This document discusses the tension between information freedom and censorship on the internet. It notes that while the internet has allowed for greater access to information worldwide, many nations still censor and restrict their citizens' access. It also explores the debate around whether exposing suppressed information or protecting government secrets is more important, using examples like government censorship during protests versus risks to military operations from leaked confidential data. The document examines how new technologies like social media have enabled real-time communication and organization of events like protests and revolutions but have also given governments new ways to censor or cut communications during such events.
Info opinion survey
The document appears to be an information opinion survey asking a respondent to rate their level of agreement with various statements about information, technology, and society on a scale of 1 to 5. There are 24 statements presented covering topics such as access to information, the reliability of online information, file sharing, social networking, privacy, and the impact of technology on knowledge and behavior. The respondent is asked to indicate whether they strongly disagree, disagree, have no opinion, agree, or strongly agree with each statement.
Year end report 20102011
The school librarian submitted a report summarizing the library's activities for the year including: 1305 items circulated, 64 instruction sessions reaching approximately 1600 students, 14 teacher collaborations, 1543 database sessions, and 412 class visits totaling nearly 2000 website visits and over 6000 total resources. Instruction sessions covered topics such as primary sources, book talks, copyright, research skills and more. Goals for next year include implementing an information literacy course, selecting a department to pilot e-books, expanding collaboration, and addressing plagiarism.
Website evaluation
This document provides a template for evaluating the authority, objectivity, accuracy, and currency of a website. It includes fields to record the author/creator, evidence of authority, potential biases, indications of accuracy, date of creation/last update, and an overall rating. The goal is to assess key aspects of the website to determine its quality and usefulness for a given research topic.
Sequence of topics
This document outlines the key topics to be covered in a course on media and information studies, including: [1] the importance of information access and ethics; [2] finding and evaluating a variety of information sources; and [3] different types of communication tools and skills. It also mentions ongoing components on current events, literature, and a student showcase of additional tools. The course aims to equip students with skills for navigating the modern media landscape and communicating information effectively through various online and presentation formats.
Fall 2010 report
Meghan Stigge, the school librarian at Piper High School, submitted a semester report on the library's activities in the fall of 2010. Feedback from teachers praised the quality of students' work after receiving instruction from the librarian on topics like PowerPoint literacy. The librarian also offered tech tips that one teacher planned to teach all students. Subjects taught through collaboration included primary sources, book talks, image copyright, and research skills. Usage statistics showed over 750 books checked out, 189 class visits, and over 600 new website visits. Goals for the upcoming semester included revamping research lessons, increasing blogging for collaboration, weeding and reorganizing the fiction section, and creating a procedures manual.
Picking quality and using information
This document provides guidance on conducting research and using information sources. It discusses the reliability of different types of sources like books and online sources. It emphasizes that research databases provide quality, published information and can generate citations automatically. General websites found through search engines require more scrutiny to evaluate reliability. The document advises students on how to search for information online, including checking the "About" page and URL for credibility clues. It stresses that students' projects are only as strong as the information used and describes paraphrasing and quoting information found during research. The overall message is to use information wisely and appropriately cite all sources.
Books Databases and Destiny
The library's collection is outdated, with an average copyright age of 1987, meaning resources were published 9 years before most current students were born. A survey of faculty found that access to e-resources and databases are highly important, scoring on average above 4 out of 5 on importance scales. The librarian is submitting requisitions for new nonfiction books, two online databases covering various subjects, and an upgrade to the library software to allow students and staff to search resources.
Powerpoint design lesson plan
This document provides an overview of a PowerPoint design and resources lesson plan for high school students. The lesson plan includes reviewing media and content standards, analyzing examples of good and bad slide design, and practicing slide design in a 1 hour and 15 minute class period. Students will apply what they learn to design slides for an upcoming speech on organizations.
Better Powerpoint Slides
This document provides tips for creating a better PowerPoint presentation. It recommends keeping slides simple with sparse text and clear visuals such as your own pictures, diagrams, and charts. Study 1 discussed composing slides for a 15 minute in-lab activity. Following the tips can help lead to great delivery, amazing speeches, and a positive impact on the audience. The document works cited 3 sources for visuals and recommends themes to tie the presentation together.
Info Evaluation & Citation- HS student research
The document provides information about the Mexican axolotl. It describes the axolotl as a carnivore up to 12 inches long that retains larval characteristics throughout its life. It is found only in the lake complex of Xochimilco near Mexico City, according to the source National Geographic. The document also provides citations for two sources of information about the axolotl.
Defining research needs
This document is a lesson plan by Meghan Stigge, a school librarian at Piper High School, for teaching students how to better define their information needs for research projects or papers. The 60-minute lesson involves having students identify their research topic or thesis, brainstorm related concepts and questions using an online tool, discuss possible research sources as a class, and then select the top six sources that are best suited to their specific information needs and topic. The lesson aims to help students develop their research strategies and ability to conduct independent learning.
Digital annotation using diigo
This document provides instructions for a lesson on digital annotation using Diigo. The lesson is intended to improve students' reading skills and last approximately one class period. Students will set up Diigo accounts, read and annotate a text by highlighting important information and adding sticky notes with questions, related knowledge, opinions, and a summary including the author's purpose. Then students will evaluate a classmate's annotations using an evaluation form before returning to improve their own annotations based on the feedback. The teacher can assess the lesson through student completion of peer evaluations or by grading individual student annotations within private accounts or collaborative class groups on Diigo.
Back to School Presentation
The document discusses various statistics related to information availability and sources online. It notes that Google indexes over 1 trillion unique URLs, Wikipedia has over 2.6 million English articles written by 75,000 contributors, and TechCrunch has over 1.75 million RSS subscribers. The document also states that as much information is now created every two days as was created from the dawn of civilization until 2003. It concludes by questioning whether current lessons are adequately preparing students for the information-heavy 21st century careers in fields like data processing and computer systems design.
