Guidelines for Writing the Research Paper
To write a research paper, you must choose a topic and develop a thesis. Your thesis statement
forms the basis of your argument and guides your argument to a logical conclusion. In the body of
the paper, you will examine issues relevant to your thesis and use research to support your
assertions about those issues.
Note: Research is an analytical process, so you are expected to discuss viewpoints that are different
from your own and to present research results in an unbiased manner.
I. Research Topics
You may select your topic from one of the subject areas below. It is important that you select a topic
that interests you, as you will spend the next five weeks researching and writing about that topic.
1. Arts, Media, Philosophy
1. Should organized religious groups be political advocates or tend the spiritual needs of
people? Is possible to strike a balance?
2. What is a hero? Is the true meaning of the word being diluted in today's media?
3. What values do “reality television” shows appeal to? How have they changed television
viewing habits?
4. In an age of information, are Americans any more or less literate than they used to be? Why
is this the case? And what are the consequences of this trend?
5. While we say we value originality in American culture, do we? Is an original really more
valuable than a copy, and, if so, why?
2. Science, Health, and Environmental Issues
1. With so many problems on planet Earth, should the United States continue to fund space
exploration?
English 122: Composition II

2. What is the impact of disposable products and packaging in the marketplace and on the
environment? Are there better ways to do business? Should new government regulations be
developed? Are the environmental hazards overstated?
3. Should U.S. environmental policy focus on developing more oil resources or on developing
renewable energy sources? Or, is there another, better way to frame the discussion?
4. Should developing nations be held to the same levels of pollution control as more advanced
nations? Why or why not?
5. Most developed nations have universal health coverage. Why doesn’t the United States have
universal health coverage?
3. The Social Sciences
1. American prisons have a disparity of minority inmate population. Is this trend due to a
higher rate of minority crimes or the manner in which the judicial system operates?
2. Mixed racial and cultural groups are growing in the United States. Should each group expect
to be treated as a separate entity, or should residents of the United States be considered
Americans without the hyphen?
3. What motivates terrorists and assassins, and how do their actions affect society?
4. What is the democratic benefit of the Internet's unlimited choices if citizens narrowly limit

Unit 3: Synthesis Project
You will be creating an AP Exam Synthesis Question. The Synthesis Question gives you several sources and asks you to combine (synthesize) them with your own thoughts to create a cohesive essay. This is the same goal as a research paper. Your question (prompt) and sources should be formatted, labeled, and presented as on the AP Lang Exam. This will be modeled after the ones in the sample packets you were given.
Source Requirements:
· 8 sources
· No sources older than 10 years
· At least two sources published within the last two years (2020, 2021, 2022)
· Provide 1-2 sources that are images (political cartoons, graphs, charts, etc.)
· Sources should demonstrate a range of positions and approaches to the topic. Your goal is to figure out what 2-3 of the main “sides” are in the debate around the issue and represent those sides fairly.
Research Resources:
· Use this
link to access academic databases through CPS and Lane.
Example topics:
· Security vs Privacy: Personal Rights
· Standardized Education Movement
· Parenting Styles of the 21st Century
· Why Movements Matter: Voices of the People
· Technology’s Impact on American Families
Project Requirements:
Include, neatly formatted in one document
· Prompt page with directions, introduction, and assignment
· 6 sources
·
MLA citation of each source
· 3 potential thesis statements for this essay
a. One that is open
b. One that is closed
c. One that is a counter argument thesis.
· Choose one thesis statement, and create an outline of a response to ensure that others can synthesize these sources.
The most effective Synthesis Prompts give the test-takers a wide variety of sources to consider. These sources are of various types, lengths, and opinions. This diversity allows each test-taker to choose their own individual approach to the assignment while providing them with the tools to adequately synthesize into their paper.
You are going to choose EIGHT sources specific to your assigned topic. This will ensure that your group will be providing sources that show the complexity of the issue.
Therefore, when choosing your sources, keep several guidelines in mind:
1. Choose sources that cover a variety of viewpoints on your assigned topic, making sure to keep the sides evenly represented.
2. Choose sources from a wide variety of locations and formats. Use the list below as guidance; it is certainly not all-inclusive. Requirements are in CAPITAL letters. Beyond those required types, you may choose the rest of your sources at your discretion.

Running head: HISTORY 1
HISTORY 2
HISTORICAL EVENTS
A)
1 The secondary schools movement describes a term used in educational history literature describing era from 1910 to 1940 during which secondary schools started sprouting across the United States.
2 The Kalamazoo school case. Sought to support high school education, it occurred in 1874.
3 In 1876, the Meharry Medical College was founded in Nashville, Tennessee. The college became the first medical school in the South for African Americans.
4 In 1876, a system was published by Melvil Dewey called Dewey Decimal System. Developed in 1873, DDC is recognized as world’s most widely used library.
5 In 1879, the first Indian boarding school was opened in Carlisle.
B.) I have chosen the secondary school movement and the Kalamazoo school case as case studies to analyze my similarities and differences.
Unique elements of historical secondary school movement are as follows;
i) The period witnessed a rapid growth in high schools graduation rates and national economy at large.
ii) The increase in secondary education for first half of the twentieth century made it possible for high college graduation rates after World War II.
iii) Led to a marked upsurge in some women in the U.S. labor force.
Unique elements of Kalamazoo school case.
i) In Michigan State, the number of high schools increased from 107 in early 1870's to 278 by 1890.
ii) This event was a court case that sought to halt funding of the public school using tax money.
iii) Kalamazoo established its first high school in 1658.
Similarities between the two historical events.
i) The growing credential value brought about by the two past events gave residents in the cities an authoritative incentive to push for more accessibility to high school.
ii) Through the “Secondary School Movement” high schools started gaining more recognition, the Kalamazoo case further entrenched high schools political legitimacy.
iii) Both historical events encouraged public support for the concept of universal education and the belief that schools were to serve poor and wealthy persons in society.
These events are still significant today because through them public schools have been defined, and more, the funding of schools by tax money is now legitimized.
The most important result of the "Secondary school Movement" is the increased enrollment in high schools across the U.S. The increased education opportunities had far reaching advantages to the economy. The most important and significant result of the Kalamazoo case is that it provided a legal basis for the funding of public schools using tax money.

Figure It Out!
Why Teach Math/Science?
Multicultural Answers:
Use knowledge to make the world a better place
Teach basic, functional skills as well as important themes like conservation; health; wealth distribution; voting…
Research has demonstrated male dominance and cross cultural under-representation in math/ science fields (at both school and societal levels)
Why Math and Science
“Today, I want to argue, the most urgent social issue affecting poor people and people of color is economic access. In today’s world, economic access and full citizenship depend crucially on math and science literacy.”
Bob Moses, Civil Rights Activist and Found of The Algebra Project
Radical Equations: Math Literacy and Civil Rights, p. 5
Indicators of Social Inequity Related to Science & Math Education
Professions that draw highest salaries tend to emphasize math and science
These fields tend to be segregated by race and gender
Patterns of segregation by sex and race can be viewed in patterns of enrollment in math & science in K-12 system
Patterns of racial and gender homogeneity also evident in representation in illustration and content of science & math textbooks
Failure to engage all students undermine their potential and future lifestyles/chances.
What Do We Want To Achieve in Math/ Science Education?
Multicultural Answers:
Critical (reflective) math and science literacy

Traditional Answers:
Mastery of selected skills and knowledge of selected “facts”
Stratification of curriculum (tracking)
Content Concerns
Multicultural Answers:
Recognizes that Math and Science are not “culture-free”
Many cultures have contributed to our knowledge of Math and Science
Current uses of mathematics/ science in society (social issues as math/ science problems)
Emphasizes process (DOING a problem), not just product (getting the CORRECT answer)
Traditional Answers:
Claims that Math/ science are “universal”, culture-free subjects
Math and science are “objective” and, therefore, bias-free
Math and science problems have one right answer
Instruction/ Activities
Multicultural Answers:
Learning through meaningful, reality based problem solving activities
Inquiry-based approaches (teaching students to ask questions)
Allowing for mistakes (science as a process of reasoned trial and error)
Multiple learning styles addressed
Interdisciplinary inquiry (link science and math with other subject areas)

What are the main advantages of using HR recruiter services.pdfHumanResourceDimensi1
HR recruiter services offer top talents to companies according to their specific needs. They handle all recruitment tasks from job posting to onboarding and help companies concentrate on their business growth. With their expertise and years of experience, they streamline the hiring process and save time and resources for the company.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party.

Thesis Statement Examples
“ Although companies often have legitimate concerns that lead them to monitor employees’
Internet usage—from expensive security breaches to reduced productivity—the benefits of
electronic surveillance are outweighed by its costs to employees’ privacy and autonomy”
(Hacker, 2007, p. 12).
“Much maligned and the subject of unwarranted fears, most bats are harmless and highly
beneficial” (Hacker, 2007, p.10).
“ Understanding the limitations of medical treatments for children highlights the complexity
of the childhood obesity problem in the United States and underscores the need for
physicians, advocacy groups, and policymakers to search for other solutions” (Hacker, 2007,
p. 453).
“Raging in mines from Pennsylvania to China, coal fires threaten towns, poison air and
water, and add to global warming” (Hacker, 2007, p. 10).

Draft
1. Begin to write in chunks of text defined by the
parameters of each main point.
2. Continuously refer to the thesis in order to stay
on track. Use key terms from the thesis to
thread each section together.
3. Integrate information from sources as you draft,
and include parenthetical citations.
4. Move from point to point rather than from
author to author.
22. Student Learning Center 22
Integrating Sources
Research papers demand abundant reference to
professional sources. That is, your research paper
will be generously populated with the voices of
the published experts. Your job is to manage
those voices, to synthesize them, to use them to
substantiate your claim.
23. Student Learning Center 23
Integrating Sources
Use a variety of lead-ins to introduce concepts or findings from
researchers:
1. According to Smith (2001), the presence of a television set in the
home even changed eating habits; frozen TV dinners, TV trays, and
TV tables altered the physical and social contexts of family meals.
2. By the early 1960’s, “90 percent of all households had at least one
television set” (Bishop & Marx, 2006, p. 2).
3. Television programs and commercials reinforced rigid gender roles
and promised consumers material wealth if they could fit the roles.
One social critic from the era remarked that “television certainly
nurtured both consumerism and conformity” (Cole, 1966, p. 24).
