Download TSIS_Templates.pdf  

Talk about the templates provided by They Say / I Say (TSIS).  First, answer these questions:  

· What did you know about integrating sources into your writing before this class?

· How does your reading of TSIS add to or change that knowledge?

Finally, choose one of the templates from TSIS and use it to respond to one of the sources you’ve found for your argument paper. Type out the sentence for your classmates to see.

Question 2.

Topic: Impact of The No Child Left Behind Act

Annotated Bibliography

· There is a template for that assignment  here .  Remember, this is a class that focuses on research, so the evidence you include should be from a trustworthy, Included 2-3 scholarly source (i.e. no Wikipedia, clickbait/ad-filled sites, partial theses, or only abstracts). By this week, you should have started your bibliography by compiling and writing about 2-3 sources. Let's make sure you are on the right track to help you with research and APA.

Question 3.

Topic: Impact of The No Child Left Behind Act

All research starts with a question, something you don’t know and need an answer to, a problem that needs a solution. Research questions are:

· About problems that have not been solved.

· Open-ended, meaning there is no conclusive answer to the question; when you ask this question, you instead receive a variety of responses or points of view.

So, as researchers and writers, you have to learn how to pose appropriate research questions to guide the research and writing process.

This activity will help you formulate an appropriate, open-ended question about a problem that will guide your research for your argument paper.

Follow these instructions carefully:

1. Choose a topic to research and write about. Tell me what it is!

2. Write 5-10 sentences about why this topic interests you.

3. Write 3 to 4 possible research questions about that topic.

4. Which question do you think is most appropriate for this assignment? Why? Remember, the best question will address a problem and be open-ended.
