Person of Interest Research Paper (POI): • The point of this assignment is for you to not only explore a communication disorder more thoroughly, but to also try to understand what it might be like to live with that disorder. • For this paper, pick a person of interest who has dealt with a communication disorder- this can be someone well-known like Gabby Giffords, Helen Keller, King George VI, and even Barbara Walters OR can be a more personal take if someone close to you has been affected by a communication disorder. • In TWO PAGES, use a research paper format to explore the details of their particular disorder, the struggles that accompany that disorder, and how they have overcome those obstacles. • Use APA format for citations. The References page does not count as one of your 2 required pages. No title page, abstract, or section headings required. Just focus on using correct in-text citations and forming your references page. • You must include a Title. “POI Paper” “Research Paper” etc. are NOT appropriate titles. • Include your name, date, class, and assignment on the upper left corner. • You must have at least 2 academic sources (textbook, scholarly article, etc.) Websites can be useful, but do not count as “academic” sources. Feel free to use them for definitions, quotes, or statistics, but you still need 2 academic sources. • 12-pt font (something traditional, nothing crazy) • Double Spaced • Submit ONLY as PDF or Word doc. • See syllabus for due date(s). Grading Scale: • Appropriate depiction of the disorder- 50 points • Overall organization and quality of writing- 30 points • Adherence to APA format- 10 points • Grammar and sentence structure- 10 points = 100 points
