RESEARCH PAPER

STEPS IN THE PROCESS OF THIS ASSIGNMENT:

1. Begin with the Annotated Bibliography. This should provide most if not all of the sources you need for the Research Paper. Refer to your annotations to determine which sources you need in the research paper and which ones are not needed or helpful. (It is NOT necessary to incorporate all 30 sources from the A.B. into the research paper.)

2. Again, narrow and focus the topic sufficiently.

3. Locate and gather any additional sources that are needed.

4. Write the Research Paper.

5. Revise and Edit as necessary.

For the purposes of this assignment you are to use at least 15 sources, which must include the following:

You must include at least:

5 professional journal articles gathered through the Kent Library data bases

1 print (non-electronic) book

1 newspaper article

1 website

More of each type of resource may be used as necessary. The numbers listed are the minimum requirements.

Other types of sources (magazines, news footage, interviews, plays, radio/TV/movie productions, etc.) may also be used as desired.

The research paper is to be 6-8 pages not including the Works Cited page (required).

Use MLA style in-text citations and include a Works Cited page at the end. As you well know by now, excellent citing information can be found in the Hacker ​Pocket Style Manual.

Do NOT include a title page. The first page will include the following information: Your name, the due date, the title of the paper, and class-specific information (such as EN140 and section number, Semester and year), and the instructor’s name.
