Welcome to the Freshman Research Paper 2015!Today you will begin of one of the most exciting World History projects of the year—the Freshman Research Paper or FRP. During the spring, all 9th grade students research and write an analytical research paper: think of it as another step toward becoming a more independent student—and person. The goal of this project is to use the research and analytical writing skills that we’ve practiced throughout the year on a variety of assignments and to bring all those skills together in a single thesis-driven essay. Completing this exciting, challenging project will help you begin your next transition--to 10th grade!

In class, we will review how to use research note cards, assess the usefulness and reliability of sources, and gather information for an annotated bibliography. For several days, class will be held in the library so that you can have access to books, databases, and the expertise of the LHS librarians. We will also spend time reviewing analytical writing skills, and you will have an opportunity to write some of your paper during the school day. You will be expected to use Google Docs (connected to your lexingtonma.org email address), so you can have access to your documents both at school and at home.

All homework assignments up until the due date for the paper will be focused on the FRP. This will include gathering sources from Cary, Boston Public, or another library, using on-line resources at home, and writing drafts of the essay. While much of the research and writing of this paper will take place in school, you are expected to spend 20-30 minutes a day (or 1.5 to 2 hours per week) to this project outside school.

You may find that you share a topic with other people. Like all historians, journalists and writers, you may share sources or quotations (cited correctly, of course). However, the final product, the actual writing, must be your OWN writing. As always, I expect you to act with integrity and uphold the LHS Honor Code. Plagiarism will not only result in an F but also will earn the plagiarist a lengthy conversation with Dean Caniff or Dean Perrotti. You will be graded on both your research process as well as the final paper. Meeting interim deadlines and doing high quality research will be part of your 4th Quarter grade. The grade on the final paper counts as 60% of the final exam grade. The final exam, which you will take during finals period at the end of the school year, will count toward the other 40%. These two percentages combined will constitute 20% of your average for the year.

Here’s how your history grade for the year is calculated:

Add together:Quarter 1 GradeQuarter 2 GradeQuarter 3 GradeQuarter 4 Grade

Final Exam Grade (60% FRP; 40% final exam in June)

Total divided by 5 = World History grade for the year

The paper is due on Friday, May 29, 2015

As usual, information, the calendar, and handouts including this packet will be posted on the class website. You should also feel free to email me with questions at any point during the project.

Finally, remember that you are ready for this!

The Fine Print: FRP RequirementsResearch

Use a wide variety of sources sources should include print (books), databases (ie, ABC Clio), and on line sources minimum of 7 sources including 1 encyclopedia, 2 databases or reliable web sites, 2 books most notes should paraphrase information but some should include direct quotations reliable audio and video sources (documentary films, podcasts, etc) are also acceptable sources

Take high quality research notes enter source information into NoodleTools electronic note cards (quality matters more than quantity, but the quantity should be substantial) thoughtful sub-topic headings on each card that demonstrate some initial analysis

(headings explain why information matters; not broad categories like “background”)

Analytical PaperIntroduction

provide historical context; introduce topic to reader thesis statement

Body Paragraphs organized around 2 PERSIA GEM categories or 2 organizing ideas make 2 claims related to each organizing idea or PERSIA GEM category (4 claims in total) clearly present at least 2 pieces of evidence for each claim thoroughly analyze each piece of evidence 3-5 in-text citations including both direct quotations and paraphrased information

Conclusion remind the reader of your thesis statement and organizing ideas provide a reflective sense of closure by explaining the significance of the ideas you’ve presented (why

this topic matters)

Works Cited annotated bibliography MLA Format Use NoodleTools and export to print stapled to paper as the final, unnumbered page

Format 6 paragraphs in length (roughly 4-5 pages) double-spaced, 1” or 1.25” margins, 12 point easy to read font (such as Times New Roman)

Extra HelpMs. Shea will be available during Z block (after school) and during some study halls. In addition the LHS Librarians are available during the school day, as wel as before and after school to help students find sources and create the Works Cited page.

Due DateThe final paper is due Friday, May 29. Your grade will be lowered if your paper is late. This deadline is firm—even if you are absent any day during the project.

Use the Librarians as a Resource! The LHS librarians have worked with many 9th graders on the FRP. They have good

suggestions of where to find information both in print and on line and can also help you put together your annotated Works Cited page.

The librarians are usually available whenever the library is open: during the school day, as well as before and after school. They will appreciate it if you make an appointment ahead of time, but you can also drop in for help.

Using Other Online Sources• Use Sweet Search not Google: Sweet Search helps filter search results so that you are

more likely to find reliable sources• Check the reliability of every source! Who created the site? Who published or

sponsored it? Do you trust that they know what they are talking about? What evidence did they provide to show they are an expert in this topic?

• You can use also reliable videos and podcasts. For example, you may want to watch PBS, BBC, or Crash Course videos related to your topic

Keyword Searching in the LHS Library Catalog & Databases

Keywords will help you when searching the library catalog, a database, or the Internet. Use the chart to think of some words or terms that relate to your research question. Start with the terms in the question, and then think about related words or terms that might help you broaden or narrow your search. As you read more about the topic, add to your list.

Example: Main Topic: Julius Caesar

Who/What Julius Caesar Mark Antony CleopatraWhen? 60-44 BCE First Century BCE Late Republic EraWhere? Rome Roman Republic EgyptOther Words/Terms

Electronic Note Cards Using

NoodleTools

You should only write down notes related to the title of the note card

Helpful Hints: The Title field will only let you use the same title once. If you want to use the same

title for multiple sources, reword the title. For example: Improving Infrastructure, Better Roads and Bridges

The My Ideas box (scroll down on the note cards to find it) is where you can record ideas, ask questions, brainstorm and/or comment on your notes

It’s OK if some note cards have lots of information and some have very little Don’t forget to save your work! Also be sure NoodleTools is open in only one

window or tab to ensure your work is saved

Title should categorize the information should indicate initial analysis can include a PERSIA GEM word (ie, Economic Disaster) can be a question or a phrase Can

Use this box to copy/paste or write word for word from the text

Use this box to take bulleted notes in your own words; this box should be completed on every note

card, including note cards with direct quotations

Use this tool to bullet the information you are taking notes on

After you save your note cards, create piles on the Note Card Table. The piles should be organized by ideas that may include PERSIA GEM terms (not by source). The names of the piles can help you identify ideas for your paragraphs.

Guide to Annotating SourcesSource: Purdue OWL (On-Line Writing Lab) http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/614/01/

An annotated bibliography is a list of citations for books, articles, and audio-visual material used to research a topic. In addition to the usual information found on a Works Cited page (author, title, publisher, etc), an annotated bibliography also includes 3-4 sentences or an annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy and quality of the sources cited.

Provide the Source Information Use NoodeTools to enter author, title, publishing information Be sure to select MLA Junior

Write the Annotation This should be done on NoodleTools; look for the “annotation” box

Summarize: If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say? What are the main arguments? What is the point of this book or article? What topics are covered? This part of annotation should be brief!

Evaluate: Is it a useful source? How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography? How does this source fit into your research? How was this source helpful to you? If it’s an on-line source that is not a database, how do you know the information is reliable? Is this source biased or objective? What is the goal of this source? Has it changed how you think about your topic?

Remember, the questions above are a guide. You do not have to answer every question.

Annotations should be 3-4 sentences in length.

Format the Works Cited page Use NoodleTools; it will format for you! Export to MS Word before you print Annotations should follow directly after the other source information Double space entries Use hanging indentation (First line starts at the left margin, and the lines that follow are

indented 4 spaces.) Avoid using 1st or 2nd person (I, me, you) when writing an annotation

Sample:Allen, Arthur. Vaccines: The Controversial Story of Medicine’s Greatest Lifesaver. New York: W.W.

Norton, 1959. Print. Arthur Allen, a journalist, provides a comprehensive overview of the history of and resistance towards vaccines, focusing on the United States. This book was useful for understanding the social factors that inhibited the acceptance of vaccines as well as the factors that ultimately led to their success. The author provided quotations and statistics that were helpful for identifying primary sources.

Opening move:engage the reader, but…beware exaggeration, dopey starts, general cheesiness

Historical contextprovide some background about the time period, people, place, events of your topic

Thesis statementaddress the critic (although…, despite….)state your central idea (use the language of the question)identify your 2 organizing ideas that will link the body paragraphs (because…..)

Organizing Ideasthese ideas can be part of the thesis or the sentence immediately following the thesis

Body Paragraphs Claim

connect to the organizing idea or thesisthis should be an idea-driven statement; not a fact

Evidenceprovide strong evidence to support the claimuse at least 2 pieces of evidence for each body paragraph

Analysisanalyze the evidence by explaining how the evidence supports your claimanswer the “so what?” question, why does this evidence matter?

Link/So What?connect back to the paragraph’s claimuse the organizing idea to transition to the next body paragraph

Format of each body paragraph Claim Evidence #1 Analysis #1 Evidence #2 Analysis #2 Wrap Up/Transition

You should have 4 body paragraphs with a total of 3-5 in-text citations

Concluding Paragraph Remind the reader of your thesis, but do not restate your thesis word for word…that’s boring! Provide a reflective sense of closure

explain the larger significance of the topic; explain why the topic mattersconnect this topic to what happened next in history or to a contemporary issue

Grammar and Conventions Do not ask questions in the paper; it’s your job to answer questions, not ask them Do not use exclamation points! Do not use 1st and 2nd person pronouns (I, me, my, we, our, you, your) Avoid at all costs words that are a waste of good ink

in the next paragraph…., this essay will show…., stuff, nice, big deal… YUCK!!

Getting Ready to Write: Choose an OrganizerBefore you begin to write, you must figure out what you are going to say. There are many ways to get your ideas organized. You must choose one of the following methods.

Body Paragraph OrganizerThis is the organizer we’ve been using in history this year. If the boxes have been working for you, stick with it. In addition to the copy in this packet, a copy is posted on the homework page if you prefer to type your info into the organizer.

Body Paragraph Graphic OrganizerThis is pretty similar to the organizer we’ve used before but is in portrait format instead of landscape.

Body Paragraph OutlineThis is a more traditional way of organizing information. Some people like being able to line up the paragraphs almost exactly they way they will be written. This is also included in this packet, but you should feel free to type up your outline if that’s more helpful.

NoodleTools Outline ToolThis is similar to the outline in this packet, but gives you the ability to link directly to your note cards on NoodleTools.

On the right side of the Note Card Table is a window titled OutlineYou can drag note cards into the outline or type directly into itUse the Body Paragraphs Outline in this packet as a model

Inspiration, Webspiration, SpiderScribe, or any other on-line brainstorming toolMost LHS computers have Inspiration software; similar tools are available on-line. This is a good tool if you like making webs or mind-maps. This tends to work best for people who are visual, instead of linear, in their thinking.

Developing The ArgumentStep 1: Write your thesis

Acknowledge the Critic

Provide Another Point of View“Although” “Despite” describe

contradiction

Central Argument

your decision…use the language of your question

Because…

this is a general statement explaining how you’ll support the

thesis

Write out your thesis statement as a formal sentence:

______________________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________

Step 2: Does the thesis describe the 2 organizing ideas that connect the body paragraphs?

Revise the thesis or write a second sentence that describes the organizing ideas that connect the body paragraphs.

____________________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________

Step 3: Put it all together. Combine your thesis statement with your organizing idea statement – Check for flow and clarity

Step 4: Go to NoodleTools. Click on Dashboard. Write your thesis statement in the box.

CitationsYou are required to have 3-5 in-text citations in your paper. At least 2 of these should be well-chosen direct quotations. You should cite information for a variety of reasons including:

to avoid plagiarism to give credit to other historians for an idea or argument that is not yours to identify the source of uncommon information to explain the source of statistics and specific data

Direct Quotations Direct quotations are used when:

--Quoting from a primary source because your claim is based on the specific words used by people from the time period--Using a specific interpretation or analysis unique to the historian you read--Using an especially memorable or compelling phrase from a source

Direct quotes are always put inside quotation marks At least two direct quotes are required for this project

Paraphrased Statements A paraphrased statement is your own version of information and ideas expressed by someone else. Paraphrased information should be cited when:

using evidence that includes highly specific details such as statistics, a particularly detailed description of people, places or events

using evidence that differs from information you read in other sources when you use the paraphrased information, you do not need quotation marks

Formatting Citations in Your PaperTo find the proper format for a citation, go to the Bibliography page on NoodleTools, find the source you’re citing, click on the In Text Reference button on the right. (This feature will not work if you copy and paste source information into NoodleTools.) In general, you should follow these models:

one author Identify author and page # (Jones 23)multiple authors List authors’ names and page # (Smith, Yang, and Bird 76)no known author Use shortened title of work (“The Reign of Qin” 44)

put title in quotation markson-line sources Use first item in Works Cited entry (“Empires of Faith”)

could be author, page name, website nameno page number is needed

If the citation is at the end of a sentence, the period is placed outside of the parentheses. If the citation is in the middle of a sentence, you do not need a period.

Embed Your QuotationsIntroduce the quotation by providing context or hinting at its importance so readers know what to look for. After the quotation, explain its significance: One of his advisors said Shi Huangdi had “the heart of a tiger or a wolf” (Paludan 16). Even the people who worked closely with Shi Huangdi saw him as a violent person who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.
