Students will work on the research portfolio through modules 3, 4, and 5 to focus on and explore a particular topic. By completing the worksheets, students will become familiar with various resources related to the topic. The research portfolio also serves as the foundation for writing the research paper.
For this module, complete the following research portfolio steps:
Step 6: Compiling an Annotated Bibliography
Step 7: Summarizing Sources
Complete and submit the worksheets as directed by the instructor.

One way to learn a new kind of writing is to look at some examples and consider

One way to learn a new kind of writing is to look at some examples and consider what they have in common and what they do differently. Just as we saw with emails, memos, and text messages in the first project, you can begin to understand all the different choices you might make when you engage in a new form of writing through some basic genre analysis.
Skim the following proposals (you don’t need to read the entire document), making note of their similarities and differences:
Willowick Community Park Proposal (PDF) Download Willowick Community Park Proposal (PDF) 
Making Lafayette a Refuge Proposal (PDF)Download Making Lafayette a Refuge Proposal (PDF)
Even though proposals are a very common form of writing, each organization might have its own expectations for what information a proposal contains or how it presents that information. In fact, each proposal an organization writes might look and sound different depending on the work that needs to be done and who will be reading the document.
So, when we say the words “proposal” or “report,” we’re usually referring to very broad categories of documents that might only share a few important similarities. Two pieces of information usually included in a proposal are the problem being solved and details about the proposed solution. But while those two types of information are always present in some form, there might be big differences in where that information is presented and how much detail the writer provides. To further explore this kind of writing, you’ll be analyzing two examples of recent real-world proposals and make some simple comparisons.
Submission (Canvas)
Write a brief analysis of the two proposals linked above, focusing on the following points. Please number your responses:
Purpose: What problem(s) is each document discussing and what work does the proposal say is needed to address that problem? A well-written report will generally make its purpose clear fairly early in the document.
Audience: Who was each document written for? The audience for a proposal usually includes the people who can do something about the issue it raises, but there are often many other audiences who might need to know about or approve of the work being asked for.
Data: What kinds of numerical or statistical data is presented to help each proposal make its points?
Visual Elements: What roles do things like charts, images, and color play in each document?
Contrast: What’s the biggest difference you noticed between the two documents? Why do you think the documents are different in that way?

Research Paper 1: Due Week 5 (Sunday, May 26 at 5:00 pm EST)
Below, I have provided 2 articles you will use as sources for Research Paper #1. The sources you have used for your annotated bibliography should be utilized for this paper.
Please view the sample paper to know what to submit for Research Paper #1. 
For this research paper, you will provide a 2-3 page research paper not including title and reference page) about the Impacts of COVID-19 on College Students.
Times New Roman 
12 Size Font 
1-inch margins 
Double Space 
Parts included in the APA format research paper are as follows:
Page 1: Title Page
Page 2-3: Research Paper 
Your research paper should include these parts:
Introduction: Your introductory material should set up your topic (Topic: Effects of COVID-19 on College Students) for your audience and include some background or historical context. You may also briefly summarize your research and topic findings. Your introduction may be 1 or 2 paragraphs in length. The introduction needs to state your thesis in the form of a sentence. It should not be in the form of a question. Your thesis should be a brief statement, in your own words, that points out the significant issues about this topic that you discovered in your research. 
Body of Paper: Use subheadings (if needed) to separate aspects of your paper that support your thesis. The body of your paper should provide supporting evidence to support your thesis in a logical, fully developed manner. For each new topic that supports your overall thesis, provide a topic sentence or two that, in effect, is the thesis for that sub-topic. If you do not use subheadings, you must provide transition sentences to move your reader from one paragraph to the next. Your supporting sub-topics should address these issues: What is the significant impact of these research and topic findings? What are the effects (if any)? What are the benefits (if any)? Are there any disadvantages or advantages? These are just some questions you can answer in your paper, but feel free to add more questions that you can answer. As a research paper writer, you should synthesize the information gained from sources and weave it into a well-ordered paper, using the sources as evidence to support key points. These are how your direct quotes (In-text citations) come into your paper.
Conclusion: Your conclusion should make “wrap-up” statements about what you learned about the topic and your findings’ possible impact on people and society. Also, address any issues that may still not be resolved for you. Don’t be reluctant to address problems that aren’t quickly resolved or have negative or ambiguous outcomes. I look forward to a thoughtful look at the topic and sharing the major significance of this issue.
Your research paper must include three direct quotes (in-text citations)—a quote from each source. Please view the Week 5 folder for in-text citations and the APA folder for more information on in-text citations. 
Page 3 or 4: Reference Page 
The final page of your research paper is your reference page. This page has all the sources you USED to write your research paper. Each source should be placed as an APA citation and in alphabetical order by the first letter of the citation. Please view the APA folder and sample research paper to understand what should be submitted for your reference page. 
Sources
Three sources in total (You may add more if you choose, but each source you use must contain an in-text citation in the body of the paper. You should have a minimum of 3 in-text citations, one from each source you use. You can use multiple in-text citations from one source, but remember each source should have at least one in-text citation.) 
Provide 3 articles ( Two that I have provided and One on your own) from a database or credible internet sources.
You may use the sources from your annotated bibliography. 
Required: at least three direct quotes/paraphrases/summarizations, one from each source.

Project 1— Read Annotated Bibliography Assignment Information
You must create four (4) annotated bibliography entries formatted into an alphabetized list as a single document. 
Your references/resources must come from four different genres: a newspaper, a peer reviewed professional or academic journal, a popular publication (such as Time, The Atlantic, etc.), and a U.S. government publication (maybe a census report, a white paper, an online report, factual information–go to .gov for help and see our course lib guides).
Be prepared to spend a great deal of time looking for references/resources. You may download and use this worksheet
Actions
to help you collect the details necessary to create the citations and to help you write the annotations. You do not turn in the worksheet, but use it for your own purposes. Also pay attention to the following:
Line spacing and indentation matters
For the citation, punctuation, italics, and MLA requirements for information inclusion matters.
Alphabetize the list by first information in the citation 
The 4 sources must include 2 found through ASU’s library databases and 2 sources found either through ASU libraries or through other search practices
one academic periodical found through ASU’s library databases
one non-academic periodical (like a newspaper) found through ASU’s library databases
one video or other filmic medium (a short or full length documentary would work)
one online publication (Like a blog or other website; Wikipedia or other wikis are NOT ALLOWED)
Each annotated bibliography entry is constructed in two parts: the citation and the annotation. See our textbook reading on pages and our course Annotated Bibliography FAQs for more details.
Document style is MLA formatted for Annotated Bibliography, which includes an information identification left header and a document title.
The document title (center alignment) should include the words Annotated Bibliography: [followed by the semester topic]. For example: Annotated Bibliography: Insufficient Hourly Parking at ASU. 
The following should appear under the title (left alignment): A working thesis statement for Project 2, the report and another working thesis statement for Project 3, the propose solution argument. See student sample P1 draft.
