presentation,

Submit your midterm project here.  It could be a paper, a visual
presentation, a performance of a monologue, a design project for a
specific published play–costumes, scenery, lighting, or sound, a short
play you write, a directing project, an architectural design for a
theatre . . . Use your imagination!  All projects require a minimum of a
one-page statement of purpose plus a formal bibliography OR a research
paper of 5-8 pages plus a formal bibliography OR a slide presentation of
18-24 slides plus slides that provide a formal bibliography.  Your
bibliography does not need to be annotated but should include at least 6
substantial sources (besides encyclopedia or wiki). Your project will
be presented in class and that presentation is part of your grade,
whether you are performing, showing your project or slides, or giving a
summary of your research paper.

The main purpose of the research paper is to learn how to find basic background

The main purpose of the research paper is to learn how to find basic background information on a topic. Finding general background information is an essential step in writing a research paper, which will have a more focused subject than the three essays you previously wrote for this class. You are required to supplement your original observations about your topic with at least 3 credible secondary sources. This paper should incorporate writing techniques and modes you learned throughout the semester. The paper will be graded on both quality of information and writing ability (coherence, style, organizations, depth of insight). Your audience consists of your fellow students. You are writing to them in order to project your point of view on a specific topic and inform them of the facts surrounding your reasons why you are for or against something. Remember, don’t assume everyone will know what you’re writing about, so be sure to include 3 points of comparison (use examples, compare and contrast, cause and effect) and provide a clear explanation of the subject. For citing quotations in your paragraphs, keep them to a length of 3 sentences maximum. Any more than that and it will look like you are using other people’s words to write your paper. Also, remember to include an in-text citation behind all quotes, paraphrases, and summaries that correspond to the Works Cited page you include behind your paper.
Your paper should begin with an introduction that tells your reader what your topic is and what side of the issue you’re on. You should orient the reader with your topic with a clear, solid description and refrain from stating your personal perspective in the 1st person. Your conclusion should not repeat what you have said in the introduction, but should tie up loose ends and explain why you will continue to support this issue the way you do now. The paper should include a descriptive title that tells the reader what the essay is about. This paper should also include a Works Cited page in the correct format. Please refer to your textbooks or Purdue Owl for information on how to format this page. Your essay should also include a descriptive title that tells the reader what the esssay. Need 1000 words.

The student will write a 5-7 page persuasive essay that demonstrates the ability

The student will write a 5-7 page persuasive essay that demonstrates the ability to do the following: 1. Organize and support a valid argument 2. Define essential terms 3. Support and qualify all generalizations 4. Answer probable objections without resorting to distortion. 
The purpose of this essay is to develop an original argument about “Soldier’s Home” Hemingway  that can successfully persuade the reader towards a less than obvious thesis that requires persuasion. It is presumed that the argument is not one discussed in class and is not simply a plot summary, but a less than obvious take on a character or some aspect of the literary technique. The goal is to persuade the reader that the thesis has been proven. For example, it’s possible to persuade that: Although she is arguably a murderer and necrophiliac, Miss Emily possesses characteristics of the tragic hero. You will want to locate literary criticism that both supports and contradicts your thesis. 
MLA Source Citation: This assignment requires at least one primary source and secondary sources from literary critics to be cited in MLA style. 
MLA Quotation Citations: This assignment requires use of both primary and secondary quotations to be cited in MLA style.

In this assignment, you’ll introduce the question or problem  you want to resear

In this assignment, you’ll introduce the question or problem  you want to research this semester,  providing context and making the case for why this inquiry is important.  
I want to research on Internalized Racism within the Asian community. Stereoptypes like “Asias are always good at math” can harm individuals who do not fit, leading into depression. Eg: suicide in south korea and japan, or asian beauty standards
Hate from other Asian countries, Eg; East Asians discrimintating against SEAs due to them being “poorer”
High Pressure + HIgh anxiety, is a problem 
Writing the Memo
The purpose of this research project is to pose a question or problem (or a series of questions or problems), to engage the question or problem through sustained inquiry, and to develop a case for why this study matters, to whom it matters, and, if applicable, what action steps should be taken for this work to make a material difference in the world, whether by changing hearts and minds (persuasively, compelling agreement or achieving consensus) or by expressing a realistic action plan. To be successful and effective, the sustained research project should remind readers that it has a handle on the “So what?” question. I.e., Your inquiry memo should lead you to find a solution/recommendation to an issue/problem you narrowly identify in your memo.
You could think of this as a research project whose goal is to argue for something, although if you do so, it will be very important to differentiate between pro-con, debate-style argumentation and forms of argument that are more cooperative.  This work should take its focus from our course theme or from the general set of issues we have turned our attention to as a class. In this inquiry memo, then, you will  propose the idea and/or plan that you will discuss in your research paper, including any preliminary research you will need to inquire into this issue.
In your inquiry memo, be careful to address foundational rhetorical  considerations of audience and purpose.
Audience—Effective proposals discuss openly who the audience is for the sustained research project. This is challenging, because you also have an audience for this memo–the more local, immediate audience of your professor and your peers. As you write, consider: what will the audience’s attitudes be? How much do they know about the issue? How much do they need to know? Keep in mind that as you describe your project, make sure you define key terms, develop in detail any references to specialized language (e.g., a term or phrase used in one field but not well understood in another field), emphasize the need and benefits of your question or problem, and explain why you are choosing the question(s) or problem(s) that you are. 
Purpose—In reviewing your memo, I want to make sure that you’ve designed a project that is viable and valuable and that you can complete it successfully in the time requested. I also need to decide what, if any, help I need to provide to insure the project’s success.
As a result, your memo needs to persuade me that
your topic is important enough to justify a research project
you can benefit from the research project in the context of this course
your topic is broad enough to justify creating a research project
your topic is narrow enough to allow you to research it in-depth in the time allotted (i.e. you haven’t taken on too much)
you have a clear plan for accomplishing your research and producing a well-developed project
Required Sections
Introduction
What topic do you want to explore for the final research project?
What about that topic interests you?
Why would this topic matter to people beyond yourself? (think rhetorically here, about your audience for the final research paper)
Is there any background information you might need to include?
Research Question(s)
What question(s) will guide your research? Question(s) should strive to be specific and clear; eventually, as you work, answers to your question(s) will  thesis-like in your final research project. 
Resources and Research Method
How will you gather information, both primary and secondary, to help others understand your position?
As you consider possible primary and secondary sources, for primary sources, you should locate “experts” in your research areas; include these experts’ contact information and explain why each expert would be an appropriate source of information for your research paper.
For secondary sources, locate and present sources you are thinking of using: newspaper articles, research-based journal or magazine articles, websites, books, etc. I would use the databases available at our library (which are available online mostly via Discovery Search), and make sure your sources are all scholarly and relevant to your work. 
For this memo, just be thinking about what sources they will be, and explain briefly how the sources you’ve found might contribute to the research paper. You do not need to have found research at this point; this is what we will begin to do for our second major assignment.
Conclusion
Reiterate the main goals of your research project and the main points of your memo. The authorization, when granted, gives you permission to do the work and establishes the contractual agreement (i.e. you need to ask for my approval of your proposed topic).
Requirements
Your memo will be 3-4 pages, double-spaced, in a 12 -point Times New Roman typeface, with one-inch margins, in a professional memo format.

I have attached the Annotated Bibliography set up. I haven’t been in school in a long time so all this is new to me. Next week I’ll have the Bibliography Final Draft that’s due. I don’t know what to write about. She said to use the four sources that’s where you see the Ebook and the other sources. Title displays the research topic correctly.
-1. Working thesis provides a clear problem and feasible solution for the research paper.
2. MLA format is set up correctly for the developing AB and each source provides a correct works cited entry.
3. At least four sources provided form the source requirements list.
