Q RESEARCH PAPER & PRESENTATION This assignment consists of two components: a research paper and an accompanying class presentation. You will work in small groups (4-5) and each student will be responsible for specific aspects of the project. I will post the groups in the announcement section, and then it is your responsibility to email each other here on CANVAS and begin communicating as a group. Each individual student will submit the paper here on CANVAS (the same paper as the other group members). Together, create a timeline for the following process: 1. Brainstorming – generating ideas, selecting a topic, finding sources 2. Writing a draft & assessing your own writing 3. Editing & proofreading 3. Planning a 10 minute presentation on the topic. You may use video clips, powerpoint, skits, music, poetry, etc. Be creative, be professional, be well prepared and well informed. ESSAY: Argument Research Paper Create an argument paper in alignment with the video or in-class presentation on a controversial topic of interest. You can choose any issue — just be sure it is something you are passionate about and genuinely interested in. Your topic should be: controversial (at least two possible sides), arguable (not just a matter of taste or preference), and clearly defined. State your thesis clearly, and provide ample facts, data and examples to prove your thesis. Remember, your audience is your class members and it must be informative and interesting to them. Requirements: 4-5 pages double spaced in Times New Roman font size 12. Include a cover page with group member names, date, and essay title. Include a WORKS CITED page listing sources.
