The Research Question
You must develop a highly focused research question. A major portion of your grade on this project will be determined by how well you develop a manageable, researchable, and interesting question.
Your question must be directly related to Google in some way.
The Complete Final Project (Due December 12)
Your final project must include these four things:
1. Your research question
2. An annotated bibliographyof at least 15 sources. Citations should be done in MLA style. Each annotation will use complete, grammatically correct sentences and MUST include:
- identification of what type of source it is (newspaper article, magazine article, peer-reviewed journal article, other journal article, book, book chapter, encyclopedia entry, etc.)
- review of the main points of the source
- defense of how this source is directly relevant to your research question (the more you can explain the connections between the source and your question, the better)
- explanation of how authoritative this source is (tell me briefly what you know about the author)
- thoughts about how you would use this source (background? exhibit? argument? method?); it is OK if you see using a source in a couple of different ways.
Your bibliography must include
- At least three books
- At least three peer-reviewed journal articles
- At least three newspaper or magazine articles
- At least one entry from a reference encyclopedia
3.
A concept map (hand drawn is OK or you can use
bubbl.us) of your topic
4. A chart listing all the information producersyou can think of
