Instruction
Submit the rough draft of your Bibliographic Essay with your references page in Discussion 1. Then by the end of the week, provide feedback to two peers in response to their rough drafts including commenting on their references pages.
In Week 2, you decided on your topic for your final essay, and you located eight credible sources and presented your evaluation of those sources in a short essay in which you convinced your readers that your sources are indeed credible. In Week 3 you will present what your sources have to say in relation to your topic in a short bibliographic essay.
Start by rereading the information presented by your sources and taking notes following the methods outlined in the lectures on note-taking in Weeks 2 and 3. As you take notes, also work to capture important ideas and words from your sources using the techniques of quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing as shared in the lecture this week on that subject. For each source, represent the main point the author is making in the article, being sure to use quotation marks for exact words and to note the position of the cited passage by taking down the page or paragraph number which you will use in your in-text citation. Once you feel that you have a good idea of the information presented by each of your sources, try to organize the information you have gleaned from them in a logical way. You can start by putting all notes with similar points of view in groups together. Notice what your sources share in common and what makes them different from one another.
At this time, you should be able to create a thesis statement for this short essay that will share with your readers the broad scope of the contents of the articles you have located through your research work. However, at this point, you still will not present your point of view on your topic. The work of this essay is simply to present the information that you have found from the various sources. Your thesis statement might say something like this if you were writing on school voucher programs: Research shows divergent opinions on the effectiveness of school voucher programs; and these differences seem to rest on issues of funding, representation of parents on school boards within school districts, and location of the schools in urban, suburban, or rural areas. Within this example, we can see that the divisions of opinion can be used as categories which suggest a potential organizational strategy for the bibliographic essay that you will submit this week.
As you compose your essay, be conscious about its organization and make sure to represent accurately the main points of information you have gotten from each source. You must present to your readers the information which you will use to inform your research work for the final project, including information from eight sources. Be sure to use accurate in-text citations and to include a references page. You can start with the materials that were corrected in Week 2 and make further refinements to ensure that your references page is perfect according to APA style. Also, be sure to conclude your essay with a paragraph which sums up your bibliographic essay and indicates your readiness to proceed to the next step in the research process.
post the rough draft of your short bibliographic essay including a complete references page in Discussion 1. By the end of the week respond to the rough drafts of your peers using the criteria below:
Evaluate the thesis statement: note whether the authors thesis and overall representation of these particular articles are clearly stated. Make suggestions to help with the wording if you think it will help the authors clarity.
Share any concerns you have about the accuracy of the authors sources. You can also suggest other sources that would help the author to have the most comprehensive understanding of his or her particular topic.
Note whether the organization of the essay is effective. Suggest an alternate organizational strategy if you think one is needed or would be useful.
Note whether this short essay convinces you that the author has located sufficient materials to be knowledgeable about his or her topic for the final essay and, therefore, is ready to proceed to taking a stand on the issue, which is our next step in the research process.
Offer corrections to errors in in-text citations and references. We want to have a discussion about how to correctly format citations and references so that this aspect of writing is also made clear in the process of writing.

Be sure to respond to two classmates with the peer feedback list/form, and two others in a dialogical form where you just add comments but do not have to fill out the aforementioned feedback form, that is if you want the full points for responding to 4 people.
Please keep the participation days in mind when doing this one.
THIS SHOULD BE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PAPER FROM LAST WEEK. THIS MEANS YOU WOULDN'T USE LAST WEEK'S PAPER AND JUST CHANGE THE BODY AROUND. IT'S A SIMILAR PAPER IN REGARDS TO WRITING A SUMMARY OF EACH SOURCE AND OF COURSE YOU CAN USE THE SAME SOURCES BUT DO NOT USE THE SAME PAPER AS LAST WEEK WITH JUST A FEW WORDS CHANGED AROUND.
Please keep the participation days in mind when doing this one.
Again folks, be sure to follow these guidelines each week. :)
1. This essay would be 6 paragraphs of roughly 8-10 sentences per paragraph (to meet the 400-500 word count), using Times New Roman font at 12, typed in Word, attached in Word. DO NOT TYPE THEM IN THE THREADS.
2. Indent 5-7 spaces at the beginning of each paragraph.
3. Any borrowed work (in body of essays only) should be in the form of direct/indirect quotes only, 1 per body paragraph per source only (no quotes in the intro or conclusion:) if you decide to quote.
4. All papers should be double spaced, including between paragraphs.
5. There should be a good working title on the title which summarizes your topic, all major words capitalized, along with a running header. Be as creative as possible but make sure your title is a good indicator of your subject.
6. There should be no `your` or `we` or `us` or `I` used here nor should there by any type of storytelling with personal references, questions to the reader or any conversation with the reader. Write objectively and impersonal, not subjectively and personal
7. Proper reference and title pages are required (quotes from each source are needed).
TIPS FOR STRUCTURING THE PAPER

Working with your notes, create an outline to share the structure of your final paper. Using that outline, prepare a PowerPoint presentation of your final essay. By Saturday, June 8, 2013, submit the PowerPoint slides of your final paper to the Discussion Area. By the end of the week, respond to the rough drafts of two of your peers, using the criteria in the Evaluation Criteria for Preliminary PowerPoint checklist that you used to guide you in designing your own slides.
To start, make an outline of your paper, using the thesis statement for the first paragraph and including one sentence for each paragraph of the body of your paper. Include one sentence for your conclusion as well. Here is a model to help you design the working outline of your slides.

Conclusion
For additional information and a complete breakdown about outlines and their formats, review your textbook and this week's lecture about planning the research essay, creating an outline, and writing the paper.
Working from your outline, create a presentation of your final paper on a series of slides. Use the Evaluation Criteria for Preliminary PowerPoint checklist as a guideline in creating your slides. You will also use this checklist to provide feedback to your peers on their slides.
When you complete your presentation, post it as an attachment to the Discussion Area below for critique by your peers. You should comment on the slides presented by at least two of your classmates by the end of the week.
Below is a sample diagram or how a standard outline for a paper should look, and how your your PPL outline should look, or a rough idea. I'm pretty fair here so just keep things nice and simple with an INTRO, BODY AND CONCLUSION WITH TWO SUPPORTING EXAMPLES PER MAIN POINT in the body, as shown in BOTH THE OUTLINE AND PPL SAMPLE. Use Power Point as the subject heading. The feedback can be done in paragraph form, without cutting or pasting a criteria list. I attached an outline so show you what one looks like. It's not part of the assignment so do not attach one. The assignent is just the PPL. The outline is to help you organize your ideas. :).
