●      MLA forma

●      Submit to Canvas

●      Separate your answers by numbers, not essay style

●      Worth 50 points

Overview: By now you’ve reached the last three steps in the research process: Interpret, Report, Repeat. These final steps are designed for you to share information as well as interpret your sources and answer your research question.

Assignment: Answer the following questions in a thoughtful and academic way. ONLY THIRD person point of view ( do not use me, my, we, us, I, you, your…). Please develop your ideas and use complete sentences.

Questions:

Question #1: (2 points) State your research question again. Example: Does social media cause depression in American teens?

Question #2: (3 points) List the titles and authors of the sources you gathered to answer and support the above question. * Remember you needed FIVE sources in total from the MPC library databases ( use Lecture #9 and Assignment #6 for help). You need 3 primary and 2 secondary sources.

Question #3: (5 points) Make a finalized thesis statement after you have carried out your research. Make sure your thesis is ONE unified statement with indicator words that separate the claim, reason, and concluding ideas. Student example: Social media does cause depression among American teens because it gives them a false sense of reality; therefore, American teens need activities that challenge their intellect and teach them about who they are as a person.

Question #4: (5 points) List with bullet points the main points/statements that you want to prove or illustrate about your topic. Please use complete sentences.

Student example using the above research question:

●      Social media use changes and impacts the teenage brain

●      American teens admit to feeling self conscious after using social media

●      3 in 5 teens admit to being bullied over social media

●      There is pressure on teens to fake who they are on social media

●      Parents do not know enough about social media to help their kids navigate it

Question #5: (20points) In one full college paragraph (7-15 sentences) write about what you concluded from your research. Did you prove your initial research question true or false? What perspectives did you gain? What did you find out? What was the result after you read your sources? Please only write in third person ( do not you me, my, we, us, I, you, your…)

Question #6: (15 points) Please attach a properly formatted works cited page that lists your five sources in alphabetical order. A work cited page has very specific guidelines so you must use the following sources to make sure you get it correct. Cutting and pasting from the database will not work because the databases are NOT in MLA format.
