SECTION 2: RESEARCH :
1. In the second section, discuss what you did to find out more information on your topic.
Write an introduction (each section should stand alone as a paper).
Tell the reader where you looked, who you talked to, and what you did to research this topic.
For each piece of research information you gather you will use a “Quote Sandwich:”
Introduce the source of the information.
Give the information you found by quoting or paraphrasing it.
Cite the source using parenthetical documentation according to MLA 8th ed. guidelines.
Explain how that information contributes to your understanding of the topic.
Make sure you tie your research, as a whole, into your topic. Discuss how the research illuminates, explains, or adds-to your knowledge of your future career.
2. At least 5+ paragraphs, 900+ words, three rhetorical images in the body, 5+ reflective comments as footnotes
In the second section, discuss what you did to find out more information on your topic. Think of it as writing a process essay that follows several steps, e.g. first I researched the databases, then I talked to professionals, etc. Each step will be supported with specific evidence you have found through your research.
Begin each paragraph by telling the reader HOW you researched your topic.
Then, report what you have found through this research step. Use specific evidence to illustrate your research findings.
Use the Quote Sandwich for each piece of research information you gather:
• Introduce the source of the information.
• Give the information you found by quoting or paraphrasing it.
• Cite the source using parenthetical documentation according to MLA 8th ed. guidelines.
• Explain how that information contributes to your understanding of the topic.
Make sure you tie your research, as a whole, into your topic. Discuss how the research illuminates, explains, or adds-to your knowledge of your future career.
