Research Project Career Exploration Portfolio

Project Information Topic: Career that interests you Must be specific (anesthesiologist, not doctor) Must be chosen by May 12, 2014 Creation of a Research Portfolio Comprised of 4 smaller projects

Materials Needed Folder or small binder Ziploc bag At least 20 index cards Due by May 12 See me you cannot get these items Grade will be 100% or 0%

Research Project Class and Library Days 5/12 – 5/16 Laptop 5/19 – 5/23 Project Work Days

Due Dates All due dates are at the end of the period unless otherwise noted: 5/12 – All materials due 5/13 – All sources due 5/14 – Bibliography due 5/16 – All notes due (from this day forward, you should not need to use a computer, just your notes) 5/21– First two genre projects 5/23 – Third genre project 5/28 – Everything due (table of contents, organized source cards, evaluation of genre paragraphs)

Format for Source Cards Sources = Where You Get Your Information (books, online publications, encyclopedias, magazine articles, etc.)

All source cards must look the same. Use a 3 x 5 lined index card. In the top right-hand corner, put a letter of the alphabet (a different letter for each source you use, beginning with A) on the red line. Begin writing on the first blue line of the card. The first line begins at the far left on the card. Each additional line is indented approx. ½ inch.

Here is a sample source card for a book with one author. A Miller, Mary. Coping with Parents. New York: Rosen, Print

Here is a sample source card for a book with two authors: B Ashby, Eric, and Mary Anderson. The Rise of the Student Estate in Britain. Cambridge: Harvard UP, Print.

Sample of Online Entry F Quade, Alex. “Elite Team Rescues Troops Behind Enemy Lines.” CNN.com. Cable News Network, 19 Mar Web. 15 May

Special circumstances: If no author or editor is given, begin with the title of the book. If several cities of publication are provided, use only the first one listed. If no city is listed, use N.p. If no publishing company is given, use n.p. If several copyright dates are listed, use the most recent one. If no date is listed, use n.d. If the work is published outside of the United States, use city and country of publication (London, England:).

Needed information is not always available, so you have to use what is available. NC WiseOwl is a good database to help you locate valid sources; the password is wiseowl. Consider the validity of sources that list no author or publishing information A couple of reminders about online sources...

Format for Notes Correctly formatting your note cards and carefully taking notes will make the research paper a much easier task.

Taking Notes Once you have examined your sources and determined their usefulness, you are ready to begin taking notes from them. Certain information is required on ALL note cards. Notes may be taken in a variety of formats: complete sentences, lists, fragments, or a combination of these. Material copied directly from the text should ALWAYS be placed in quotation marks and immediately cited. Ex – “Plagiarism sometimes happens because researchers do not keep precise records...” (Modern Language Association 55).

Top, right: Card letter and number Example: A4 The card is from the first source and is the fourth note card taken. A1 = first source and first note card. C6 = third source and sixth note card

You will complete one genre for each of the following subtopics: Education/Background Job description/responsibilities Job Outlook Notable figures in the field You may research “Related Careers” if you cannot find any notable figures in your field Top, middle: Subtopic

Also known as heading Single word or phrase to indicate what the notes on the card are about. Multiple subtopics should be found in sources. In other words, you SHOULD NOT have all notes about Education from source A, all notes about Job Description from source B, etc... AT LEAST 5 note cards for each subtopic (HAG = 20 note cards) Top, middle: Subtopic

Sample Note Card #1 A4 Background

Sample Note Card #2 B5 Requirements

Tips for taking notes Write only one main point on a note card Write only essential words and info, abbreviate when possible. Be accurate: double check direct quotes and statistics. Identify direct quotes with quotation marks and the person's name. Bracket your own words [ ] when you add them into a quote. Distinguish between 'fact' and 'opinion'. Write the page number of the source after the note.
