Problem
Students will do a research paper on Mentoring. Students will research mentoring and provide a 5-page paper. The research paper will include an Abstract and annotated bibliography, which will not count toward the five pages.
The Research Paper: Students conduct the research:
1) annotated bibliography (Mentoring)
2) outline of paper
3) thesis statement
4) opening paragraph and summary
5) present research findings
Task
1) What is the research problem or question you intend to address?
2) Why is it an interesting question? Why is it problematic?
3) Why is it significant?
Research log
It would be best if you kept a research log - either on paper or digitized - to jot down thoughts about your topic, lists of things to do, and ideas about possible sources; also, use it to keep track of library materials. You can also use the log to analyze and develop your research process. What things worked? What didn't work? How will you do things differently next time?
