The purpose for producing a research paper was to prepare students for college and to develop writing skills in general. The given task of the research paper was to be given a genocide from the past and to conduct a well put together paper. During the project an outline, annotated bibliography, smooth draft and final draft all have to be produce. This was an independent writing assignment which meant that class time is given to work on your paper and students had to self motivate to prove they can produce a clear and thorough paper with well developed topics. The focused on skills that I learned were mainly researching skills. I had to focus on reliable sources and weave out the false information. This is a very important skills to have. The content which I learned about in this was the Cambodian Genocide from when it happened, to the worlds reaction to the genocide.
Proof-
Standards-
RI.9-10.1 Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
I worked really hard on this standard I worked on citing several quotes from the book in my paper and even one from a famous figure. I used MLA style in text citations to utilize them in my paper. I did meet this standard.
L.9-10.2 Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when writing.
I edited this paper the most I have ever edited a paper. I went back several times and focused on my spelling, punctuation and capitalization to make my paper the best it could be. I bleobe that I did meet this standard.
*Research—3B. Integrate information into the text selectively and purposefully, while following a standard citation format (MLA) and avoiding plagiarism and over reliance on any one source
I met this standard by putting my body paragraphs together in a way that it flows consisting only of correct fully sited information with no plagiarism in the text.
*Research— 3A. Collect relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, using effective research and online-search methods, and determine the credibility and accuracy of the sources while assessing the strengths and limitations of each source for the specific task, purpose, and audience.
I did a good job with this standard by proving my information I was using in paper with atleast one other source. I also used different methods of portraying my information as in diagrams, photos and writing. I met the standard because of this.
Reflection-
The genocide paper was my favorite out of all the other assignment we did all year. Even though it was by far the hardest and most work I enjoyed it because I liked my topic. I enjoyed learning about the Cambodian GenocideThe it was something that I never would have known about if I didn't research it. I liked learning about the history of the world and how far we have come to not have genocides be happening today, I find it fascinating. The learning process of this assignment was largely time. How much time you were willing to give to make your paper the best that it can be. The thing that went the best for me in this project was my topic I enjoyed doing the research and the low of this protect was the short deadlines. I believe there wasn't enough time to make the paper the best they could be. I wouldn't have used my time more wisely, if I could do it again.
