A.
Now that you have a basic idea of what you are required to do, it is time to make a plan. It is a very good idea to plan this research project in terms of days and weeks.


You have the time frame of the remainder of this Unit to finish, and you will need to work on the project each day. The final paper should be completed by the time you get to the Practice Test.


Carefully read the following and follow through with all the requirements by writing it in the space provided or on a calendar. When you are finished, make sure to inform your teacher and go over what your plan is.


1. Ask your teacher when your final project (the presentation) is due and write that date down.

2. Next, ask your teacher to give you a due date for the final draft of the research project.

3. Then, consider any other commitments that you may already have, such as sports practices and games. Write the dates down. Do you have other major assignments? Note those dates as well. You need to develop an overall picture of your projects and commitments and how much time you have to complete them.


When you have recorded all the due dates and commitments, then set up your research plan. Record the following:


4. topic selected and narrowed

5. sources selected

6. information gathered (15 note cards) and all sources documented

7. tentative outline written

8. thesis statement and final outline written

9. rough draft completed, including worked cited

10. rough draft revised, proofread, and edited

11. final draft completed

12. final research project completed

13. research presentation due


In order to keep yourself on track throughout the Unit, record ALL 13 items listed above on either a calendar or a list that you include in the space below. You must show your teacher your plan!


B.
Select a Topic!

Once you have developed a plan, the next step in any research project is to decide your topic. The table below shows suggested topics that contain people, places, events, and things that you have studied in your science and social studies classes. These topics are just starting points; once you select a general topic, you will need to narrow the topic so that it has a specific focus. Look over the list of topics and choose three that interest you. Write your choice in the space below.

List of Suggested Research Topics
Science:
earthquakes
hurricanes
tsunamis
a planet in the solar system
volcanoes
black holes
fires
dwarf planets

C.
Brainstorming!

Brainstorming is listing ideas related to your topic on paper. While thinking about topics is good, writing down your ideas about these topics will help you to establish a starting point for research. Set your timer for 2 minutes per topic and make a list of everything you know about the three topics you chose. Include that list in the space below OR talk with your teacher about completing a word web instead. Consult a teacher or classmate if you experience difficulties.

When you have finished this assignment, look over your lists and see which one would be the best to explore for your research paper.

Make sure to let your teacher know when you have finished this assignment and chosen the final topic for your paper.

Story Description:

Who are the prophets in your life—you know, the people who make you think about the truly important things? Susan, the narrator in "Hamadi," finds her own prophet of sorts, a family friend from her homeland in the Middle East, whose outlook on life and sage advice are gifts he bestows on everyone he meets.

This region includes the nations of Israel, Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine, which border the Mediterranean Sea. Historically, the Middle East has been involved in many complex conflicts rooted in issues of land, religion, and politics. In fact, deadly conflicts are ongoing now. The Prophet was published in 1928 by Lebanese author Kahlil Gibran. The book contains spiritual and philosophical essays on subjects dealing with love, sorrow, pain, freedom, marriage, death, friendship—the things of life no matter where you live.
