the broad topic is gender but you have to choose a subtopic about gender 

e.g inequality in gender (thats just an example). there are two assignments paper one (with two parts) and paper two (with part one and two).

 i will give enough time is needed and both papers are very CRITICAL especially paper 2 and must be followed the procedure given. all questions are answered in an essay format for both papers. paper one must be in its own document from the second paper.

1. first exercise with different paper 1 (2-3 pages)

Research Exercise 2: Exploring Your Topic with Research Quickstart/Forming a Preliminary Research Question

NOTE:  You will need time to find your way around a web page, find resources there, read them quickly and write about one briefly. Depending on your comfort level with research tools, 

PART I:  Finding a Resource

• Go to the Library's homepage.  To do that, you can either go to the MCTC page and click on the Library link at the bottom of the page (next to the D2L link), or go directly tohttp://www.minneapolis.edu/library/index.html
• Click on theResearch Helpicon on the left side of the page below the search box, then scroll down toResearch Guides.
• Scroll down to Course Guides and find English 1111: Focus on Gender.

1. What is your tentative topic? (Note: “gender” is too broad. Choose a specific aspect. 
2. What kinds of conversations have you had about your topic (for example, with family, friends, in other courses, etc.)?   Who else do you want to talk to about the topic, and what specific questions do you want to ask? Note that if you really don’t have any questions about the topic, it is not a good choice for research (because research is a process of asking questions, right?)
3. Choose one source from theResearch Guidethat is relevant to your topic. Provide citation information – title, author, publisher, publication date. If it’s an article, provide both the article title and the title of the book or journal where the article is published
4. Address these questions about your tentative source:
5. a) describe what KIND of source it is (for example, is it an article in an encyclopedia? an e-book? a journal article? are you unsure what it is?)b) after briefly skimming the source, record its main point AND describe what you think is the purpose of this sourcec) explain why this source seems useful for YOUR topic in particulard) describe something (a fact, an idea) you learned from the source so far

NOTE that you MUST skim the sources to answer these question. So don’t choose a print book for this exercise unless you’re going to go to the library physically and pull it off the shelf and read part of it.

Part II: A prelimary research question

This part of the exercise is asking you to work on focusing your research question. Your ideas will continue to evolve as you do more research, but this step should help focus your research efforts (and hopefully same some time as you move forward!)

(NOTE: Read Chapter 3 before doing this exercise! Look at the table on p. 51 for ideas on how to generate research questions)

1. What is your general TOPIC? What FOCUS area(s) – information, history, assumptions, goals, outcomes, policies – are you interested in exploring about this topic?
2. What specific QUESTION do you want to answer about your issue?
3. How did you decide on this question? Be specific. For example, you may have come to it through this research exercise, the reading, the class discussions, a life long preoccupation, a vivid experience, etcetera.   Why do you think this question is interesting and important to answer, for your readers as well as for yourself?
4. Identifyanyresources you’ve found so far that look promising and explain briefly why you chose them. Note that you may use the assigned class reading as resources, as well as the resource you identified in the first part of this exercise.   You should haveAT LEAST 2 resourcesat this point!!!Provide full MLA citations for each potential source.
5. Without further research, answer your question inone complete sentence. (Not a paragraph. A sentence. I’m not kidding. A sentence.)

2. second exercise with a different paper( 2-3 pages)

Part I:  Reading Critically

1.  Rewrite your answer to the last question from  exercise1 (the answer to your preliminary research question).  This statement will be your preliminary thesis.

2.  Choose one of the sources you identified in exercise1 and cite the source in MLA format.  If you don’t know what that is, consult your textbook or the “Citing” link at the MCTC Library page.

• 3. identify the main point in your source
• identify 2 statements or statistics you may want to quote from your source
• list 2 specific questions you had as you read the source (note that these questions should be connected to YOUR purpose as a writer)
• list 2 reactions you had to specific information or ideas in the source
• describe how you will use specific information from this source to develop your thesis

4.  How is this source like/not like other sources you’ve read for your project?

5.  Identify one thing in the source that you need to know more about for your project and describe what you will do next to get that information.

Part II:  Working Closely with One Source/QPS                        

NOTE:  You need to actually read your source first in order to complete this part of the Research Exercise! Attach an electronic copy or a link to the source with your exercise.  You may use the same source you worked with for Part I of this exercise, or you may choose a different source if that’s more useful for you.

1.  What is your Research Question?

2.  Choose ONE of your sources that you will use for the Research Essay.  Record its bibliographic information in MLA format (if you’re not sure what you need to record here, check the Bedford Researcher, or go to the MCTC library website, “Citing” link).

3.  Summarize the article: What is the writer’s main argument?  How does s/he support the main point?

4.  Choose 5 entries from the source and do a double-entry journal (see below):  Your entries can be PARAPHRASES or DIRECT QUOTES.

5.  Synthesis:  Fill in the blanks and write a brief paragraph (at least 5 sentences) about how this source has affected your ideas about your research question, starting with  – “Before I started reading this source, I thought ________, but now I understand that ________.  That makes me think ____.  As you write the paragraph, consider the following points:

• What surprised you most about the article?  What do you remember best?
• Which ideas or arguments seemed most convincing?  Least convincing?
• What other research possibilities does the source suggest?

6.  Practice:  Draft a paragraph for your essay in which you use a summary, paraphrase, and quote from this source.  Be sure to use in-text citations in MLA format.  Note that this paragraph should use the source to make a point about YOUR ideas; DO NOT just summarize what you’ve read.  If you do this right, you should be able to use this paragraph in your essay.
