The four course themes of education, technology, family, and
health and wellness are topics that touch each of our lives in some way. In
this discussion, practice exploring the themes as a researcher would: by
creating problem statements.

How do you do this? Ask and then answer the question using a
sub-topic (see below). Here’s an example. “For whom is [school bullying] a
problem?“ In your post, provide the question and then the answer to the
question. For example, “School bullying is a problem for victims of bullying
because. . . .” Complete the statement based on your experience and knowledge.

In research writing, what exactly do we mean by argument? Do we
mean taking an extreme position and standing our ground, whether or not the
facts support our position? Or do we mean instead convincing our audience by
taking a reasonable stance on an issue and supporting our position with
appropriate evidence? Define and explain the difference using examples.

How reliable is the Internet as a source of information for your
research? What are the ways you can validate information that you find on the
Internet? Why is this necessary? Use examples from the Information Literacy
module you reviewed this week.

Persuasive presenters have several traits in common. Browse
through TED talks http://www.ted.com/talks or American Rhetoric Website at
http://www.americanrhetoric.com/ to find notable speakers who demonstrate
strong communication traits. Compare and contrast the ways these speakers
meaningfully communicate ideas to their audiences. Include the URL link of the speaker
you choose to write about. In a short paragraph, respond to a classmate’s post,
indicating whether you agree or disagree with his or her choice, and why.

How important is it to be personally invested in an idea? Can you
sell an idea that you have no stake in? Why or why not? Using one of the
resources from the Course Readings, provide an example of an author who is
communicating in a way that tells a reader that the author is credible and is a
trustworthy source.

In your textbook (pp. 325–326), you’ll find a model of an
annotated bibliography. Review the model, focusing on the components of the
entry: (1) the reference citation, (2) the summary, and (3) the assessment.
Then draft one reference entry and two paragraphs from one of your sources.
We’ll use the rest of the week to peer review the entries to prepare you for
this week’s assignment.

In presenting an argument, should a writer strive to be the final
authority or a reasonable voice on an issue? Review Chapter 22 to understand
the difference. Then, using your topic and one or more of your sources, define
and provide an example of an arguable claim as opposed to a personal judgment.

In the textbook, review the student essay on p. 199, “Allowing
Guns on Campus Will Prevent Shootings, Rape.” What strengths and weaknesses do
you find in Ohman’s essay? Does Ohman’s essay inflame or inform? Finally, does
Ohman increase your literacy about violence or merely arouse your emotions?

Let’s look at samples of research-based writing: “Nervous Nellies”
on p. 328; “From Degrading to De-Grading” on p. 254; and “How Many Zombies Do
You Know?” on p. 290.

Review each selection and include in your post responses to these
questions. What do you notice about how each is organized and presented? What
kinds of appeals to the audience does each author use? How are sources used in
text?

Reading Strategy Note: Unlike summary and paraphrase, which
require close reading, for this discussion use the reading strategy of
skimming. Carefully read the introductory paragraph, but then move quickly,
reading only the topic sentence of each paragraph. The goal is to compare and
contrast the differences in the presentation of the information in the
document. Skim and review until you have an impression you can share in the
discussion.

Anticipating readers’ objections is one way to determine what
other sections to include and support in your paper. Practice writing a
rebuttal or a refutation by taking your thesis and considering the point of
view of someone who believes differently or even the opposite of the argument
you are making. To do this, review Chapter 10, pp. 449–452 and post a paragraph
that summarizes an oppositional point of view to your thesis and then refutes
it. As peers, reply to one another explaining whether or not your classmates
are presenting the opposition objectively and whether the refutation is
logical. Give one another ideas or suggestions for points that may be left out
or might need to be further developed. The paragraph you draft here can be used
in a section of your Second Draft this week.

While APA-style citation and format is required, you do have the
flexibility in the design of your Course Project to include a visual element.
Review Chapter 17, pp. 382–387. How does the use of visual elements enhance or
detract from the presentation of research? Will you add graphs, charts, or
images to your draft? Why or why not?

Each academic area of study has a particular style for
documenting the ideas of other scholars. The standards of formatting document
you’ve been using is from the American Psychological Association (APA). This is
the preferred style in the social sciences. As you’ve noticed, there is a
strong emphasis on the publication date. Why do you think there is such an
emphasis on the date? As you work on revising your Course Project, what
questions do you have about how to incorporate standard APA format and
documentation guidelines into your essay? Are there any sources you are having
a hard time documenting? Any questions about your reference entries?
