The Synthesis Question gives you several sources, and asks you to combine (or synthesize) them with your own thoughts to create a cohesive essay. This is the same goal of a research paper! Throughout the process, use the sample Synthesis Questions to help with formatting.  \nThe project will be broken down into several steps outlined below.  \nStep 1-Choose a topic from the attached list Due end of class Day 53    \nStep 2 –(20 points – group grade) Work with your topic group to brainstorm multiple factors related to your topic.  \nComplete the Group Brainstorm and Planning worksheet. Due Day 55    \nStep 3 –(30 points – group grade) With your topic group, write a draft of a Synthesis Question Prompt Page, including directions, introduction, and assignment. Follow the examples given. You are creating this Question Prompt Page with the realization that it may be modified as your project progresses. Typed draft is Due Day 55    \nStep 4 – Go on NACC Library Field Trip. Individually, find 10 sources that will help to answer the Synthesis Prompt you have created. Focus on finding sources that address your assigned “piece” of the issue. These sources must be diverse, and according to the guidelines specified. Trip is on Day 56 BDF – March 1st  \nStep 5 –(100 points) Individually, complete an annotated bibliography for all ten sources. An annotated bibliography is a glorified Works Cited page. Each source citation must be formatted according to MLA format with an annotation (“blurb” of explanation) . Turn in a copy of each source for any that hasn’t already been conferenced and“checked.” You are STRONGLY ENCOURGED TO SCHEDULE A CONFERENCE to check MLA formatting. Keep a printed copy of your sources for your use in the next step. Due Day 64    \nStep 6 –(15 points – group grade) Work with your topic group. Compare your sources with those of your group.  \nTogether, choose excerpts from 12 sources that show the various complexities of your topic. Also make sure that they are from a variety of locations and types. Format your sources according to the samples given and turn in copies of your sources in a packet. Each source should be no longer than one page, including citation information.  \nDue Day 68    \nStep 7 –(10 points – group grade) Work with your topic group to revise and create a final draft of Question  \nPrompt Page in the format used on the AP Exam. Ex. Labeled, type listed, with citation, etc. Due Day 68    \nStep 8 –(100 points) Individually, write a response to the Synthesis Question you created, synthesizing at least 7 of the sources in your group’s final packet of sources. This will be the actual “paper.”Your sources should be integrated meaningfully and cohesively into YOUR OWN NEW OPINION. The point is not just to repeat what the sources have said, but to “have a conversation” with them, in which you are a participant, not a reporter. Quotations must be integrated and properly cited within the text. No Works Cited page is necessary, as you have already turned in your annotated bibliography. Due Day 73    \nStep 9 –(25 points) Individually, write a reflection on the research process. See Step 7 assignment for more detail. Due Day 75    \nEach of the above steps will have its own guidelines, instructions and rubrics as necessary.  \nAP English Language Research Project  \nStep 1 – Choose Topic  \nYou will be completing your research paper individually. However, you will be working with a group of your classmates to brainstorm and find sources for your project. This will require collaboration and allow you to see/discuss the multiple perspectives on your topic.  \nConsider the following possible topics for your class. Then, on the index card given, rank them in the order you would like to work on them. Label \\#1 as your top choice, \\#2 as your second favorite, etc. You’ll ","cbCail0hHgoaHpCi","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCail0hHgoaHpCi","pdf",340860,"English","# Step 1 - Choose a Topic\n# Step 2 - Group Brainstorm Worksheet\n# Step 3 - Prompt Page Draft\n# Step 4 - Library Field Trip and Source Collection\n# Step 5 - Annotated Bibliography (MLA)\n# Step 6 - Source Excerpts Selection and Packet\n# Step 7 - Revise Final Question Prompt Page\n# Step 8 - Write Synthesis Response Essay\n# Step 9 - Research Process Reflection","[{\"question\":\"What is the main deliverable for this AP English Language project?\",\"answer\":\"Students create an AP Exam style synthesis question response essay based on sources gathered for their chosen topic.\"},{\"question\":\"How many sources must be found and how are they documented?\",\"answer\":\"Students individually find 10 sources and complete an annotated bibliography, with each citation formatted in MLA and annotated with an explanation.\"},{\"question\":\"What is required in the final synthesis essay?\",\"answer\":\"The response must synthesize at least 7 sources from the group’s final packet, integrate quotations properly, and develop the student’s own cohesive opinion through conversation with the sources.\"}]","AP English Language Research Project Assignment | PDF"]
