Note: You will need to include a minimum of ten (10) sources to support your project claims. Additionally, make sure the sources you choose are no more than five (5) years old.

Other Criteria:

Title your Project

Introduction: Begin with the attention-getter, tie in the background information, and end the introduction with your thesis.

Body:

• Clearly identify the topic of each section. The topic must be a statement, not a question, and should begin with your own ideas and your own words.

• After identifying your topic, use quotations or paraphrase from your sources to help illustrate the point you are making (be sure to identify the author(s) and source(s)).

• After you have given support, spend a sentence or two explaining how the example(s) support the section topic.

• A compilation of your research, your literature review, your methods, (how the data was collected or generated and analyzed), and your results should be included in the body of your project.

Conclusion:

• Restate your thesis. This means that you say about the same thing as you did in your thesis, but you say it differently.

• After stating your thesis, restate the topics from each of your body sections and emphasize what is important for your audience/readers to remember.

• End your conclusion with a call to action that illustrates what your audience/readers should do with the information you presented.

Please note: You will have the opportunity to revise and perfect this project, but you should do your best to make each step as complete as possible so you can receive more relevant and constructive feedback from your instructor and your peers.
