Summary: In the class and also in research pairs, you focused on discussing actions and solutions, but you also spoke and reflected on your past work on your issue, including the basics, historical information, data, the causes, and then the effects, and possible solutions, or at least some relief to the situation that is your close reading. Afterward, you learned about strategies to synthesize your notes as a template as an outline for your upcoming APA formatted presentation.

You discussed in pairs the possible actions and solutions to your issue. Then, we discussed ways to prepare for your presentation on November 11th. Finally, you reflected on the three questions in your Google Doc. 

Guidelines for your Presentation, in addition to the information in the presentation of your issue document.

1. Your talk should be about 7-8 minutes and then 2-3 minutes for questions, comments, and answers.

 
2. There are usually 12 to 16 slides.

3. You’ll have a Reference page to show where you got your work from. Please include the author’s name, date published, the organization or publisher, and the URL link.

4. In the slideshow, please write and say where you got the information from in the form of in-text citations such as (Miller, 2020, para. 3). You can also do narrative in-text citations such as Suzuki (2020, p. 5) suggested that… If you use the author’s exact words, you need to use “quotation marks,” but you do not need quotes if you summarize in the keywords. 

5. Here are two free websites where you can download free and beautiful images and pictures:

Making Great Research and Research Questions

Optional Homework if you have a difficult time making your presentation:

1. Please write your four or five questions related to your topic that you are researching and categorizing your notes on six articles on three A4 papers as shown in the sample images and the downloadable “Synthesizing Your Issue on 4 A4 Papers” PowerPoint above, which is like mind-mapping:

2. Then, use your research questions to categorize your notes into five or six sections in three pages of notes. The research questions become your paragraph topic thesis statements in your paper. Each section should include at least two citations, noting paragraph numbers and pages, especially for quoted material. This will help you remember the sources of your information, making the writing process easier with the necessary in-text citations. Please take photos and place them in your Google Document under the Synthesized Notes section

2. Please include your references in the document APA style on the fourth page and insert the corrected clean copy of your references in alphabetical order in your Google Document at the end of your Synthesized Notes section. Please provide the details of the author’s name, date published, the title, pages (if needed), and the publisher (or organization). We have already formatted many of your references; please refer to the edited format provided and use that content.

Note: Your reference section should be in alphabetical order based on the author’s last name or the organization if there is no author.
