Research Project

The Museum Project Part 2: Creating the Project After you have received feedback on Research Project Part 1, you will create your presentation or video.

The presentation must contain 8-10 minutes of content.  Generally, it takes about two minutes to read one full page of text when written with 12 point font and one-inch margins You may submit a written or spoken narrative The presentation must have 3-5 scholarly sources and contain at least four artistic examples

The sources must come from the BC Online Library or its databases If the art being used for the presentation contains art forms other than images,

the presentation must still contain a minimum of two images The narrative must provide citations for quoted or summarized materials.  If you are speaking your narrative, be sure to indicate when you’re quoting or summarizing someone else’s ideas. Also, indicate whom you are referencing.

If you type your narrative instead of recording it, remember It needs to be submitted as a separate Word document It must include appropriate citations Create a Works Cited slide or Works Cited Page, indicating the citations for the images as well as the 3-5 research sources you’ve used Remember that the PowerPoint is a presentation.   PowerPoint slides should not contain long selections of text.   

The slides should contain clear images, the image citation, and perhaps one or two short phrases to highlight a point Here’s a helpful video: https://youtu.be/CXKCrqc0s4k    NOTE: Some submissions exceed the file size for submitting to D2L. Please use an external dropbox or a YouTube link for large submissions.

The outline is already done: Here is feedback from the professor that could be used to make my final project better. concerns:

1. the topic- Where does the topic intersect with the course material?

2. Research- Remember that the images need to be “read” and have a meaning constructed that supports the overall thesis. Many of these images seem to be difficult to interpret and suggest only an illustration of an event. 3.Humanities disciplines- Humanities disciplines can be found in Unit One, sources for this Practicing the Humanities |Amanda Anderson | TEDxBrownUniversity (14:20) and The Classroom Mosaic: Culture and Learning | Experience Illuminates the Curriculum | (5:47)4. Working thesis- Remember that a thesis is not a fact; instead, it is the statement of the project’s argument. What do you want to say about the specific materials you’ve collected?

What should we learn? 5.Outline- The outline seems to suggest a report rather than an analysis.

Remember that the goal is to create meaning and analyze the materials you’ve collected.For more information on Research Project read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research
