I Search for Solutions: Name, Reflect, Act

Term Paper II (Photo credit: SBellavance)

One of the key components of any college composition class is THE RESEARCH PAPER.

Learning how to do college level research, to write an essay where there’s an argument and not just a report or summary on the topic, is critical to student success. That’s because most students will be required to write one or more papers for almost every upper-division class they have as they strive to reach their degree goals. There is also a presentation aspect–sharing your research with the class and on your blog.

Why name, reflect, act?

“Tell me and I’ll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I’ll understand.” Chinese Proverb

Where can you do research and/or take action? The United Way website lists various opportunities and offers a way to search according to your interests. Here’s an example of a posting that a student found to see if it would work for this project:
