Mr. Ira Sterne-----Social Studies Department----Holocaust Assignment

INFORMATION CENTER RESARCH QUESTIONS

Many Nazi doctors and scientists justified their “experiments” as advancing their nation and the cause of science.

QUESTION 1 In light of historical evidence, and codes of accepted practices how do these justifications and experiments conflict with the concept of social and moral righteousness?

QUESTION 2 Is it really ethical to use the data-that is- the results of these experiments? Can their use be justified? If what happened is now history, is it okay to look at this data? (“what’s done is done”)

You should use the list of modern experimental guidelines that is on the reverse of the Milgram handout.

The I-Search Paper
Notes based on The I Search Paper (1988) by Ken Macrorie
Q. What is a traditional term paper/ research paper (at its worst)?
A. An exercise in badly done bibliography
B. An introduction into the art of plagiarism
C. Alien to its writer.
D. A triumph in meaninglessness
E. All of the above
The I-Search Paper directly involves you, the writer, into both process (searching for info) and product (the writing about that search). It challenges the concept that research is the searching again for information already documented. If you have never searched for information on the topic before, there is little re about it. You will connect to the topic in a unique way that cannot be ignored.
The paper will have five components:
1. My Question (and why I decided to research this question) “I” format
2. My Search Process (the story of the hunt) “I” format
3. What I Have Learned (connect findings to the original question) NOT “I” format
4. What This Means To Me (how has researching this question changed you) “I” format
5. Works Cited Page (all references in alphabetical order)
6. Oral Presentation ( speech, skit, poster, video, or some other exhibition of knowledge to be presented to the class) January 2009
Examination of the six components:
1.My Question: You may research a question of interest to you. All topics must be approved by Mrs. Gandt. Some sample topics are: Greek drama/tragedy, Greek theaters, civil disobedience, concept of the Greek hero, migrant workers in California in 1930’s, agriculture in California in the 1930’s, Dust Bowl, book banning in the United States, book burning in history, family and gender roles in the early 1900’s. I suggest you select a topic of personal interest. Explain where your question originated, what you think you know about this topic and what you want to learn. CAVEAT: must have at least one graphic component. “I”(first person) format
2. My Search Process: Keep a journal of your search and this section will be easier to write. You are encouraged to use a variety of resources. Keep note cards on Noodle Tools. Some that I suggest you consider are:
o Google Images
 read books magazines, newspapers, or reference texts
 watch videos or television shows
 use database reference tools
 interview people or conduct surveys
 go on a personal field trip
Then you will describe the sequence of steps in your research. You may also discuss if your question changed as you researched. “I” format
3. What I Have Learned: In this section you will focus on three of four major findings or conclusions and support them with examples, stories, or arguments that will help the reader understand how you arrived at these conclusions. You will also connect your findings to the original question. You should include any analysis you did (cause and effect, pro/con, compare and contrast, or sequencing). At least two (2) references to the graphic and three (3) quotations with parenthetical notations must be included. Typical research paper section. This section is NOT IN “I” FORMAT.
4. What This Means to Me: You will answer the question: what do you now know about searching for information that you didn’t know before? To answer this you must describe the findings that meant the most to you. You may also want to discuss how this new knowledge will affect the way you will act and think in the future. You may also want to write about the skills you developed as a researcher and a writer. “I” format
5. Works Cited: This is an alphabetical listing of all the sources you found, good and bad, using the MLA format. The library will instruct you in Noodle Tools. Keep an up-to-date journal of all sources as you use them; they are very difficult to rediscover for vital info. References must include two databases and websites, if applicable. Do not list search engines (Google).
6. Oral Presentation: We will discuss this as a class. You may choose a speech format, an original skit, original video, original poem or some other exhibition of knowledge to the class. Do not be concerned with this at the start; an idea will come to you. All ideas do need my seal of approval, but I do endorse creativity.
