Ask and develop specific question. This should be something you care about, something you’ve always wondered about – something that will keep you engaged, as you’ll be continuing this line of inquiry in Unit 3 as well. Have your question approved by me (REQUIRED). If you change your question, your new question must be approved. Due 3/16 (You cannot change your question past 3/16). Research, gather information on, and analyze 4 sources consisting of at least 3 different genres. Read and annotate sources with your question in mind. Take notes on the relationship between the source and your question. Consider throughout: what did I learn from this source? About my own process of thought? About my reading process? My writing process? Write your report. The best way to go about this is to write the report for each source, then write the intro and conclusion. Remember that format and appearance count, so give yourself time to proofread and make it look good! Your analysis of each source must be at least 300 words – this is both content analysis AND rhetorical analysis, which we have discussed and will continue to discuss during this unit. In other words, you must analyze not only what the source says, but also who its intended audience is, what its history is, its purpose, etc. Remember, try to make this as interesting to your readers as possible. This gives you some leeway in choosing how you want to format your report, but make sure you consider what is best for your audience. Example of how you might format this piece. Intro Summary and analysis of source #1. Be sure to mention the genre, audience, and purpose of the piece. You should insert your evaluation of the source. Also quote from the source.

Summary and analysis of source #3. Be sure to mention the genre, audience, and purpose of the piece. You should insert your evaluation of the source. Also quote from the source. Summary and analysis of source #4. Be sure to mention the genre, audience, and purpose of the piece. You should insert your evaluation of the source. Also quote from the source. You might want to add a paragraph here addressing the problem you’ve uncovered while researching this question, and how you will address it in a new genre and why you chose that genre. You might still be deciding what genre you want to use, which is fine. You can also identify the problem and audience you might want to reach. Conclusion. The entire report, consisting of source analysis, introduction, and conclusion, should be at least 1600 words RESEARCH QUESTION: HOW DO CONSPIRACY THEORY START AND AND WHO IS MOST LIKELY TO BELIEVE IT
