Parameters for Research Paper

Due: November 21st

Five Pages double spaced

Five sources—at least two books.

Bibliography.

What is a Research Paper?   It is a thesis driven exploration of thoughtful reading on a particular subject.  The reading material may come from several sources.


What is the purpose of a research paper?  The purpose is to find and compile data, to participate in an exploration of the data, to make original observations, to show relationships between data, and to make evaluations on a subject.   Where do I begin?  Start with your primary sources.  These sources may include experiments, surveys, or interviews; notes form field research; works of art or other objects you examine; works of literature; eyewitness accounts; and historical documents.   So I'm reading the texts. What do I do now?  Begin to form your thesis; that is, take a position or stand.  It is the reason for writing the paper, the organizing idea.  You may wish to explain, argue, or justify.   What do I do next?  Research additional sources, to help support your thesis.  Look in books, magazines or journal articles, newspapers, online journals and web sites.  Locate facts or ideas which help explain, clarify, add additional information or evidence to your main point.  Make sure you understand the criteria for substantiating the authenticity of web site content.  An .edu site is a good place to start.   How should the paper be formatted?  MLA.  This style gives specific directions so that you may acknowledge each idea referenced.  Additionally, the documentation guidelines will tell you how to reference each borrowed idea in the body of your paper, and how to prepare the final page, the Works Cited or Bibliography page.    How do I cite my additional sources?  There are three basic ways of citing other authors' material:  you may use a direct quote, a paraphrase (rephrase someone else's words), or a summary.  Whether precisely stated, reworded or summarized, an author's words must be acknowledged as your source.  Remember, borrowing the ideas of others without acknowledgment is plagiarism.    Do I write in first, second or third person?  Generally, a research paper is written in third person; however, some projects may require a first or second person style.     A final point:  You are not locked into your original thesis.  As you collect information and, even during the process of writing the paper, you may discover new knowledge that will modify or alter your original thesis; it's okay to change it.

Exquisite Corpse activity

Exquisite corpse, also known as exquisite cadaver (from the original French term cadavre exquis) or rotating corpse, is a method by which a collection of words or images is collectively assembled. Each collaborator adds to a composition in sequence after being allowed to see only the end of what the previous person contributed.

The technique was invented by Surrealists and is similar to an old parlour game called Consequenes in which players write in turn on a sheet of paper, fold it to conceal part of the writing, and then pass it to the next player for a further contribution. Surrealism principal founder André Breton reported that it started in fun, but became playful and eventually enriching.

Later the game was adapted to drawing and collage, producing a result similar to children's books in which the pages were cut into thirds, the top third pages showing the head of a person or animal, the middle third the torso, and the bottom third the legs, with children having the ability to "mix and match" by turning pages. The game has also been played with the usual orientation of foldings and four or fewer people, and there have been examples with the game played with only two people and the paper being folded widthwise and breadthwise, resulting in quarters. It has been played by mailing a drawing or collage—in progressive stages of completion—to the players, and this variation is known as "Exquisite Corpse by mail".

The name is derived from a phrase that resulted when Surrealists first played the game, "Le cadavre exquis boira le vin nouveau." ("The exquisite corpse shall drink the new wine.")^[ André Breton writes that the game developed at the residence of friends in an old house at 54 rue du Chateau (no longer existing). In the beginning were Yves Tanguy, Marcel Duchamp, Jacques Prévert, Benjamin Péret, Pierre Reverdy, and André Breton. Other participants probably included Max Morise, Joan Miró, Man Ray, Simone Collinet, Tristan Tzara, Georges Hugnet, René Char, Paul, and Nusch Éluard.
Henry Miller often partook of the game to pass time in French cafés during the 1930s.
