The last time I did a research project I was nineteen years old, I was studying to become a mortician at Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science. We were asked to write a ten-page research paper for world religion class, my research paper at that time was on the twelve disciples and the style of writing was APA. My English Composition I class at Delaware County Community College . I am required to write a research paper based on two films one of those films was called Miss Representation and the other one is called The Mask you live In from those two films I had to choose a topic that relates to the film, the topic I choose was “How does social media animate toxic behaviors in teenage girls”. The challenge for me is that I never wrote a research paper base from a film that I watch, I am not comfortable with that approach. The second challenge I am having is the genre of the paper which is an Op-Ed paper I have never heard of an Op-Ed paper until this class, I had to do some research on what that actually was I am still not too clear about it yet I do have a little idea of what that is. How I identify an Op-Ed paper is an argumentative essay that has a more of a magazine style column approach, I am nervous but also up for the challenge and looking forward to the final outcome of the paper. In addition to my research project below, you will find five blog post links that will give you an opportunity to look at the steps that I took to prepare myself for my research project. In Blog #9 I discuss the movie, Miss Representation I discuss how the film impacted my being. In Blog #10 I discuss the movie The Mask you live that blog focus on the males' issues thatcultivates in our society, both blog 9 & 10 I had to answer questions that pertain to how I was impacted. Blog #11 I am analyzing both films I had to place key terms from each movie into three categories which are a Slugline, Six-word Memoir, and Found Poem. For the next three blogs, I did vlog discussion progress so far in the project. In blog #12 is called Clueless, In blog #13 called Clueless 2. Blog #14 Is called I am getting there, you will also have access to our assignment sheet regarding Research Project to see how each draft I present is measured.
