10 Sources/Reflective Essay Assignment
XXXXXXXXXXTOPIC IS CURE FOR CANCER
There are two parts to this assignment:
1. Research and gather 10 various sources about your topic/issue. You need to format the sources using MLA citation and list them on a "Works Cited" page, which should be separate from the reflective essay. Please review the sample works cited page and the link to Purdue OWL's MLA webpage.
2. Write a reflection paper about the process you went through to find these 10 sources.
Make sure you answer the following questions in your reflection:
· Why did you choose these particular sources?
· Where and how did you find your sources?
· What process or strategies did you use to determine whether you chose a specific source for this list?
· What terms were successful and unsuccessful when you searched this topic/issue?
· What tools did you use to aid you in your search?
· How much time did this whole process take (to find, read and understand your sources)?
· What did you learn through this process?
· What would you do differently if given the chance?
Format:
· Your reflection paper should be a minimum of 2 full pages (this does NOT include your 10 sources list).
· You may use first and third person point of view, but your writing should be formal in tone appropriate for an academic audience, i.e. no slang or informal language.
· Do not use second person point of view (you, your), as this is considered addressing the reader directly and should not be done in formal academic writing.
· Please format the paper using MLA style guidelines to include:
· Times New Roman font, size 12
· Double spacing - This is from the beginning to the end of the paper without extra spacing between bibliographic entries or paragraphs.
