Explain how the visual you included helps support your position.

Objectives:
1. Produce a persuasive research paper from the outline developed in Assignment 2
2. Create a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation to share your group’s topic, findings and
conclusion with the class in an oral presentation
In this assignment, you will use everything that you have created in Assignments 1 and 2 to
produce a cohesive and well-written paper, which clearly conveys your research topic and
supporting evidence to your readers. Your paper should include a detailed analysis of research
found, including explanations of statistics and the methodology/techniques of studies that you
include as support for your position. In addition, each student’s section of the final paper should
include a visual aid that provides supplemental information (tables, charts, graphs, figures, etc).
Include the visual aid such that it flows with the rest of the content in your paper. Explain how
the visual you included helps support your position.
In addition, you will be creating a PowerPoint presentation to share your group’s research topic,
position and supporting evidence with the class. Your slides should be readable, well designed to
catch the audience’s attention, and include the main points of your research topic. In addition each
person in the group should include a visual (table, chart, graph, figure, etc) that supports their
section of the topic.

Directions:
1. Start with the title of your group paper.
2. Write your portion of the paper (you can use your full-sentence outline from A2 to guide
you).
• Include group thesis statement and introduction of your portion of the topic.
• Include at least one object
o An object can be a table, figure, graph or chart – with an explanation of how
it is related into your research.
3. Create a bibliography for your sources using EndNote (in APA 7th edition format). All
sources are created using EndNote. DO NOT copy and paste, must import from EndNote.
4. Include at least one properly formatted footnote in your paper. (Note: footnotes are not
for citation – APA 7th follows in-text citation methods, but are for providing additional
information. Example: You are citing the results of a research study in support of your
position, a footnote can be used to provide background information on the study such as
sample size, duration, any controls or variables, etc. that may help enhance your reader’s
understanding of the methodology of the researchers who conducted the study)
5. Write student biography
Include a photograph
6. Develop PowerPoint slides for your portion of the presentation
