Write a research paper about the effects of social media on kids.

Write a research paper about the effects of social media on kids. Think about
what questions emerged through your
student experiences
this semester. Is there a specific issue
affecting a community that you don’t yet
understand? Is there a problem currently facing your
community? Is there a health-related
topic
you’ve always wanted
to write about but never could fit into the other assignments? You may pick
any topic/ research
question associated , but remember that you must be able to come to some kind
of conclusion about
this question in four to five pages. For
example, if you are writing about the
parenting community,
you could ask one of the following questions: Should I home school my
child?
What is the best
strategy for potty training? Is a birth
plan important? Your answer to this
research
question will become
your thesis statement and should be placed at the end of your introduction.
In order to answer
your question, you must research and find two to three secondary sources. While
one of your secondary
sources may be a non-print source (a personal interview, a documentary film,
etc.), at least one
of your sources must be a print source of some kind that comes from the Felbry
College library
database (an academic journal article; a reliable magazine, journal or
newspaper
article; a book; a
report; etc.). Remember that many
academic journal articles are published online,
but they still count
as a print source.

Audience: Pick your
own audience! Keep your imagined
audience in mind as you draft your essay.
What information
would they find convincing?
What I will be
looking for in your essay:
· An APA-formatted cover page
· A descriptive title
· A clear thesis statement that answers
your research question
· An introduction that engages the
audience’s interest and introduces the topic
· An analysis of the question that
supports your thesis statement throughout your essay
· Utilization of two
to three secondary sources that support your thesis statement. You should
cite at least one
direct quote from each secondary source.
Cite your sources in APA style.
Each body paragraph
will have a topic sentence, concrete evidence in the form of your direct
quotation from your
source, commentary about the quotation, and a concluding sentence that
transitions into the
next paragraph. You should introduce the quote in your own words and
discuss how the quote
relates to your thesis statement.
· A conclusion paragraph that clearly
analyzes the significance of the issue/research question
· NO use of I, we, you/your, us. NO use
of contractions (example: don’t, can’t). Use full words.
· Clear focus, smooth organization, and
effective grammar usage as well as evidence that you
are using conventions
of English: capitalizing first words of sentences and proper nouns;
placing punctuation
marks in the correct position; complete sentences that are clear and
concise and do not
require readers to make logical leaps to understand your meaning.
