Identify sections in the library to find sources and materials for a research.
Observe guidelines on finding or selecting sources and materials for a research.
II. Learning Experiences:
A. Concept Notes
Though research writing starts with an inquiry, it is always backed up by an investigation. Authority and
credibility are important in producing a successful research output.
Use the Library
Tentative Topic
Web OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog)
Reference Section
Archive
General Circulation
Periodical Section
The library research is a continuous cycle. After going through these sections in the library, you need to
go through these sections more than once all throughout the research writing.
1. Web OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog) computer-based system where card catalogs are
stored. Electronic catalogs include the title, author, name of publisher, place of publication,
availability, call number, and most importantly, descriptor of the sources (location) you are trying to
search.
2. Reference Section it contains specialized materials that do not circulate and must be used within the
library building. Ex.: Encyclopedias, Dictionaries, Bibliographies, Handbooks.
3. Archive it is a repository of unpublished original records. Ex.: Theses and Dissertations. These are
most commonly retrieved by researchers because they often offer the most updated research findings
in different fields.
4. General Circulation it is the backbone of any library. It contains majority of the books and this is
also where transactions, such as borrowing, returning, or reserving, are done.
5. Periodical Section it contains magazines, journals and newspapers which keep you informed of the

current events.
Observe the five criteria in selecting sources or materials:
1. accuracy: reliability and accuracy of information
2. authority: authors qualification and publishers reputation
3. objectivity: impartiality of the information on document
4. currency: up-to-date content of the work and publication date
5. coverage: topics included in the work, the depth of the topics explored, and their relevance to your
research
The reliability of an author can be measured:
1. by the number of books he/she has written on the topic or field; and
2. through cross-citation of authors.
B. Activity 1. The activity is an Actual Library Search of Sources and Materials for the Research Paper.
Process Sheets will be given to secure the pieces of information. Refer to the topic assigned to your
group. (Individual Task)
C. Synthesis. Why do you need to choose carefully the research sources and materials?

Identify and observe guidelines on finding or selecting internet or web sources and materials for a research.
Search research sources and materials from an internet or a web.
II. Learning Experiences:
A. Concept Notes
URL (Universal Resource Locator, its Web Address) every item on the web has a URL and all ends
with an extension, or domain, that indicates the type of site it is.
.com (commercial): sites hosted by businesses
.edu (educational): sites sponsored by colleges and universities
.gov (governmental): sites sponsored by some branch of government, federal, state or local
.net (network): sites sponsored by businesses selling Internet infrastructure services (such as Internet
providers) but also sometimes chosen by businesses that want to appear technologically sophisticated
or organizations that want to indicate that they are part of a network
.org (organization):usually sponsored by nonprofit groups (sometimes questionable)
Sites sponsored by educational, governmental, and nonprofit organizations are likely to be reliable, but
your evaluation of a website should never end with its URL.
Take a look at the following details, if you are able to supply all the details asked for, then tendency is
for your searched article to be a credible source:
Name of the first author:
E-mail/contact detail of the Author:
Copyright Date:
Date of Publication:
Name of the Sponsoring Organization:
Write the entire website:
Are there mechanical errors in the text? Yes ___ No ___
Is there a bibliographical list? Yes ___ No ___
B. Activity 1. The activity is an Actual Internet Search of Sources and Materials for the Research Paper.
Process Sheets will be given to secure the pieces of information. Refer to the topic assigned to your
group. (Individual Task)
C. Synthesis. Why do you need to be careful and critical in your choices of internet sites as a research
source and material?

Identify and observe ways on how to write an effective conclusion of a research paper.
II. Learning Experiences:
A. Concept Notes
Conclusion brings readers full circle (Hacker, 1992). Well-written endings sum up the major points
presented in the body of the paper and help readers understand the implications of facts and opinions
presented therein. In addition, it enables the writer to emphasize key points.
Use a combination of any of the following strategies in writing the conclusion:
1. Restate your thesis statement or summarize the key points.
2. Draw implications.
3. Predict the future significance or practical use of the facts presented.
4. In an argumentative paper, point out your stand on the issue.
5. Suggest actions the readers should make.
Example:
Above all, teachers need to inform themselves and the rest of the school community so that together
they can develop a policy to discourage bullying. (Restatement of the Thesis) By educating themselves
about bullying, teachers and parents have the knowledge to set up effective programmes and structures
both within the classroom and for the whole school. Furthermore, by removing the opportunity for
children to bully, providing children with a stimulating environment, and giving them the tools to deal
with conflict appropriately, teachers can reduce children's inclination to bully. (Summary) Although
bullying will never be fully eradicated and must be dealt with as soon as it occurs, increasing awareness
of the problem is making schools a safer and more enjoyable environment in which children can learn.
(Significance)
Recommendations come after the conclusion. Present recommendations based on your findings.
Avoid the temptation to present recommendations based on your own beliefs or biases that are not
specifically supported by your data. They fall into two categories.
1. Recommendations to the study sponsor. What actions do you recommend they take based upon the
data.
2. Recommendations to other researchers. There are almost always ways that a study could be improved
or refined. What would you change if you were to do your study over again? These are the
recommendations to other researchers.
Example:
The problem of teen gang violence can be eliminated. It will, however, take time, money, and a
combined effort on the part of many people. Organized, free, after-school programs such as: sports
teams and games; art, music, and drama activities; internships in local area businesses and professional
organizations; and interesting volunteer activities in the community would help engage teens in
worthwhile pursuits outside of school hours. More job opportunities for teens, especially those funded
by state and local programs, would offer income for teens as well as productive work for the
community. Outreach to families through schools, community organizations, and places of
worship would help promote inter-generational activities that could improve family closeness, helping
teens to work on their problems at the family level, instead of taking them to the streets. If these
programs can be implemented, we will surely see a decrease in teen gang activity and safer streets and
neighborhoods for us all. http://www.sresearchguide.org/
B. Activity 1. Label the strategies used in the conclusion below.
Do we as Americans want to continue to be known as the most violent of all western countries, if not, call
or write to your representatives in Congress and demand that they pass federal firearm prevention laws.
After all, federal firearm-access prevention laws keep weapons out of the hands of unauthorized users,
reduce all kinds of gun-related violence, and they are a constitutional and practical means of gun control.
Given these facts, one cannot argue against the necessity for federal firearm-access prevention laws.

2. Recommendations

A paraphrase is...
your own rendition of essential information and ideas expressed by someone else, presented in a new
form.
one legitimate way (when accompanied by accurate documentation) to borrow from a source.
a more detailed restatement than a summary, which focuses concisely on a single main idea.
Six Steps to Effective Paraphrasing
1. Reread the original passage until you understand its full meaning.
2.
Set the original aside, and write your paraphrase on a note card.
3.
Jot down a few words below your paraphrase to remind you later how you envision using this
material. At the top of the note card, write a key word or phrase to indicate the subject of your
paraphrase.
4.
Check your rendition with the original to make sure that your version accurately expresses all the
essential information in a new form.
5.
Use quotation marks to identify any unique term or phraseology you have borrowed exactly from
the
source.
6.
Record the source (including the page) on your note card so that you can credit it easily if you
decide
to incorporate the material into your paper.
Some examples to compare
The original passage:
Students frequently overuse direct quotation in taking notes, and as a result they overuse quotations in the final
[research] paper. Probably only about 10% of your final manuscript should appear as directly quoted matter.
Therefore, you should strive to limit the amount of exact transcribing of source materials while taking notes.
Lester, James D. Writing Research Papers. 2nd ed. (1976): 46-47.
A legitimate paraphrase:
In research papers students often quote excessively, failing to keep quoted material down to a desirable level.
Since the problem usually originates during note taking, it is essential to minimize the material recorded
verbatim (Lester 46-47).
An acceptable summary:
Students should take just a few notes in direct quotation from sources to help minimize the amount of quoted
material in a research paper (Lester 46-47).
A plagiarized version:
Students often use too many direct quotations when they take notes, resulting in too many of them in the final
research paper. In fact, probably only about 10% of the final copy should consist of directly quoted material. So
it is important to limit the amount of source material copied while taking notes.
A. Activity 1. Write a paraphrase of each of the following passages. Try not to look back at the original passage.
1. "The Antarctic is the vast source of cold on our planet, just as the sun is the source of our heat, and it exerts
tremendous control on our climate," [Jacques] Cousteau told the camera. "The cold ocean water around
Antarctica flows north to mix with warmer water from the tropics, and its upwellings help to cool both the
surface water and our atmosphere. Yet the fragility of this regulating system is now threatened by human
activity." From "Captain Cousteau," Audubon (May 1990):17.
2. The twenties were the years when drinking was against the law, and the law was a bad joke because everyone
knew of a local bar where liquor could be had. They were the years when organized crime ruled the cities, and
the police seemed powerless to do anything against it. Classical music was forgotten while jazz spread
throughout the land, and men like Bix Beiderbecke, Louis Armstrong, and Count Basie became the heroes of
the young. The flapper was born in the twenties, and with her bobbed hair and short skirts, she symbolized,
perhaps more than anyone or anything else, America's break with the past. From Kathleen Yancey, English 102
Supplemental Guide (1989): 25.
3. Of the more than 1000 bicycling deaths each year, three-fourths are caused by head injuries. Half of those
killed are school-age children. One study concluded that wearing a bike helmet can reduce the risk of head
LAS 4TH YEAR 4TH YEAR
Page 25
injury by 85 percent. In an accident, a bike helmet absorbs the shock and cushions the head. From "Bike
Helmets: Unused Lifesavers," Consumer Reports (May 1990): 348.
B. Paraphrase the assigned research materials and references to you. Convene with your group mates to finalize
the Body of the Research Paper.

Summarizing a text, or distilling its essential concepts into a paragraph or two, is a useful study tool as
well as good writing practice.
A summary has two aims:
(1) to reproduce the overarching ideas in a text, identifying the general concepts that run through the
entire piece, and
(2) to express these overarching ideas using precise, specific language.
Include the title and identify the author in your first sentence.
1. The first sentence or two of your summary should contain the authors thesis, or central concept,
stated in your own words. This is the idea that runs through the entire text--the one youd mention if
someone asked you: What is this piece/article about? Unlike student essays, the main idea in a primary
document or an academic article may not be stated in one location at the beginning. Instead, it may be
gradually developed throughout the piece or it may become fully apparent only at the end.
2. When summarizing a longer article, try to see how the various stages in the explanation or argument
are built up ingroups of related paragraphs. Divide the article into sections if it isnt done in the published
form. Then, write a sentence or two to cover the key ideas in each section.
3. Omit ideas that are not really central to the text. Dont feel that you must reproduce the authors
exact progression of thought. (On the other hand, be careful not to misrepresent ideas by omitting
important aspects of the authors discussion).
4. In general, omit minor details and specific examples. (In some texts, an extended example may be a
key part of the argument, so you would want to mention it).
5. Avoid writing opinions or personal responses in your summaries (save these for active reading
responses or tutorial discussions).
6. Be careful not to plagiarize the authors words. If you do use even a few of the authors words, they
must appear in quotation marks. To avoid plagiarism, try writing the first draft of your summary without
looking back at the original text.
B. Activity 1. Rephrase the main idea of each sample in your own words, without repeating words or
sentence structure from original statement.
1. Right now, smartphones are selling like mas in the U.S. market, where sales jumped 84 percent
between 2007 and 2008, according to NPD, the market-research firm. Source: Segan, Sascha. PC Magazine 28.1
(January 2009). 54.
2. Currently the media devotes more attention to problems than solutions, to dramas than success. This has a
significant effect on peoples consciousness, leading to the belief that the world is a horrible place, failure is
everywhere, and the odds of success poor. Source: Henein, Amal and Morissette, Francoise. Made in Canada
Leadership: Wisdom from the Nations Best and Brightest on Leadership Practice and Development. Mississauga: John
Wiley & Sons Canada, 2007. 250.
3. Mathematics is known to be a hard subject, but having negative feelings about it, does not mean that one
failed to prepare before an exam or new lesson. The negative feelings one experiences toward the subject may
range from indescribable hate towards it, nervousness while taking the exam, fear of failing and/or not
understanding the lesson, anxiety, worry, nausea and/or tension. If all of some of these feelings are experienced,
then one is said to be undergoing math anxiety which may interfere in learning math (Mills, 2011)
4. Technology is so pervasive that almost all office employees need to be able to navigate the Web and to use
word processing, e-mail, spreadsheet, database, and presentation software. Most colleges and universities have
short courses to help students master the technicalities of these programs, and longer courses on technologys
changing impacts on howand how oftenwe communicate. If new communications technologies allow for
speedy, efficient management and transmission of information, they have simultaneously raised expectations of
the accuracy, quality, and speed of written communications. Source: Locker, Kitty and Findlay, Isobel. Business
Communication Now. Toronto: McGraw-Hill, 2009. 17.
