3 Harlem Renaissance Research Project Over the next few weeks, we will spend time in the computer lab and library for you to research a significant writer or artist from the Harlem Renaissance. Objectives To identify major themes of art and literature during the Harlem Renaissance To use the library databases and print materials To utilize MLA style to take notes and create bib cards To write a 3-5 page paper with in text citation Create a MLA style works cited page To create a multimedia presentation Your project will consist of the following: ± A minimum of note cards and 4 bib cards (60 points) ± An organized and taped outline (20 points) ± A 3-5 page typed paper with in text citation (100 points) ± A correctly-documented, typed works cited page (25 points) ± A Multimedia presentation (100 points) ± Work Ethic and Time Management (25 points) Sources: At least 4 required ± At least 1 print resource ± At least 2 database sources (note that the online version of the print source does not equal a second source) ± Final source is your choice of media Since most of the project will be completed in class, it is essential that you are present in class daily. In addition to being physically present, you must be actively working on your project at all times. Additionally, you should expect to spend 8-10 hours outside of class to complete this project including time to research, outline, and write your paper as well as to gather materials for your movie. Good luck and have fun! 3
4 Project Topic List You are to select ONE of the topics below. After selecting a topic, you will then spend the next few weeks researching the topic, taking notes cards in preparation for your research presentation. Each topic may only be selected by one student per hour. Topics are first come, first serve. Topics Aaron Douglas (Artist) Alain Locke (Writer) Arna Bontemps (Writer) Bessie Smith (Musician) Bill Robinson (Bojangles) (Musician) Billie Holiday, (Musician) Claude McKay (Writer) Countee Cullen (Writer) Duke Ellington (Musician) Henry O.

Brown (Writer) Wallace Thurman (Writer) William H Johnson (Artist) Your research and paper will be a solo project. However, you may choose to create your movie ALONE or with A PARTNER 4
5 Main Point Outline: Sample Outlines, Questions, and Slugs An outline is useful while you are taking notes, while you are organizing your thoughts, and while you are writing a paper. For this assignment, we will create a main point outline, which will help guide the research process to its completion. Please use the slugs on the left when finding information for each section of your paper. Also, pay attention to note card requirements for each section. Note: You do not have to have cards for EVERY possible slug under the main points. These are options. Obviously, because each topic is unique, cards you collect will be different. People Sample Outline Slugs for cards Outline Main Point Outline HR Research Project Name Johnny Smith I. Intro: Identity: 3-5 cards + quotation for hook ID (why known) Influenced by Role model Experience Forms Culture Criticism Analysis II. III. IV. What is this person known best for? What is this person famous for saying or what did other people say about the person? Section 2: External Influences or Past: 6-8 cards How was background/growing up influential?

Section 4: Critical Reception: 6-8 cards What themes reoccur in the perosn s work? How does the artist celebrate African American culture? What did critics say about their work then? Now? V. Conclusion: Impact: 4-6 cards Impact Influence on others Are there any awards, foundations, scholarships founded in the person s name? What impact or influence has the person made on others/the world? Your controlling question for this research is: What is the Harlem Renaissance and how does [your person] exhibit the traits of this time period? 5
6 Bib Cards: Print Sources How do I cite my sources? As a researcher, you must keep a separate, complete, and accurate card record of each source of information. You must make a bibliography card for every source. Below are examples you can use to make your cards. Be precise and accurate yes, periods and commas do matter! 1. Book by one author: Author. Title. place: publisher, date. MacDonald, Heather. Are Cops Racist? Chicago: Ivan R. Dee, Print. Print. Godwin, Kenneth and Frank R. Kemerer. 2. Book by two or more authors: School Choice Tradeoffs: Liberty, Equity, and Diversity. Austin: U of Texas P, Print. 3. Reference book or encyclopedia, no author: Juvenile Crime and Justice. Current Issues. Vol.3. Ed. Stephen G. Post. New York: Macmillan, Print. 4. Reference book or encyclopedia with author: Simon, Ron. Television: Censorship. Violence in America. Vol. 3. Ed. Ronald Gottesman. New York: Charles Scribner s Sons, Print. 6

10 Gathering Digital Sources IMAGES For your MovieMaker project, you will need to acquire images. You may scan these for free in the library. The library has many excellent print sources with beautiful full page graphics that are easy to scan. If you scan a picture from an art book, for example, document the image using #11 on the previous page. Very important! If you are citing an image found in Google Images or any other image retrieval service, be certain to cite the image in its original context. Do not provide the URL of the enlarged image - you must use the URL of the page where the image was originally shown. Rousseau, Henri. The Ship in the Storm Painting. Musee de l'orangerie, Paris. 8 Aug < You will need to include images (scanned or downloaded) in your works cited page. AUDIO If you have a composer or other musician, you will need to look for audio files as well. Freeplaymusic worked well for many people last semester. Of course, itunes is always an option. If you are low on cash, you might consider asking around. Many times, your parents, grandparents, or other teachers have a CD of the artist you are researching. For a CD Beethoven, Ludwig van. The 9 Symphonies. Perf. NBC Symphony Orchestra. Cond. Arturo Toscanini. RCA, CD. For an mp3 Beethoven, Ludwig van. Moonlight Sonata. Crownstar, MP3. 10
11 Works Cited: In MLA format, the bibliography or references list is referred to as a Works Cited. This heading should be centered on a new page and the list of references should follow WITHOUT SKIPPING EXTRA SPACES and should be aligned to the left of the page. Remember that your references list should be in alphabetical order and the entire document should be double-spaced. *It should be noted that if publication information takes more than one line, the first line is NOT indented and each subsequent line is indented. This is called a hanging indent. ***Notice that any works (books, databases, etc.) that I underlined in the bib cards is italicized in the works cited page this is preferred for printed material.

13 Note Cards Remember to make a bibliography card before you make any note cards Use a slug from your main point outline (main point keyword + subheading keyword) at the top of each note card Put one fact on each card. Use paraphrasing, summarizing, and quoting to add information to your cards. Remember these mean: Paraphrasing Summarizing Quoting In your note cards, you should use a combination of the three. 13
14 Write a bib code in the bottom right corner of each note card using the following guidelines: o If you have the author s name and a page number, write the author s last name and page number as indicated here: (Smith 24). o If you have the author s name and no page number (for online sources, interviews, films, etc.), write the author s last name: (Smith). o If you do not have the author s name but you have a page number, write the first significant word of the title (not an, a, or the) and the page number: (Guarding 23). o If you do not have the author s name or a page number, write the first significant word of the title (not an, a, or the): ( Harmless ). Rules regarding the selection of a significant word and the punctuation of title include the following: o If your first significant word is also in other titles, use also a shortened form of the next publication information provided (such as the book or entire web site title) with the other word. Example: If you have two articles that include a word, such as success, as the first word, then you can t use that word as the bib code. Success is Important in Time Bib Code: ( Success, Time 21) Success is Attainable in Secrets of Success Bib Code: ( Success, Secrets 34) o Bib codes should not include the entire title, only a shortened form (thus a significant word instead of words ). o Underline (when writing by hand) or italicize (when typing) titles of books, magazine titles, newspaper titles, database titles, movies, music albums, web sites, etc. o Use quotation marks around titles of articles (encyclopedia, newspaper, magazine, database, internet, or otherwise), short stories, poems, song titles, individual web pages, etc. Bib codes should not be web addresses: ( 14
15 Note cards should be set up like this: Slug Fact (a summary, quote, or paraphrase) Bib code For example: Telephone-Impact on society Over 99% of the American population relies on telephones every day. (Jones 320) 15
16 What is Plagiarism? Many people think of plagiarism as copying another s work, or borrowing someone else s original ideas. But terms like copying and borrowing can disguise the seriousness of the offense: According to the Merriam-Webster OnLine Dictionary, to plagiarize means 1) to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own 2) to use (another's production) without crediting the source 3) to commit literary theft 4) to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source. In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else s work and lying about it afterward. But can words and ideas really be stolen? According to U.S. law, the answer is yes. In the United States and many other countries, the expression of original ideas is considered intellectual property, and is protected by copyright laws, just like original inventions. Almost all forms of expression fall under copyright protection as long as they are recorded in some media (such as a book or a computer file) All of the following are considered plagiarism: turning in someone else s work as your own copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit failing to put a quotation in quotation marks giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not (see our section on fair use rules) Attention! Changing the words of an original source is not sufficient to prevent plagiarism. If you have retained the essential idea of an original source, and have not cited it, then no matter how drastically you may have altered its context or presentation, you have still plagiarized Most cases of plagiarism can be avoided, however, by citing sources. Simply acknowledging that certain material has been borrowed, and providing your audience with the information necessary to find that source, is usually enough to prevent plagiarism. 16
17 What is Citation? A citation is the way you tell your readers that certain material in your work came from another source. It also gives your readers the information necessary to find that source again, including: information about the author the title of the work the name and location of the company that published your copy of the source the date your copy was published the page numbers of the material you are borrowing Why should I cite sources? Giving credit to the original author by citing sources is the only way to use other people s work without plagiarizing. But there are a number of other reasons to cite sources: Citations are extremely helpful to anyone who wants to find out more about your ideas and where they came from. Not all sources are good or right your own ideas may often be more accurate or interesting than those of your sources. Proper citation will keep you from taking the rap for someone else s bad ideas. Citing sources shows the amount of research you ve done. Citing sources strengthens your work by lending outside support to your ideas. Doesn t citing sources make my work seem less original? Not at all. On the contrary, citing sources actually helps your reader distinguish your ideas from those of your sources. This will actually emphasize the originality of your own work. When do I need to cite? Whenever you borrow words or ideas, you need to acknowledge their source. The following situations almost always require citation: Whenever you use quotes Whenever you paraphrase Whenever you use an idea that someone else has already expressed Whenever you make specific reference to the work of another Whenever someone else s work has been critical in developing your own ideas ***You do not need to cite common knowledge or information that is widely known and available from every source. For example, you do not need to cite that George Washington was the first president of the United States. 17
