Essay about Project Learning

I think that research paper is a report. We have to combine our think and others, and find much information to support our idea, for example, we can go to library, interview several people and make mark search or search Internet. We also have right grammar and smooth text structure. I think that text structure can divide into three parts. First, we have to explain why we choose this theme, and choose the theme is very difficult and important, because we have to find that we interesting in and also we will choose the same theme like other. Second, we can use data that we find to prove our theory. Then, last, writing out general conclusion. The process to make the project that will be hard to do that if we choose the theme which many people have done. It is because we have to different with them and we must give the new conclusions or ideas. We also have to bring up many questions about our theme. Then, we must look for the answer to solve the problems, and we will not around the circle in the same way. I have read two reports at the High School Student's Website. That all discuss about men's skin care products. They just talk a phenomenon that everyone knows. They don't have any new things that will let everybody interesting in. Both them are all talk about something similar. It likes why and when have the man's skin care products. Then which products are popular by mans, and what composition does it have in the products. So, I think that we have to give some new composition in our project which also can make people interesting in, and not just keep describes a normal. I really feel that the project is so hard to me.

Essay about Project Learning

name: Lina

Reading one of the articles from the High School Student’s Website, I realize what the research paper it is, understand how we write the research paper, and figure out what we need the basic knowledge and skill when writing. The research paper is king of analytic, discussible, and critical report. For instance, if we choose a topic about what the stress is, we need to compile pieces of stress information, to analyze, discuss over and over, and to generalize them.

Yet, what does the content of the research paper contain? After we collect a great deal of information from the library, website, or newspaper, we have to give some evidence to prove that my research is correctly. We can give the survey and statistic to testify my research. Also, the result of the analysis can be an evidence for our paper. It doesn’t write what we would like to say but present the exactly data in the research like the market survey, statistic, or photograph. In the research, we can divide our content into four parts such as introduction, thesis, survey and analysis,summary,and reference. First, we can generally introduce our topic. Second, we explain what our research is in thesis. Third, we start to analyze our information by offering charts and give more evidence in order to prove our research which is exactly not just give our view point. Fourth, we summarize the research with our thoughts and end it in a good research. Last, that is important to do; we need to put the source of the information in the research.

Nevertheless, before we do the research, we have something to prepare. We need to have basic knowledge to our topic, and even we all are interested in the topic. If we don’t enjoy the topic, we can do a nice research paper. Also, when we write our paper, we need to generalize much pieces of information, and analyze them carefully. During we write the research, we have to read lots of articles and reference book. Then, we should try to compare those information what they are true or false. Finally, we arrange the research clearly. To be a qualified research, we need to revise our research again and again.

Project Learining Assignment

Our teacher asks us read the articles that are written by the others and are related to our topic in High School Students’ Website. After reading over the article, we have to reply some questions. I choose some of them and read them so that I understand what the article contains mostly.

First, what is a research paper? The research paper records what you research and what you think about the topic. It is different from essay that just writes. You have to do research constantly until you get a good conclusion. In the process, you have to study a lot of information from library or internet. Sometimes, you even need to make a questionnaire and interview people. Then, you have to arrange them and you may get a new conclusion which nobody has ever found.

Second, what is an elements does it contain? The paper often divides into four parts. First, it is an introduction. You have to introduce what the origin of the topic, why you choose the topic, and what the destination is. For example, one of the papers introduces Punk. They introduce its definitions and its history. They also explain their destination and how to do it. Second, it is the thesis. You can write the information that you already have arranged and analyzed in there. For example, many of the papers make a questionnaire and interview public. They make figures to reveal the results and analyze the results. Third, it is the conclusion. Through the research, you have to make a conclusion. You can give your view point that you analyze the data yourselves. You may give the new, creative conclusion. Fourth, it is the reference. You have to put the origin of the data on there. You also can put the questionnaire.

Third, what basic knowledge or skill do you need when writing it? I think I need good analysis to analyze the data; I need to skepticize something that looks like true. You also need better writing skills so that the others can understand your project clearly. When you begin the project, you have to read a lot of data about the topic to increase the background knowledge.
Finally, I wish our project will success and get a prize.
