UNIT OVERVIEW


Unit Title: Research Paper


Unit Summary: The purpose of this unit is to reinforce research and writing skills as well as citation format. Students will understand the importance

of choosing a topic and reliable sources in order to develop a thesis statement and investigation. The format in which a research paper is written will be

reviewed, and the students’ end product will be a detailed and substantiated paper that is well- written and developed.

Approximate Length of Unit: 1 week

Primary interdisciplinary connections: Language Arts, Writing

LEARNING TARGETS

Standards: English Language Arts Standards: Reading Informational Text:

Content Strand:

Key Ideas and Details

1. Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text,

including determining where the text leaves matters uncertain.

2. Determine two or more central ideas of a text and analyze their development over the course of the ext, including how they interact and build

on one another to provide a complex analysis; provide an objective summary of the text.

3. Analyze a complex set of ideas or sequence of events and explain how specific individuals, ideas, or events interact and develop over the

course of the text.

Craft and Structure:

4. Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative, connotative, and technical meanings; analyze

how an author uses and refines the meaning of a key term or terms over the course of a text (e.g., how Madison defines faction in Federalists

No. 10).

5. Analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of the structure an author uses in his or her exposition or argument, including whether the structure

makes points clear, convincing, and engaging.

6. Determine an author’s point of view or purpose in a text in which the rhetoric is particularly effective, analyzing how style and content

contribute to the power, persuasiveness or beauty of the text.

Integration of Knowledge and Ideas:

7. Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in different media or formats (e.g., visually, quantitatively) as well as in

words in order to address a question or solve a problem.

8. Delineate and evaluate the reasoning in seminal U.S texts, including the application of constitutional principles and use of legal reasoning (e.g

in U.S Supreme Court majority opinions and dissents) and the premises, purposes, and arguments in works of public advocacy (e.g., The

Federalist, presidential addresses).

Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity:

10. By the end of grade 11, read and comprehend literary nonfiction in the grades 11-CCR text complexity band proficiently, with scaffolding as

needed at the high end of the range.

English Language Arts Standards: Writing Grade 11

1. Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of a substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient

evidence.

Introduce precise, knowledgeable claim(s), establish the significance of the claim(s), distinguish the claim(s) from alternate or

opposing claims, and create an organization that logically sequences claim(s), counterclaims, reasons, and evidence.

Develop claim(s) and counterclaims fairly and thoroughly, supplying the most relevant evidence for each while pointing out the

strengths and limitations of both in a manner that anticipates the audience’s knowledge level, concerns, values, and possible

biases.

Use words, phrases, and clauses as well as varied syntax to link the major sections of the text, create cohesion, and clarify the

relationships between the claim(s) and reasons, between reasons and evidence, and between claim(s) and counterclaims.

Establish and maintain a formal style and objective tone while attending to the norms and conventions of the discipline in

which they are writing.

Provide a concluding statement or section that follows from and supports the argument presented.

2. Write informative/ explanatory texts to examine and convey complex ideas, concepts, and information clearly and accurately through the

effective selection, organization, and analysis of content.

Introduce a topic; organize complex ideas, concepts, and information so that each new element builds on that which precedes it

to create a unified whole; include formatting (e.g., headings), graphics (e.g., figures, tables), and multimedia when useful to aid

comprehension.

Develop the topic thoroughly by selecting the most significant and relevant facts, extended definitions, concrete details,

quotations, or other information and examples appropriate to the audience’s knowledge of the topic.

Use appropriate and varied transitions and syntax to link the major sections of the text, create cohesion, and clarify the

relationships among complex ideas and concepts.

Use precise language, domain –specific vocabulary, and techniques such as metaphor, simile, and analogy to manage the

complexity of the topic.

Establish and maintain a formal style and objective tone while attending to the norms and conventions of the discipline in

which they are writing.

Provide a concluding statement or section that follows from and supports the information of explanation presented (e.g.,

articulating implications or the significance of the topic.)

Production and Distribution of Writing:

4. Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience.

(Grade- specific expectations for writing types are defined in standards 1-3 above.)

5. Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach, focusing on addressing

what is most significant for a specific purpose and audience.

6. Use technology, including the Internet, to produce, publish, and update individual or shared writing products in response to ongoing

feedback, including new arguments or information.

Research to Build and Present Knowledge:

7. Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question (including a self generated question) or solve a problem;

narrow or broaden the inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple sources on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject

under investigation.

8. Gather relevant information from multiple authoritative print and digital sources, using advanced searches effectively; assess the

strengths and limitations of each source in terms of task, purpose, and audience; integrate information into the text selectively to maintain

the flow of ideas avoiding plagiarism and overreliance on any one source and following a standard format citation.

Range of Writing:

10. Write routinely over extended time frames (time for research, reflection, and revision) and shorter time frames ( a single sitting or a

day or two) for a range of tasks, purposes.
