Aero Tech 2 Technical Research Project, Fall 2013
Note: Each student must obtain approval for their research topic from their Aerospace teacher. A penalty will be imposed for late work at each milestone.
- Following the MLA format for research writing in pages 17-20 of your student handbook, construct a 10 typed page research paper including title page, introduction page, text body, conclusion page, and references/works cited page. The topic should concern a technical aspect of the aerospace industry. You may include a maximum of one (1) diagram, photo or drawing in the body of your research paper, taking up no more than a quarter page of the paper. You should use size12 font and one inch top, bottom, left and right margins for the body of your paper.
- Construct a model or rendering of your project subject – this can be hand crafted or drawn, a digital representation, or a personally assembled kit model. Your model or rendering will be evaluated based upon accuracy of scale, detail, and the degree to which it matches the research topic.
- Develop a 3 minute electronic presentation regarding your topic, using tools such as Power Point or Prezi. You will give this presentation to your Aerospace class in the second semester for an additional grade.

AT2 First Draft Guidance
As you write the first draft of the research paper…
Introduction
1. Begin your intro with an interesting lead-in, preferably one that ties in with your personal connection/narrative or provides a fascinating fact, startling statistic, or arresting quotation.
2. Provide a brief overview of your topic that also provides a transition from your lead-in to your thesis.
3. Your thesis statement, which includes acknowledgement of opposing view and your supporting points, is the last 1-2 sentences of the intro.
Your points should be in the same order as your body paragraphs.
Body
1. Begin each body paragraph with a topic sentence and transition – NEVER A QUOTE OR EXAMPLE.
2. Support each topic sentence with facts, examples, statistics, and quotes.
3. Your first part of the body should acknowledge the opposition. Explain enough about the opposing view so that your arguments make sense.
4. Be sure to support each point with specific examples and quotes from your sources. When using quotes, remember to do the following (use the quote sandwich format):
a. Set the context of the quote before stating it – What is happening? Who is writing, and what are this person’s credentials?
b. Include the quote. Avoid using quotes longer than four lines. It is better to use the best part of each quote and paraphrase the rest. Remember to use quotation marks correctly.
c. Include the page number in the parenthetical references right after the quote (or paraphrase).
d. Explain the significance of each quote. Directly explain HOW it helps to support your argument.
5. Weave your personal connection – your narrative – throughout the body paragraphs.
6. Remember that you must use at least FOUR sources, and you need quotes AND paraphrases throughout your body.
Conclusion
1. Begin with a transition and a restatement of thesis and points.
2. Provide a brief summary of each of your supporting points in a sentence of its own.
3. End with a strong final statement that connects with the opening statement/idea – perhaps more narrative?
References/Works Cited
1. Give credit to your sources properly (see student handbook).
7. The works cited page should be double spaced and in alphabetical order. See student handbook.
REMEMBER:
1. Your paper needs pathos (examples involving people), ethos (words of experts or tradition), and logos (facts, statistics, case studies).
2. The only paragraph to BEGIN with a quote is the introduction; the only paragraph to END with a quote is the conclusion.
3. Use transitions among and within paragraphs.
4. Double space the entire paper – NO GAPS AMONG PARAGRAPHS.
5. No first person (I, me, my, we, our, us) or second person (you, your) EXCEPT when you are an example in the paper.
6. Your last name and page number must be in the upper right-hand corner of each page, including the works cited page.
