profilekourtne2004

 

  For this  assignment, you will write a research paper on a topic of historical  significance to physical education.  You may focus on one area but you  are not discouraged to write about several.   The decision is yours.    In addition, your synopsis is to be submitted one week before the  research paper is due.  It should indicate the topic you are researching, what  journals, books, and reliable websites consulted.  It should contain a  few facts, events, and pertinent names (see Jessy Owens Berlin Olympics  1936).  Are you able to find enough sources?   If you want to go back in  time, you may look at Milo of Croton, a wrestler from Magna Graecian  (510 BC.)  You need to be ready to present your research paper in  class.  Your presentation should be 5-10 minutes.   Please create a  PowerPoint presentation to present your literature review.  Your  PowerPoint should capture dates, events, and stories of people who have  made significant contributions to sport, society, and our culture.   Conclude your presentation by looking into the future.  In what ways  that period shaped our culture, society and physical education.  I am  looking for quality work.  Plagiarism will not be tolerated.

Introduction and Problem Statement:

  1. Your manuscript will open with an introduction that presents the  topic researched and supported by a few citations. There are a few basic  questions your introduction should address: Why is this topic  important?  How does the topic researched relate to previous studies?   Also, what are the major implications of this topic?  State why this  topic deserves additional research? 

(Literature) Describe relevant scholarship:

  1. Your literature review should discuss relevant literature. The  scholarly description of earlier work in your introduction should be  able to provide a summary of work that is directly related to your  topic. Show a logical continuity between previous and current research.   How does the literature used add to an overall understanding of the  problem or topic? 
  2. The references cited in your paper do not need to be exhaustive but  should be sufficient to support the need for your review of the  literature. References should be accurate, complete and useful to your  paper. Start your reference list on a new page.  The word references should  appear in upper case and lowercase letters, centered.  Double-space all  reference entries.  APA publishes references in a hanging indent  format, meaning that the first line of each reference is set flush left  and subsequent lines are indented. 
  3. Conclusion:

You are now in a position to evaluate and interpret the implications  of your review of the literature.   What conclusions are you able to  draw from your investigation?  Acknowledge the limitations of your  review of the problem, and address alternative explanation.  

  1. Length requirement 7 pages double-space between all text  lines of the manuscript. Double-space for after every line in the title,  headings, footnotes, quotations, references, and figures.  Margins.  Leave uniform margins of at least 1 in. (2.54 cm) at the top, bottom,  left, and right of every page.   Use Times New Roman, with 12-point font  size.   Indent the first line of every paragraph.
