  • Title: “From Inquiry to Action: A Proposal for Communicating the Findings of My Research Project” Background: As a student, I have always been interested in the effects of social media on our society. I often found myself wondering about the

    I linked my annotated bibliography down below along with the six sources that need to be used. I also linked a sample of an Inquiry Proposal my professor provided. 
    INSTRUCTIONS:
    For your Inquiry Project, you started with something you were wondering about or something you wanted to know more about. You developed a set of questions and then conducted research to answer your questions. In the process, you may have shifted your focus, or developed more questions. As you found promising sources of information, you created an Annotated Bibliography to track your sources and what you learned from them. So now what? Now you’ll decide what to do with what you learned. This proposal will give you the opportunity to review what you learned and decide what to do with this information. Please format your proposal in sections as described below.
    Background (How you got started)
    In this section please provide background and context for your project. Write about how you got started, how you chose your topic, what was interesting about it, what you hoped to learn (what questions you wanted to investigate), how your inquiry focus changed through the research process.
    Discoveries (What you learned)
    In this section, you’ll focus on what you learned through your research. This is where you’ll report on the answers to your questions. If it helps to keep you organized, you might organize this section by listing your inquiry questions and what you learned or you might organize by identifying each source and what you learned from each. If you weren’t able to answer or fully answer your questions, this section might also include directions for further research. What do you still want to know?
    Relevance (Why this matters and to whom)
    In this section you’ll write about why this information matters and to whom? Why is it important to know? Why is it relevant (to you or to others)? Besides you, should know this information? Who would be interested in this information? Who would benefit from knowing what you learned? In other words, who is your intended audience? And how would it benefit them to know this information?
    Propose a Project (What will you do with this information?)
    As a result of your research, what project can you imagine? How could you communicate about what you learned with an audience? Since you are only planning a project and won’t actually do it, there are no limitations. If you want to educate others, you might decide to create an informative brochure or poster. If you want to inspire others to act, you might decide to hold a march or rally featuring a speech. If you want to communicate more broadly, you might design a website or a blog. If your audience is little kids, you might design a board game. 
    Describe your proposed project 
    Explain the parts or sections you’d include. For example, if you decide to create a poster, you would mention the images you plan to use, the data, charts or graphs, and the other informational sections, like “Why ____ is a Problem,” “Causes of ____,” and “What You Can Do.”
    Provide a rationale – based on what you learned and your audience, explain why/how your proposed project is the best way to communicate what you learned.

    Excerpt from 1984
    Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.
    Excerpt from “Shooting an Elephant” 
    In Moulmein, in lower Burma, I was hated by large numbers of people – the only time in my life that I have been important enough for this to happen to me.  I was sub-divisional police officer of the town, and in an aimless, petty kind of way anti-European feeling was very bitter.
