For this assignment, you will write an 6-8 page (2,000-2,500 words) research essay. The objective in developing this inquiry-based research essay is probably not like other research essays with which you may be familiar. In an inquiry-based essay, the development of a research question is the cornerstone of the essay, providing a guideline for you to follow your research wherever the information takes you. The careful formulation of a solid research question about your topic is crucial to ensure your inquiry will be effective. Once you have developed a question–and that question has been approved by your instructor–you’ll conduct research that will help you answer it.Format:In order to answer that question, you will identify a source, either popular (such as a blog, or media, like Buzzfeed), formal (such as The New York Times) or academic (such as a scholarly article) to serve as a model for the essay you are writing. Your essay will take on the general shape and contours of that model essay. In class, you’ll perform a rhetorical analysis of your source article–its rhetorical situation, author, audience, tone, purpose, genre, medium, stance and language–as a way to mimic these aspects in the essay that you’ll write. Since each student’s model essay is unique, the essays each of you write will be different. Although all of the essays will be some version of a research essay, some will argue for particular positions, some will be explanatory or investigative in nature, and some will be intended to inform. Your sub-genre’s conventions–where the thesis goes and how it’s worded, how the claim/support structure is arranged, its visual presentation, and how it concludes–will determine, but not dictate, the arrangement of your own essay. Genres are socially agreed up methods of arrangement, but they’re flexible.Once your research question is finalized, you will look for information that will help you explore and, perhaps, answer your question. Your aim here will be to make use of the research that you discover to help you to shape your essay. To do that, you’ll need to find a variety of sources that are relevant to your topic and read them carefully enough that you’ll be able to summarize their main points for use in your essay. You’ll want to be sure that you’ve included at least one opposing point of view.The following types of research must be incorporated into your essay:

  • At least 2 academic sources
  • At least 2 popular media sources
  • At least 2 first-person account or experience of oppression and resistance, relating to your topic from you or an outside source

Important to this essay is my research question and what this essay should be based on: How does virtual reality therapy help patients with pain management?

Also at the bottom I will leave you something that may help you, but be careful, this essay should not be a rhetorical analysis. 

Research Proposal - Due 11/6Research Proposal:

  • The research proposal should be about one to two pages, double spaced. It should identify the specific, final research question that you determine based on your initial exploration/research. Your proposal should discuss the same ideas as the topic, but should be a more finely tuned presentation of the question your research will explore. You will need to include:
    • Include your research question with some context. What is it about this question that is important?
    • Provide a brief overview of the key points of your question/topic that you are planning to explore.
    • List or elaborate the sources you have so far found, and mention how you plan on using them in your essay. The goal is to have six in total; you do not need to have found them all by now.
    • Briefly include the model essay you plan on using for your essay, and one unique feature of it.
