This week, you will be working on your final research projects.

Remember, your final paper must be 5-7 pages with APA in-text citations and a references page.

Week 13 Learning Tasks:

• Week 13 Discussion Thread. (Due Thursday and Monday) (20 points) Choosing Final Paper Topic. Exploring remaining APA questions.
• Review any materials you need to catch up.
• Work on First Draft of Final Course Project.

Dear Class,

The end of the course is in sight now! I know that this has been a tough semester, so congratulations on making it nearly to the finish line : )

I appreciate your work so far!

This week, we will begin to work on the final project. The first draft of your paper will be due in Week 14. The Final Draft will be due in Week 15.

This is the Final Project Plan:

Week 13-This week, you choose one of the two topics from the Final Project Outline/Assignment Sheet. This can be found in the Week 13 Content Folder. I am also posting it in this announcement. Later in the week, I will post more tips on how to write the final project.

Week 14- Next week, you will post at least a partial rough draft to the Week 14 Discussion Thread by Thursday.

Week 15-During the final week of the term, you will be asked to submit your final project to Turn It In Direct for Final Grading.

The final project is where you will connect your visual artist and your writer.

The only difference is that with this paper, your research question is always in place. There are two research questions to choose from.

For your final project, you will choose one of the following two research topics listed below.

Please make sure that you read the guidelines for the following project very carefully. Also, make sure that you read all of the APA materials if you have not already. I posted those a while back, but you will certainly need to use your APA materials for the final project!

Using the research you have already done, drawing on the information you have compiled and the writing you have produced in the first two essays, please complete a final research paper based on one of the following topics:

1. How did these two people (the writer and the artist) influence society?

2. What is the unique connection that these two people (the writer and the artist) share?
