Assignment and Options for Creating Content
This will be an individual and group research assignment investigating the __**recent history**__ of immigration in another country around the World. You will be assigned a country to investigate and then must use an academic source (no Google, no Wikipedia, etc.) to analyze the situation and explain the context and outcome. The final project will be a group assignment. Relevant images, charts, maps, and graphs should be included as necessary.

Each member of the group should select and research 1-2 questions from the list below. The research findings must be recorded on a word document that includes an “easy bib” citation. After completing the research, the group will then create a presentation/infographic that incorporates all the individual research. Each student’s research project grade will be based on both the word document and the PowerPoint/infographic.

EasyBib: How do I cite my sources? How do I create parenthetical citations?

 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you're not sure how to get started with EasyBib, use this handout or watch this video.
 * **<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">Most of resources we're citing for this project will be one of the following information sources from the menu of tabs in EasyBib---please ask for clarification if you are not sure which category is the most appropriate: **
 * **<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">Note: **<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"> When it comes to citing databases, things get complicated. For most databases, you can export the citation either with one click (Gale) or with two clicks---please ask for assistance if you need help uploading a database citation.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Parenthetical citations have you confused? (Sometimes they are called in-text citations). Use this handout.
 * See the media center's MLA page for more detailed information and note sheets if you prefer to hand write your notes.
