Research Question:

How does internalized stigma within the Latin community affect recovery from mental illness?

TASK 1

STEP ONE: Identify who is directly involved with whatever the topic is. There should be two distinct sides, not necessarily in opposition to one another. They do need to be DIRECTLY involved. One is doingsomething to the other. One is the DOER and the other, the DONE-TO. For example, forJane's research topic, there is the child who was abused (DONE- TO), and there is the parent who is the abuser (DOER). Identify the Doer and the Done-To for your topic in the box below (Jane would write "DONE-TO: child who was abused" and "DOER: abuser" in her text box.)

STEP TWO: You are going to generate some initial keywords that will move you toward your initial research. Fill in YOUR topic and YOUR Doer and Done-To and type them in the box below. You will have 4 lines of keyword combinations (it will look like the red text below).

Effects of (TOPIC) on (DOER): Effects of abuse on abuser

Effects of (TOPIC) on (DONE TO): Effects of abuse on child

Underlying factors of (TOPIC): Underlying factors of abuse

Why do (DOER)s (TOPIC): Why do abusers abuse?

TASK 2

STEP ONE: Using the four lines of KEYWORDS you generated in the previous exercise, enter the FIRST LINE of keywords into a regular Google Search. You will repeat the entire exercise on this page for all four lines of the keywords, but you have to do them one at a time, don't combine lines of keyword phrases.

After the list of potential sources appears on Google, skim over it to see if there are any articles that sound like something you would want to know more about. Jot down any additional words that seem like they could lead to relevant searches. In Jane's case, maybe the word "victim" shows up so she might jot that down.

Go all the way to the bottom of Page 1 of the Google search. There is a box outlined in black that will show many potential searches that are related. Take a look at them and see if any more possible new keywords show up and jot those down. Only record words and phrases that you think are related to what you want to explore.

STEP TWO: Go back to the top of the Google list and see if you can find one or two articles that sound promising (it's better to avoid the ad-sponsored listings). Click on one and take a look at the article. Get a sense of how credible the source is by comparing it to theSource Credibility Checklist. Please note that blogs are not necessarily off limits! If you find a personal case study scenario from a blog, it's possible that it could be an acceptable source, as long as you qualify it when you write about it in your paper. On the other hand, your paper needs to be more than JUST a series of personal-narrative case studies, so also try to find some analysis articles as well.

STEP THREE: If you have found one or two articles that seem to be credible AND have information you think may be useful, copy and paste the URLs in the text box below. You should have a minimum of four URLs (one for each line of Keywords).

TASK 3

As you take notes, BE SPECIFIC and focus on individual ideas within sources that speak to your ideas and claims. Do NOT summarize entire articles in order to "prove" that you read them. Do NOT be tempted to say "so-and-so was right" or "the writer made a great point," but ratherpull out that great point itself and focus on it. Your research paper is not a critique (good or bad) of other writers' work. Instead, you are looking for the reasons and evidence you will borrow (with proper citation) to help make your argument strong.

There are two steps to effective note-taking: RECORDING (noting relevantevidence, testimony, examples, reasoning) and RESPONDING (reacting to what you recorded in relation to the argument you are making).

TO RECORD:

Using thefollowing worksheet (or a similar version of it), first copy an EXACT QUOTE from your source material in the box in the left column.

TO RESPOND:

Reacting only to the quoted section of source material (not the entire article), write your response in the righthand column. This could be ananalysis(trying to find meaning) or aconnection/synthesiswith something else, or you could put it incontext (background), you couldcompare or contrastit to something.

DOUBLE ENTRY NOTE-TAKING

USE ONE WORKSHEET PER SOURCE - Don't put more than one source per page!

Use one quote per box. Note the page number (if applicable).

SOURCE TYPE (Article, book, video)_____________________ Online or Print_____________

TITLE OF BOOK (if not a book, leave blank):________________________________________

TITLE of ARTICLE:____________________________________________________________

PUBLICATION or WEBSITE Article appears in_______________________________________

URL (Don't use for In-text citation;make note of it for your Works Cited page):________________

AUTHOR'S NAME:_____________________________________________________________

QUOTE First read the article (watch the video, etc), and annotate it. Next,ONE-BY-ONE copy each item youannotated into aSEPARATE box below. Isolate each annotationyou are not summarizing the article!	YOUR RESPONSE TO THE QUOTE ONE-BY-ONE, for each specific item you annotated, respond to just that quote. What is YOUR connection to that specific quote? Does the quote support aclaim you are making?
Page # (If applicable):
Page #:
Page #:

Using ONE of the articles you have found thus far, record just one pair of notes/reactions that means ONE quote from the source, with your reaction to the quote beside it. Remember, you are only writing down ONE QUOTE and responding only to that quote. This is NOT a summary of the entire article. Be sure to attach the information for the source.

TASK 4

Now with the initial research to better understand underlying factors and effects your topic may have, try re-wording your initial claim and position. As you write your new initialclaim, please try to reflect underlying causes and effects.

Example- Previous Initial claim: Animal testing is unethical and should be stopped.

Re-Visited Initial Claim that reflects underlying factors and causes:Animal testing causes great suffering to the animals it is being performed on and much of the testing is unnecessary since results can be obtained through digital models that mimic the results, so animal testing is an outdated scientific method that equates to animal cruelty.
