Contemporary global issues project
Question Description
My topic for this project is HUMAN TRAFFICKING
Here is an example of a topic for this week and how you can relate this to my topic I am choosing:
“For my research project, I propose to consider the question of whether restored diplomatic relations with Cuba will introduce elements of capitalism in the economy, causing the island nation to move away from communism.”
Some other examples:
“Right now relations between the Philippines and the U.S. are strained and I would like to consider the question of what is going to happen to U.S.-Philippines relations.”
“Social media has empowered the masses and I am particularly interested in how open access and online sharing is shaping civil unrest and wars. So to focus my research a little more, I will take up the question: how is social media altering the nature of war in the 21st century?”
“Our text argued that the ‘new population bomb’ was one of four megatrends that were changing the world. I would like to dig into that subject a little more with the perspective of how shifting demographic trends are changing global relations. To focus my work, I will take up the question of how 21st-century demographics are changing international relations
PLEASE FOLLOW EACH STEP AND COMPLETE EACH ASSIGNMENT towards the finishing project
week 1. In this assignment, you will pick your first three sources that you will be using to produce your Final Project. By this time, you will have selected your topic
For this annotated bibliography, you will first put in a References page entry that is APA 6th ed. formatted. (You will be able to reuse this for your final project.)
Next, summarize your source in a short paragraph. This summary should not be your opinion at all. It should only be the information in the article or source. Please use the graphic organizer to organize the information and then use that to write your summary. (Don’t directly summarize from the article itself – that’s how people plagiarize [accidentally or on purpose].)
The final short paragraph is your reaction to the source. This is where you get to express your opinion of the piece as well as how this resource will fit into your argument.
week 2. In this assignment, you will pick your next three sources that you will be using to produce your Final Project.
For this annotated bibliography, you will first put in a References page entry that is APA 6th ed. formatted. (You will be able to reuse this for your final project.)

The final short paragraph is your reaction to the source. This is where you get to express your opinion of the piece as well as how this resource will fit into your argument.
week 3. For this week, you will pick five informational graphics. For your final product you will have a graphic element for every every slide in your presentation, but, for this week, you will need to find five graphics that have information that supports your argument.
To start, list the web address where you got your graphic (You will reuse this entry for your Global Issue Final Project.)
Then include the graphic.
Then include an explanation of the graph and how it will support your argument.
week 4.Complete your Final Project and submit here to check SafeAssig- I WILL SUBMIT
You will have a slide show of 12-15 slides not including the title slide and the references page.
Make sure that any/all information that is from other sources is cited using APA style.
Be sure all of your graphics are cited with a URL directly underneath. (These citations go in the slides, but not on the References page. This is true ONLY for graphic elements.)
You will use the SafeAssign Originality report to revise your presentation.
week 5. Part of this assignment is to seek tutoring in person at the Student Success Center or using SmarThinking (online tutoring). Here is a link that give you information about using face to face tutoring or online tutoring. So that is one attachment — either a picture of your slip from the Student Success Center or the report that you get back from SmarThinking.
If you are using SmarThinking, you have to strip out the text from your presentation. Here are directions for doing that:
1.) Open the PPT file.
2.) Hit the “View” tab at the top.
3.) Hit “Outline View,” which is second choice from the left within the “View” tab.
4.) This gives you all of your text from the PPT, running down the left-hand side of the screen. You can then highlight and scroll to copy everything and then paste the text into a Word doc for submission to the essay center. Or, you can paste the copied text directly into the essay submission form in Smarthinking.
The Writing Resources website is also available for help.
You also have to provide a Revision Plan. Look at this revision checklist from Roane State and make sure that your presentation has these features. In addition, look back at the project and the rubric: a clear argument, quality, academic resources, multimedia resources, graphics that add to your argument and in-text citations as well as References slides.
Your revision plan will be five concrete steps that you plan to take to improve your presentation (you will incorporate the feedback you got from both SafeAssign and tutoring) before you complete your revision, complete your voiceover and present your finished product to the class and the instructor.
This is the second document that you will submit this week for your milestone.
I am attaching the rubric and the project requirements. PLEASE COMPLETE THE WHOLE PROJECT. The above descipitions are to help you brain storm different ideas. I was planning on doing HUMAN TRAFFICKING. PLEASE ALSO COMPLETE EACH STEP THAT I NUMBERED AND SEND BACK TO ME IN DIFFERENT FILES NUMBERED WITH EACH WEEK.
