Module 1 – SLP

SELECTING A TOPIC/CONSTRUCTING AN OUTLINE/CHOOSING REFERENCES

A.Explain briefly how you narrowed down your topic.

1.Why is it important to you?

• TOPIC ABOUT WIDEFIRES IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

2.Include mention of any plans, programs, policies, and/or models that have influenced your decision.

3.Include, if any, references to the latest attacks and the impact upon the people, community, or region. 

B.Identify at least 15 references pertinent to your topic  (WILDFIRE IN CALIFORNIA). You can locate sources by using TUI Library Portal, Background Information, and Google. For five (5) of the references, provide a brief annotation for the reference (i.e., a brief summary analysis of the reference).

Remember that it is always a good idea to use primary sources rather than secondary sources. Therefore, it is best to avoid sources such as from syndicated news sources (e.g., CNN, ABC, FOX, and the like). Also, lay sites such as Wikipedia are handy for general information but not for an academic paper.

SLP Assignment Expectations

Length: This SLP should be 4-6 pages, not counting the title page and references.

References: At least two references should be included from academic sources (e.g., peer-reviewed journal articles). Required readings are acceptable. Quoted material should not exceed 10% of the total paper (since the focus of these assignments is critical thinking). Use your own words and build on the ideas of others. When material is copied verbatim from external sources, it MUST be enclosed in quotes. The references should be cited within the text and listed at the end of the assignment in the Reference section (preferably in APA format).

Organization: Subheadings should be used to organize your paper according to question.

Grammar and Spelling: While no points are deducted for minor errors, assignments are expected to adhere to standard guidelines of grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence syntax. Points may be deducted if grammar and spelling impact clarity.
