Purpose
For the major assessment, you will reflect on your development as a writ

Purpose
For the major assessment, you will reflect on your development as a writer this semester by creating a video tour of your completed Argument Research Paper. This major assessment will allow you to reflect on your processes over the semester. It will show that you understand the formal rules and informal guidelines of some types of academic writing and research. It also allows you to demonstrate your understanding of the choices you made for the work on your research paper.
Assessment Topic
Create a 3 ½ to 5 minute video explaining the process you followed to develop your Argument Research Paper.
Instructions
Prepare
Review how to use Canvas Studio screen capture videoLinks to an external site..
Get your picture ID ready to verify your identity during the recording.
Reflect on your process for developing the Argument Research Paper. Consider what assignments and sources you would show as you explain your process.
Note: Your video should be 3 ½ to 5 minutes long. If your video is longer than 5 minutes, I will stop viewing your video at the five-minute mark, and any content that is presented later in the video will not be considered for the grading criteria. It is important that you organize your thoughts in advance so you can present your information effectively.
Record
Open the documents, pages, and sources you will need to show the viewer to explain your research process.
Start a Canvas Studio screen capture video.
Make sure your webcam video is showing in a corner of the screen and the lighting is good in the room so the information is readable.
Hold your ID up close to the camera. The name on the ID must match the name you used to enroll in the course.
Introduce yourself as you present your picture ID.
Present your finished Argument Research Paper to the viewer. Do not read the paper as part of your presentation. Instead, explain to the viewer how you completed the research paper.
Introduce your research topic and why you chose the topic. Present the argumentative thesis that you developed about the topic.
Highlight sections of the paper that you are particularly proud of and explain why you think they work well.
Highlight sections of the paper that you think need more work or attention and explain why they need improvement. (Note: ALL written work needs improvement. Don’t pretend that everything is perfect here in hopes of boosting your final paper grade!)
Show the viewer the specific sections of your sources that you used in the Argument Research Paper. Explain why you chose those sections and ignored other parts of the sources. (Have your sources open in separate tabs before you begin the video to streamline this process.)
Show the viewer work from your prewriting assignments that helped you to create the final paper. Explain how you used feedback from those assignments in the final paper. (Have your completed prewriting assignments open in separate tabs before you begin the video to streamline this process.)
Briefly evaluate and explain how you worked to develop counterargument and refutation to strengthen your argument. Show the counterargument and refutation in your research paper.
Conclude your recording with final thoughts about your successes and challenges with the research paper. Comment on why learning these skills has been important and how they will play a role in your future academic life and your future goals.
