Researching a complex process
Assignment: Research a complex process, and present to your class the steps in the complex process.
Your assignment is to research and gather information on a complex process that you are interested in learning about. The intent of this assignment is for you to research a process you currently are unfamiliar with.
The complex process must have at least five steps.
You will present your research to the class and discuss in detail each of the steps in the process.
“Explaining a complex process is itself a complex process. Such an explanation requires close attention to a number of separate streams, as well as how the streams feed into each other. Each stream depicts a series of events. The streams do not operate independently. Often, the streams feed into each other. So we have to relate the streams to each other–and to the river–to describe the complex process.” (https://theelementsofwriting.com/complex-process)
Complex is defined as: (1.) composed of two or more parts or (2.) hard to separate, analyze, or solve https://www.merriam-webster.com/
Process is defined as: (1) a series of actions or operations conducting to an end or (2) a continuing natural or biological activity or function or (3) the whole course of proceedings in a legal action https://www.merriam-webster.com/
A complex process is a system of separate series of events or relationships, which somehow relate to each other and create a larger whole. (https://theelementsofwriting.com/complex-process)
The purpose of research writing is to gather, organize, and present information on a topic of interest. Types of research writing include: informational research reports, annotated bibliographies, biographical profiles, documentaries, health reports, and scientific reports.
At the heart of all research writing is a research question. Formulating open-ended research questions will help you select a topic angle to explore, write a thesis, and focus your research. Coming up with open-ended research questions is easy.
Begin by asking yourself, “What don’t I know about the topic that I would like to know?” Then, ask Who? What? Where? When? Why? and How? Questions.
You will present your research in Google Slides. You will need at least three cited sources for your research presentation. You will need at least eight slides, including the following:
Introduction slide: Must include your research question
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5

Conclusion
A picture is required on at least one slide.
