Many countries strive to provide a top-notch education for their citizens, and each country has created an educational system that works best for their society. However, every educational system has its benefits and drawbacks. Research one specific aspect (see below) of an educational system and analyze how that aspect could lead to the success and/or failure of the students when they study in other educational systems and/or in society in general.

First Step: Look over the list of possible topics below and then choose one that interests you.
Second Step: Begin looking for sources on the topic you chose. Notice which ideas/arguments are similar or different, or if different sources/authors have overlapping ideas. By doing this, you will be able to begin narrowing down your research focus.
Third Step: Formulate your research question. (This will be discussed in class.)
Fourth Step: Find as many potential sources as possible for your topic. However, you should not use more than five outside sources so as not to overwhelm yourself.
Fifth Step: Write the Annotated Bibliography. (See directions on the last page of this assignment sheet on how to write it.)
Sixth Step: Once you have your sources and a solid research question, begin drafting the Background and Argument sections.
Seventh Step: Once your Argument section and your thesis are clear, begin drafting the other sections.
