This project will focus on the primary and secondary research that will help

This project will focus on the primary and secondary research that will help you to develop and support your big idea to an audience. The assignment has 3 parts: a pre-interview worksheet, a discussion of secondary sources, and an APA-formatted references page. Use the Reflecting on Sources worksheet posted in Doc Sharing and be sure to follow instructions carefully. The topic "Big Idea": Creating a community center for underprivileged children in Brooklyn NY which offers college services, mentors, and a place for children to go for free afterschool while their parents are still at work. Interviewee: Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter (Husband of Beyonce, Rapper, owner of the Brooklyn Nets) Part 1) Successful interviews are results of completing pre-interview tasks, such as identifying the interviewee, doing research on the topic and interviewee, choosing a location or method for the interview, and developing a list of questions.

This information will help build your confidence in interviewing, along with helping negotiate a difficult interview. While you are not required to conduct the interview and/or include the information in your draft and final project, preparing for the interview will enhance your knowledge about your chosen topic. Use complete sentences and Standard American English as needed. The interviewee you have chosen should be someone who can effectively contribute information to your final project; this primary research will play a significant role in persuading your audience to accept the ideas of change that you are proposing in the final project. Part 2) Writing at least one well-developed paragraph about each source, summarize, assess, and reflect upon 3 secondary sources related to your big idea.

At least one of these needs to present challenges and/or disagreements that you will have to acknowledge and address as you develop your argument. Compare and contrast the approaches these authors take towards this issue, and determine which sources will be helpful and why. Part 3) Create a references page that lists the sources discussed in part 2. The citations should be in APA format.

Paper For Above instruction

Creating a community center for underprivileged children in Brooklyn, New York, that offers college preparatory services, mentorship programs, and a safe afterschool environment is a compelling initiative to address multiple social and educational challenges faced by underserved youth. This project involves conducting primary and secondary research to develop a well-supported proposal that appeals to stakeholders, including local government, community organizations, and potential donors. The primary research component involves preparing for an interview with Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter, a prominent figure with deep ties to Brooklyn, whose insights could lend credibility and practical perspective to the project. Secondary research entails reviewing existing literature and sources that discuss community centers, youth development, and educational interventions to identify effective strategies, potential challenges, and contrasting viewpoints.

The first phase of research focuses on preparing for the interview. This includes identifying Shawn Carter as the interviewee, conducting background research on his involvement in Brooklyn’s community initiatives and his perspectives on social upliftment, and developing thoughtful questions that explore his views on community empowerment, entrepreneurship, and social responsibility. Crafting relevant questions will help elicit substantive responses that can inform the project’s design and advocacy efforts. While conducting the interview is optional, thorough preparation enhances the credibility and strength of the final presentation, especially by securing authoritative firsthand insights.

The second phase involves analyzing secondary sources. Three key articles or reports will be summarized, evaluated, and reflected upon. For example, a study on successful youth community programs in urban settings can provide a model for effective engagement, while addressing potential barriers such as funding or community distrust. One of the sources might challenge optimistic assumptions about community engagement, raising concerns about sustainability or unequal access. Comparing the perspectives of different authors allows a balanced understanding of the issues, guiding how to confront criticisms and incorporate diverse strategies into the project plan.

Assessing these sources helps identify which are most relevant, credible, and applicable. For example, peer-reviewed academic articles offer evidence-based insights, whereas industry reports might provide current data and policy recommendations. Recognizing disagreements among authors, such as debates over the role of government versus community-led initiatives, underscores the importance of framing the community center as a collaborative effort that combines multiple approaches. This comprehensive research foundation will support a persuasive proposal that highlights the necessity, feasibility, and social impact of creating such a community resource for Brooklyn’s youth.

The final component, the APA-formatted references page, will compile all sources referenced in the analysis, ensuring proper attribution and supporting further research. This organized bibliography enhances the academic rigor of the project and facilitates transparency, allowing readers to verify and explore the sources that underpin the argument. Overall, this research process will equip the project with robust evidence, insightful perspectives, and a strategic plan for advocating for a community center that could significantly improve outcomes for underprivileged children in Brooklyn.
