This document provides instructions for students for their research work. It outlines the tasks for the day which include reviewing their research questions and choosing one to focus on, reading their assigned article with a partner and taking notes, and learning how to synthesize information by reviewing a model. Students are directed to use different colored pencils to identify questions and information in their research notebook to focus on for future research. The document emphasizes reading strategies and taking thorough notes to aid in the research process.

What question does it answer?
Synthesizing Model
Investopedia.com reports that Foxconn workers get paid $1.78 per
hour. According to Dateline, the total cost of labor for each
iPhone is between $12.50 and $30.00. That means that if Apple
sells the phones for a few hundred dollars, it is making more than
90% profit. Clearly it can afford to pay the Foxconn workers
more. Lois Woo, a Foxconn executive, told Bill Weir of Dateline
that the company would be open to paying its employees more if
Apple would facilitate that. Some people doubt that will ever
happen. The New York Times quotes a former worker as saying,
“Apple never cared about anything other than increasing product
quality and decreasing production cost… Workers’ welfare has
nothing to do with [Apple’s] interests.”](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/unit3lesson6-140208135442-phpapp02/85/Unit3-lesson6-14-320.jpg)

- 10. Lyddie Working Today Researcher’s Notebook: • Section III = SYNTHESIZE • Model to look at! • Read along silently as I read aloud
- 11. Lyddie Synthesizing Model Answers our question: What are the working conditions like in the electronics industry? Working conditions in the electronic industry are sometimes good, but often bad. For instance, there is some conflicting information about how Foxconn workers are treated. On one hand, the company says its workers are treated well. Steve Jobs, the former CEO of Apple, told The New York Times that even though Foxconn is a factor,”…they’ve got restaurants and movie theaters and hospitals and swimming pools, and I mean, for a factory, it’s a pretty nice factory.” (Duhigg) Workers say that compared to other factories, it is much cleaner and safer – and recently, Foxconn has limited the overtime hours workers must work without lessening their pay. (Huffington Post)
- 12. Lyddie Working Today Researcher’s Notebook: • Let’s keep re-reading! • Stop us when you feel the need to annotate the model • Where are paraphrases? • Where are topic sentences?
- 13. Lyddie What question does it answer? Synthesizing Model However, several incidents lately suggest that the working conditions are not safe. According to The New York Times, there have been two separate deadly explosions at iPad factories. Before these blasts, an independent monitoring group in China had alerted Apple to the hazardous conditions. Duhigg also reports that two years ago, many workers were injured when they were forced to clean iPhones screens with a dangerous chemical. There have been riots at the factory, and The New York Times reports that this discontent is because, “Employees work excessive overtime, in some cases seven days a week, and live in crowded dorms. Some say they stand so long that their legs swell until they can hardly walk.” But interestingly, some of the workers like these work long hours. The Huffington Post reported that Wu, a young employee, said she wants to work overtime. “We work less overtime, it would mean less money,” she said.

- 15. Lyddie Working Today Researcher’s Notebook: • Look at YOUR notebook • Need three (3) different colored pencils! • 1st color = circle a question & paraphrasing you want to research tomorrow • 2nd color = new question with info • 3rd color – new question with info
- 16. Lyddie Homework If you finish early, continue reading • Finish color-coding your notebook if not done in class • Independent Reading Book (15-20 min) • Project due………
