Cause/Effect Essay Rubric First Draft: March 21 (The first draft must be submitted to turn-it-in by the due date.) Final Draft: April 4 You will compose a Cause/Effect essay regarding a social, cultural or news trend. Please ensure that your topic is as narrow as possible. The essay will be a minimum of 3-4 pages and use a minimum of 3 database sources (no more than one Credo Reference source.) If necessary, additional scholarly, peer-reviewed sources are welcome, however 3 sources MUST be from the databases. Additional sources may come from gallup.com, procon.org or other scholarly sources. 1. Introduction and Conclusion A strong introduction will contain a clear thesis statement and hook and should preview the structure of the paper. The thesis should indicate a cause/effect structure. Remember, you may focus ONLY on causes or ONLY on effects. Please communicate your approach in the thesis statement and use the opinion + 3 point structure. A strong conclusion will somehow restate the thesis, wrap up without depending on simple summary and have some tie to the introduction. 2. Background information Provide a brief, but informative history/background of the trend. You might devote a separate section or filter this information into the body of the essay. Ask yourself what the reader needs to know to understand this topic. 3. Cause/Effect Focus on causes OR effects. Be sure to avoid process analysis and post hoc fallacies. Analyze the relationships between the different parts and sequences of your topic and how they interact with each other over time to produce a specific outcome. 4. Integration of Sources Depend on your sources when appropriate, but be sure to avoid patch writing. Ensure that all writing appears in your own words. Work to “space out” your sources. This means that you should not rely very heavily on one or two sources. All sources should be used in your in-text citations. Cite as evenly as possible to avoid bias. If you are unable to use a source in your paper, this is an indication that it is not an appropriate source. Omit it and find something else. All sources should be current (from the last 5 years) unless there is a good reason for using an older source. 5. Grammar/Usage and Flow Avoid grammar and MLA errors. Avoid awkward transitions between or within sentences and paragraphs ...

Essay 3 Analytical Research Essay 1st Draft Due: Friday, November 19 Final Draft Due: Wednesday, December 8 Length Requirement: 5-7 pages Audience: Consider your subject matter, then decide who would be the best or most likely audience for such a topic. Imagine that your audience includes experts in the topic you are discussing. Your tone and voice should be appropriate for someone addressing experts in the field. For instance, if you chose to discuss how the concerns of farmers weigh into the decisions of politicians, you might consider your audience to be farmers as a whole and others in the agricultural industry. On the other hand, you might want to consider politicians or the electorate as your audience. Determining your audience depends on who you think needs to hear your report. It is possible that once you get into the revision process, your perception of the appropriate audience may change. And ideally, your overall thesis should evolve as you gather evidence and revise your essay. Your Assignment: The goal of this assignment is to choose a topic of personal interest, then utilize the library database and other credible sources to provide a comprehensive, objective analysis of the research material. You will start your research very broad, and then become more specific as you locate sources. Determine your thesis statement based on the exercises and research done prior to this assignment. Your thesis should present an original viewpoint on your subject matter. This is not an argumentative or persuasive essay. You will utilize and interpret sources to support your analysis of the topic. Choose sources that provide supporting facts, definitions, or anecdotes. You should not use sources to make your point for you. Present your viewpoint without personal bias or emotional language, but instead with logical reasoning. Your essay must utilize at least 3 academic/scholarly sources. Other sources may be included, but they will not count toward the 3 sources required by the assignment, and they must be credible. You must utilize at least 3 quotations in your essay. Block quotes are highly discouraged. Format: MLA or APA format, Times New Roman, 12-point font, one-inch margins, double spaced. Number your pages and include a header at the top left corner of the page with your name, my name, the class name, and the date. Provide a Works Cited page for any and all sources referenced (not included in page count). Keep in mind that there are proper ways of citing your own primary research in both MLA and APA formats. And as always, please give your paper an appropriate title. Be creative! Objectives: This assignment is designed to address the following Learning Outcomes: The ability to write in a range of genres, using appropriate rhetorical conventions.

Rape culture leads to the widespread underreporting of sexual assault crimes. Victims fear retaliation or being disbelieved. If reported, a case often won't proceed due to lack of evidence. And the legal process is draining for victims, involving reliving trauma through repeated testimony and cross-examination. Rape culture myths affect how society and the legal system treat victims. Comprehensive reform is needed to support victims and properly address this prevalent issue.

What is an Exploratory PaperExploratory Argument In explorat.docx

alanfhall8953

What is an Exploratory Paper? Exploratory Argument: In exploratory essays, the writer (you) explores three sources that take a position on a controversial issue. All three sources can take the same side of the issue or two can take the same side and one can be on the other side of the issue. For example, take this issue: “Should there be stricter copyright penalties on the Internet? For instance, all three sources explored may argue that once a person uploads a photograph on, for example, flickr.com, it becomes public domain and no copyright laws should apply. The sources explored will argue on the same side of the issue, they all answer the issue question: yes. Yet, they will present evidence that will align with their different perspectives. For example, one source may take a legal perspective and the evidence will come from legal sources; another source may take a psychological perspective and their evidence to support their position will come from psychological studies, etc. In addition, the sources must come from a variety of secondary sources: scholarly journals, magazines, and/or newspapers, and the sources cannot be all Websites. The Purpose In the exploratory paper, the writer identifies three sources that take the same side of the issue; this means, for each source, their thesis statements/claims are the same. In order to help the reader (students, instructor) understand each source’s argument, the writer, (you) will include a brief 2-3 sentence summary for each source that includes the writer’s thesis/claim and the reasons provided to support his or her perspective. Also, this will include an analysis of how well the reasons and evidence support their position and their perspective. This requires specific references from the work in the form of direct quotations. This last part is important. Your own opinions are not expressed at all. This is not an argument paper. Advantages to Writing an Exploratory Paper Exploratory papers have a number of advantages. When you view an issue from many perspectives, you gain a greater depth of understanding of it and the various views taken. Also, exploratory papers provide mutual understanding and common ground for you next stage in argument: writing your own argument paper. These sources can be used to support your side to an issue or they may be used as an opposing view to your own position. After exploring sources on an issue, you learn about the other positions on this controversial issue. How to Write the Exploratory Paper The exploratory framework appears on eCompanion in the folder marked: “Exploratory Paper Assignment.” This handout basically lays out the format for each body paragraph. Also, there is a student sample essay that explores the issue: Should biotechnology be banned in U.S. sports? All three sources in this paper take the same side of this issue and argue that biotechnology basically destroys honest competition, but they approach and support thei.

Synthesis #1 Assignment SheetOverviewHaving the Critique u.docx

mattinsonjanel

Synthesis #1 Assignment Sheet Overview Having the Critique under your belt as well as quite a few journal entries must feel pretty good! Use this confidence as we now move into our first long paper of the semester, Synthesis #1. At first, see this paper as an extended argument you make about a particular topic using secondary sources to persuade your reader. Topic Selection I really want you to explore a topic that interests you and motivates you to think critically and write persuasively. Do not simply summarize a reading and claim that it is “right” or “wrong.” Instead, you must see connections between readings and extend the thinking here in a way you see fit. Look around the world around you, think of topics you have thoughts about in this and other courses, and also speculate about what would happen if you took the thinking of certain authors further in your desired direction. I only require that your topic must deal in some way with media and pop culture—the theme of our readings in the course thus far. We will spend time in class brainstorming topics as well as looking at sample essays. What is a Synthesis? If anything confuses a student when writing an essay like this, it is the actual term “synthesis”. Don’t worry too much about this term; instead, see what you are doing as arguing a position with a variety of sources to help you. What you want to do in this essay is show that you can both sustain a logical and persuasive argument, and control sources and their use to your persuasive end. Try to have your secondary sources have a “dialogue” with each other in terms of what they do and do not agree with in relation to your argued positions. We will practice this in class. As a matter of fact, we have been practicing this since the first week of class in discussion (esp. the lively discussion we have had in class). Additional Help with Synthesis It is very important in this essay to “Establish connections among readings”. The more you can have a “dialogue” between your sources, the more credible you will be as an author and the more importance you may place on your assessment of the ideas being discussed. This is an essay that may really be helped out by using some of the templates from They Say/I Say. I am not going to assign that you use them in a certain order, but I do think that the templates are excellent ways to start “saying something” if you are stuck. Review pages 55-75 in They Say/I Say for some directions. Required Sources I am requiring you to use between 4-6 sources to help your write your essay here. I would like you to use at least 2 from the readings in our 102 textbook . You may certainly use more. You may also bring in other sources you find on your own as long as they are credible and work in the assignment. Overall, I think you would be best served using 3-4 sources from the textbook, but I leave it open to you. Please use MLA Style for this essay as well as a Works Cited page. The Assignment Compose a 5- ...

Social Justice and Family Policy Dr. Williams Instructi.docx

pbilly1

Social Justice and Family Policy Dr. Williams Instructions for the Critical Essay Utilizing seven to ten outside scholarly sources students are to write critical essays (5-7 pages not including title and reference pages) documenting an essential issue with regard to the course’s influence on a policy. Students may also include official and organizational research reports as part of their allotted references too1. These essays are positional in nature (you’re arguing a stance using scholarly evidence), and will be written in an academic and scholarly tone. Arguments must be cogent, logical, and supported by facts (which will come from one’s research). APA citation and reference lists are required. These essays will be well proof-read before submission. Font: Times New Roman, 12. The essay should be double-spaced and numbered. Below are instructions regarding the format: 1. The assignment requires a traditional APA title page. Students may assign the essay its own title, be creative. Again, the title page and references are not counted in the page requirement. 2. The structure of the paper should be sectioned like such: a. Introduction b. The Policy (here you will provide an explanation/background of your chosen policy) c. Corresponding Issue #1 d. Corresponding Issue #2 e. Suggested Policy Change f. Conclusion g. References 3. The Introduction should provide a thorough roadmap of where you intend to take the reader; thus, here you want to establish a clear but brief outline of your policy of choice and the issues you plan to uncover—leave the rest for folks to see in the essay. This should be no more than a good thick paragraph. 4. The proceeding pages should be well structured by sections/headings which will correspond to remaining four points mentioned after the introduction. For example, for a policy one may choose sentencing, and then his/her two issues may be mass incarceration and reentry (you’d use those titles as the headings for your sections in the essay, or you can be more creative and call them something else, but the sections need to be distinct from each other). The information contained in each respective section will include a meshing together of your scholarly sources and your understanding of your chosen policy. This part of the essay will become more refined as one continue to engage in research. Remember, all points/arguments explained in these pages must be cited and backed by evidence. Your writing should be both informative and persuasive, which means you should be explaining to your reader the gist of the 1. These are the sources that will give one the statistics he/she would need to describe the scope of the problem/issue which will be covered in the essay. It is important that the essay has some stats in it to substantiate all arguments. For instance, for crime stats see .
