Essay 3 Research Argument (Synthesis)Assignment Object.docxShiraPrater50
Essay 3: Research Argument (Synthesis)
Assignment Objectives
Students will complete this assignment by writing an essay that makes an original argument that answers the research question that they have already developed and researched in the previous assignment (which was a Review of Literature). Students’ essays should 1) have a thesis statement 2) support the argument presented in the thesis by synthesizing at least four sources that the student has found and evaluated as credible or otherwise worthy of attention; and 3) summarize, paraphrase, and quote from these sources adequately to complete the task.
Rationale
The simplest explanation of this essay’s purpose is that by completing it, you will write an essay that answers your research question. Ultimately, however, the purpose of this assignment is to enter a scholarly conversation. By applying the skills in research, source evaluation, and synthesis that you have been practicing through the term, you will contribute to an existing conversation by presenting your own original argument. That argument will speak to the existing conversation by using sources to support your argument (either as evidence, by extending or modifying your sources’ arguments, or by refuting sources’ arguments). The most important thing to remember as you work on this essay is that you cannot simply parrot the information or arguments that you find in your sources. Rather, this essay will be driven by your unique argument answering your research question. Your essay must be a persuasive argument that allows you as a young scholar to enter and contribute to the ongoing conversation on your topic.
Assignment
In short, this assignment requires you to write a thesis-driven essay that makes an argument answering your research question that cites at least four sources to support your claims and show your thesis’s relationship to the existing conversation on your topic. Suitable questions might be:
What is the definition of the American Dream?
Is the American Dream positive or negative in its impact on American culture?
Is the American Dream real or just a myth?
Is the American Dream dead or alive?
Only one question should be dealt with in this paper. Any of these questions may be modified as long as they are approved by the instructor in the planning stage.
Suggestion for Process
1. Read and annotate the articles.
2. Identify a question that arises from your reading (either taken from the suggested list or modified from the list).
3. Determine your answer to the question based on your reading and experience and form a thesis statement.
4. Identify from three to four supporting points or reasons that back up your thesis.
5. Use ideas from four or more sources to establish the credibility of your researched argument.
6. Write a two level outline for a 5 page persuasive paper that advocates for your ideas.
7. Write a first draft of a 5 page persuasive paper that advocates for your answer to your research questio ...

MB-E4J (200 words minimum)
We have discussed both the introduction and the literature review. Throughout the process of writing both of these sections, you have no doubt gained a better understanding of the controversy that you are exploring with your paper. You probably have a better sense of your argument and what you would like your points to be for your body paragraphs.
In this reflection, introduce your professor to your project. Speak about the pro and con sides of the controversy, and present your thesis statement. Then, consider some of the following questions as you reflect upon the road so far. If you want to, explain a little bit about your process. What have you experienced so far in writing your paper? Was it difficult or fairly easy to come up with your design? Do you feel confident about your progress so far? How do you feel about your thesis statement? What would you like to do in revisions? What step seems the most difficult or the easiest for you?

Safety First: Open Carry Firearms on Higher Education Campuses in Arizona
Much has been made in the past few years about gun restrictions in the United
States. Proponents of gun regulation are in a constant state of lobbying for state and
federal bills that restrict access to firearms, whether that takes the form of more extensive
background checks on potential gun owners or longer waiting periods before guns may
be sold to individuals. On the other side, the National Rifle Association (NRA) and other
like-minded individuals advocate for looser restrictions on the sale and carrying of
firearms. For these supporters of pro-gun legislation, owning and carrying guns is a
fundamental right—even a civil right. While this national debate continues to loom over
the hot topic of guns, there are breaking news stories, especially within the last few
months, that bring this fundamental debate to the threshold of our nations’ colleges, high
schools, even elementary schools. Seung-Hui Cho’s massacre at Virginia Tech on April
16, 2007, is perhaps one of the more infamous school shootings, but there are others that
are perhaps more difficult to remember, like the deaths of 27 kill ...

Essay about - Racism - Instructions
Essay –> Argumentative Essay –
Imagine you are a new attorney with a prestigious law firm working in Washington, D.C., and you must write a three-page essay on the topic of race in America that will be submitted to the Supreme Court. You will argue whether racism is or is no longer a significant issue for most Americans. After all, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed over 50 years ago and Barack Obama was elected president in 2008 and re-elected in 2012. Because you have been hired to do this work, you personally may or may not agree with the perspective you will argue. In fact, you have no choice which side to argue because this will be randomly assigned to you.
____ Racism is no longer a significant issue for most Americans.
__X_ Racism continues to be a significant issue for most Americans.
Essay requirements:
The length of the essay should be approximately three pages, double-spaced, approximately 750 - 880 words. Please limit the essay to no more than four and one-half pages, or 1,250 words maximum.
Your essay should include an introduction, at least three body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Your body paragraphs should follow the enhanced PIE structure we are learning in this class. (See Lab 2 for the 7-step process to building a perfect body paragraph below.)
Use at least three trustworthy sources to support your thesis / claim. You may use the sources posted in the Essay 1 – Racism folder in Canvas. (The term source means an article, a study, a book, a video, an essay, or other similar writings that offer ideas and research related to a topic.) Feel free to conduct additional research as well.
Avoid the first person use of “I” or “me” in the essay. This keeps the focus on the issue and not on you. Avoid “I believe” and “I think” and other similar terms since your claim should be based on facts and evidence rather than your opinion. (See Lab 3 below for more on this.)
Avoid writing “you” when speaking to the reader. It’s best to speak collectively, such as “We can all learn from this example” or “We as a nation must take steps….”
Use formal style, tone, and diction. Avoid slang, casual language, broad generalizations, and contractions in most cases. (See Lab 3 below for an overview of academic language.)
Include at least three direct quotations from the sources and paraphrase other statements. (Direct quotations are when you place quotation marks around sentences that are word-for-word by a source. Paraphrasing means writing a source’s ideas in your own words.) Be careful not to quote a source for too long in the essay. Intersperse quotations with paraphrases of what the source has to say. (See Lab 4 below for a lesson in how to integrate quotations into your essay.)
Please include a Works Cited to list all sources cited in the essay. List the sources in Works Cited in alphabetical order. If you have an author name, list it at the start of the entry by last name, followed by first name. (See .

Avoiding Plagiarism and Managing Sources.
Most students are aware that plagiarism can be committed on purpose, but unintentional or
accidental plagiarism is also problematic. Keeping track of source material has always
been tough, and technology has made it easy to cut text from an online source and copy it
into your paper. You may have intended to modify or acknowledge it later but then forgot
where it came from. Omitting a citation of a source by accident is still a breach of
academic ethics. Here are four steps that you can use to help avoid plagiarism.
Step 1: Manage Sources Efficiently
Many academic professionals and students take notes and keep track of sources using
index cards. Write one piece of evidence—a quote, a fact, an idea—on each card along
with the original source of that data. This can also be done electronically, by creating a
single file for each source that you consult and housing all of these files in a folder called
‘Sources.’
Step 2: Use Sources Properly
Using sources properly as you take notes and incorporate them into your writing is another
crucial component of the research and writing process. You will not be able to cite your
sources properly if you don’t know which note is a quote, which note is a partial
paraphrase of another author’s point, and which one is paraphrased fully.
Step 3: Acknowledge Sources Appropriately
There are some general rules about what types of information require citation or
acknowledgment and what types do not. Widely accepted facts or common knowledge do
not need to be cited, but another person’s words or ideas (even if not quoted verbatim)
require a citation.
Step 4: Cite Sources Completely and Consistently
Historians and others writing about history have adopted the citation guidelines from the
Chicago Manual of Style (C M S). The citations are indicated by superscript numbers
within the text that refer to a note with a corresponding number either at the bottom of the
page (footnote) or at the end of the paper (endnote). Here are just a couple brief examples
of C M S-style notes:
Book: David Brion Davis, Inhuman Bondage: The Rise and Fall of Slavery in the New
World (New York: Oxford University Press, 2006), 73.
Journal Article: Alden T. Vaughan and Virginia Mason Vaughan, ‘Before Othello:

chaos): Only cite when you are using direct quotes. This should really only apply to the primary
sources that you use in your Unit and Final papers (I do not want you to directly quote me or the
textbook for your papers- it’s lazy and you are better than that). You will directly quote the
source in you Primary Source papers, but that is part of the analysis so there is no need to cite it.
When you cite the primary source, use whatever format you know (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.).

Library Collections, Voices of the Manhattan Project, and National Security Archive), and think about how useful these repositories would be to you if you were a
historian seeking to write a biography on the scientist Leo Szilard (pronounced SIL-lard) who helped develop the atomic bomb and also campaigned against its use.
1. Truman Library Collections
2. Voices of the Manhattan Project
3. Atomic Heritage Foundation
As you explore each repository, try to locate the following primary sources that you might consult to write a chapter about Szilard’s campaign against dropping the
atomic bomb. Each primary source is located in only one of the above repositories. Try your best to locate each source, but it is OK if you are not able to locate all
three. If you are successful in your search, try skimming through the sources you find.
1. The transcription of the oral history interview with Tom Evans, a close friend of President Truman’s, discussing scientists’ opposition to the use of the
atomic bomb
2. A petition against the use of the atomic bomb circulated by Szilard directed toward President Truman

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
