Project 2: Research Paper

Fall 2017

[Adapted from our course syllabus:]

This research-intensive project may be completed individually, or in a partnership with one or more students. Students may opt to expand on their research begun in Project 1, or select a completely new subject area. The project asks you to find a relatively narrow issue to research, to evaluate relevant sources on the issue(s), and to respond to sources in an academic way. The project is methodical, requires a substantial amount of revision, and prepares you for academic writing outside of this course in any field you enter.

Rules:

Narrow issue (clearly define geographical parameters; relevant year(s); ages or other details)

Persuasive thesis statement, attention to consequences of readers' (dis)agreement, are required

4-6 pages of original, written text (traditional essay format recommended; not strictly required)

MLA format for in-text citations and Works Cited page

3 or more scholarly, peer-reviewed sources; OR 4 or more sources with concrete (author, year, place, publisher, etc.) details

Introduce, frame, evaluate sources deeply, thoroughly, carefully

Optional: Complete with one or more peers; try to divide work evenly
