Due May 9 conference week assignment


Topic Research Exercise and Conference -- 10 points   Due _________

 

  1. On one separate paper, please type the answers to # 1-3.

 

1.         Explain your topic in detail. What do you plan to cover? What do you plan to exclude, and why? What is the purpose (e.g. to analyze, compare, argue, find solutions) of your essay?

 

2.         What are at least three questions you’ll be looking to answer through your research  

            and in your essay?

 

3.        Identify your own biases and beliefs and the angle from which you will approach the material. What arguments do you expect to make, or what hypotheses do you plan to put forward? Are there a number of sides to the issue that you will need to present fairly? Do you have a specific conclusion you are moving toward, or are you undecided (and if so, what will help you decide?)

 

  1. Submit a started research log (with at least one item of research). Be sure to include works cited info, summary, and your response to the research.
     
  2. Bring in the above and a previous graded essay from this class to your conference.
