Call Of The Assignment
Write an interesting, informative paper about a person, an event, a political, technical, or medical development, or a social movement based on research.
This paper does not require you to take sides, nor to draw conclusions: report on something affected by time, or which develops through time. Try to be accurate in your writing, and interesting in your presentation. Tell a chronological story.
One way to find a subject is to read in sources about the year and month of your birth to get an idea of what was going on, and what has had some lasting influence. Another way is to research anything from the past you are interested in.
If you pursue an interest, research is easier and the resulting paper is usually better. This paper needs to be 1500 words, and will have parenthetical citations, and a works cited page of between 5 and 8 sources. However, In order to find enough material to write on, it may be necessary to find more.
To the teacher:
This assignment is in the syllabus at the request of program directors whose students need to have written a referenced paper and whose course of study does not include Composition 2.
It is not a paper with claim and support—it is a narrative.
This is not a paper designed to flunk students who do not, even on their final draft, know every jot and tittle of the Modern Language Association format conventions. Students learn by successive approximation, and it is more important to begin to introduce conceptually when and where a citation is needed, and the relationship between textual citations and the references on the works cited page than more minor points.
Five areas of evaluation:
Essay retells a chronological event of historical importance
Essay is correctly cited using in-text citations and contains a works cited page
Essay is correctly paraphrased and summarized (retold in your own words). Quote cautiously, and only when necessary.
Correct verb tense (past tense) and 3rd person is maintained
Essay is proofread and edited
