Description
Central Argument : Clearly state your argument in 1 or 2 sentences. You will spend the rest of your paper answering the following about your argument:
Support: You must support your argument with evidence. It must make sense. Tie up loose ends and cover rebuttals as needed. You will make a series of claims, each supported by evidence.
Structure: Be organized and structure your writing to best present your argument. Give an introduction at the beginning and a conclusion at the end. Edit your paper so that there are no confusing statements. A general format you can use in the body is:
Claim > Evidence** ; Claim > Evidence ; Connection ; Conclusion…. repeat.
**may be more than one piece of evidence per claim
Sources: Cite at least 8 sources in your paper. Include a works cited/bibliography page. Only include sources that are cited in the text in your bibliography.
Multiple perspectives: Clearly and specifically address biological anthropology and cultural anthropology perspectives, other research perspectives as relevant (e.g. psychology, medicine, education, archaeology, etc.).
Cross-cultural examples: Use at least 2 specific ethnographic examples for how people in other cultures do things. These examples need to be relevant to your argument and explain something about variation in human behavior and perspectives.
Formatting: use the format guidelines from the syllabus.
Length: no more than 3 pages. Short papers are harder than you may think! Aim for brevity and precision.
