Create and support an original thesis--an arguable

Reference no: EM133720731

Assignment: Using a minimum of eight sources (include three scholarly journals, one or more "naysayer" opposing view sources, and two primary sources), create and support an original thesis--an arguable proposition-on your chosen topic.

The argument may be prescriptive or descriptive (or some combination), but it should be structured to inform and persuade your specific audience. Ideally, your paper will demonstrate an awareness of historiographical and rhetorical aspects of your topic--in other words, how the topic has been portrayed (including visuals and symbols), written about, and perceived by various audiences.

NOTE: The final paper should not be a simple "objective" report, random exploration of your topic, or collection of facts; but rather an analysis of your issue. Factual evidence must be used to support your thesis directly (presenting your case) and indirectly (characterizing / refuting opposing views and possible objections to your reasoning-usually about 10% of the paper). Use MLA documentation, see the DPU Guide and model papers to help. Raise specific questions in our draft critiques, and of course feel free to ask me for help / feedback as well-and don't forget the WRITING CENTER!

Length: 10+ pages double-spaced, standard college format w/1" margins--(3000) words + Works Cited

Grade: The final project is the major element in the final

PORTFOLIO, per syllabus. The portfolio grade will be based on the quality of the finished product/s (effort / participation is amply credited elsewhere).

Again, MLA documentation is required. Sources will be checked; plagiarism--cheating of any kind--will be dealt with according to DePaul's academic integrity policy. Save all notes and drafts of your work until you receive a final grade.
