Assignment - Reflecting on Rights
Objective:
Review the scenario and your selected research question for all three of your course assignments.
Imagine you represent your company at a service organization dealing with one of these two issues: Addressing Economic Change or Engaging Civil Rights. Your supervisor has asked you to research information related to the history of one of these issues for your organization to help new employees and volunteers understand it better. Eventually you will make an oral presentation with slides that include your findings and recommendations. Your predecessor already started a list of sample primary and secondary sources.
Apply the first step of the critical thinking process to guide your investigation of your research question.
• Week 4-Knowledge: What are the focused questions that will help you investigate your research question?
• Week 5-Comprehension and Application: What have you learned from your sources? How do your sources connect?
• Week 6-Analysis and Synthesis: How will you use your evidence? What do you plan to argue?
STEP 1: KNOWLEDGE
you'll use the Knowledge step of the critical thinking process to figure out what information will help you answer your research question. Remember, in the Knowledge step, you ask yourself these questions:
• What are some more focused questions I can use to guide my investigation?
• What smaller pieces of information will I need to answer the bigger research question?
By breaking your research question down into smaller pieces and writing out what information you're looking for, you'll be able to find the evidence you need from your sources. Take a moment to review your source list and think about themes, events, or time periods that are part of your research question. Consider what specific questions your sources can help you answer.
Research question: What lessons from African Americans' struggles for equality in the past can help inform current and future civil rights issues?
What is isolationism in the context of American foreign policy?
