Request: at least 4 scholarly and 3 popular resources. Introduction: This part of your analysis is similar to the opening section of your memo. You should begin with context—or background information—on your topic: what is the occasion or situation that gave rise to the controversy? Don’t pad the paper with all of the information available. Instead, decide what is essential to the analysis that will follow. You might want to write this part last to make sure it effectively sets up the rest of your paper. In other words, make sure the information you include in this part of your paper is relevant. You will need to identify credible, scholarly sources for the information you included in this part of your paper. You must cite any borrowed information that is not common knowledge. Body: In this part of your paper, you should focus on the patterns you have identified during your research. You should organize your paper by patterns you identify in groups, values and appeals, not by texts. You must consistently integrate specific passages from your research to support and illustrate your claims. You must also incorporate all borrowed material responsibly and thoughtfully—from introducing your sources and quoting, paraphrasing, or summarizing them without distortion to citing them accurately according to conventions. Note: •Do not string together a series of mini-analyses of separate texts as if you were composing several abbreviated versions of your first-unit assignment. •Biased sources are not only acceptable but necessary for this part of your paper. You must identify at least six texts that argue a specific position on the issue you choose to investigate. Conclusion: Identify common ground to end your paper, summarize the current state of the controversy, align yourself with one position over the other and briefly explain why (to foreshadow your public argument). You will need to conduct the research and draft the paper before you decide how best to conclude. Length Requirement: (Minimum word count: 2000)Most students will need six to eight pages—double spaced and not counting the works cited page—to complete this assignment successfully. Minimum Sources Requirement: You must cite a minimum of eight separate sources in this paper. Two texts by the same author count as only one source. If you identify just two broad positions within this controversy, each must be represented by no fewer than three voices. The other two required sources could help you with background information.
