The Research Essay
Assignment Goal: The goal of this assignment is to create an eight-page research essay that contains an argument and several kinds of sources for evidence.
Assignment Description:
The research essay will revise one of your two essays. You will incorporate research to support your points and your revised thesis. Students must find:
* one academic sources (journals, peer-reviewed)
* two visual sources (photograph, video)
* two non-academic sources
* one primary source
These sources will make up the bulk of the additional pages, and demonstrate to the professor that the student can do research, integrate research, frame research, and cite that research.
Future Classes
We will discuss:
- incorporate visual evidence
- learn how to find the ways to cite non-book sources in the essay
- discuss the challenges of evaluating and framing outside information
