CSA #2 = RESEARCH (In Three Parts)

Friends!!!!!

We are very near the end of our school time together.  We must complete the second CSA, which is research.

We are dividing the research into three parts, based on the types of research you must do find.  For each of the three sections, YOU WILL KEEP THE SAME ARGUMENT.  We will be working on researching, argumentation, and writing in all three parts.

What are you researching??  Here is your prompt:

Argue:  Which of the following pieces of legislation has had the greatest impact (positive or negative) on minority culture groups in America?

• Americans with Disabilities Act
• Brown v. Board of Education
• Marriage Equality Act (2015)
• American Indian Relocation Act of 1957
• Title IX (Equal opportunity for Females)

 This endeavor will take many steps - small ones to begin with.

1.   Basic Research on each topic.  Which one is most interesting, most critical, can you write well upon..........
2. Begin ACADEMIC research on your topic.  This means the first part of your argument is based in "Factual Information."  ( sites that are .edu. org. gov)  You may not use .com sites for this...................NOT AT ALL, SO DON'T ASK.  In this step, you will investigate the workings of the Act, the history behind it, details of it, who it affected and how was it effective?!  
3. https://plshs.plcschools.org/library
4.   Piece together the first 1/3rd of your argument.   
5.  Length requirement: Introductory paragraph with a thesis, one complete body paragraph, and a conclusion.
6. Cite your sources using MLA format.
7. Include the link to your article. IT MUST BE A LIVE LINK OR YOU MUST PRINT IT OUT.

PLEASE REMEMBER: This is fulfilling the research requirement.  Instead of writing a giant paper, we felt this was more authentic and near what your first semester college English course will be like.

This is due on APRIL 8TH AT 1159 PM.  Each part if a 50 point summative grade.

Do some research.  Investigate.  Make a claim.  Write well.
