We are not asking you to simply summarize the readings. We are asking you to make your own coherent argument about the topic. Cite specific concepts, short quotes and examples from the readings as evidence to support your own argument.
Your paper should be 3-4 pages or about 1000-1200 words (8.5 x 11, double spaced, 12 font, 1 inch margins). Please pay careful attention to spelling, grammar and punctuation (see grading rubric attached). Remember that citations are required for both paraphrasing and direct quotes from either the text or lecture. Feel free to cite other books and articles as needed. Include a full list of works cited at the back.
Please submit your paper on the course website under "Paper Assignment 1" by 5:00 pm on Wednesday October 30th. If you have trouble submitting your paper online please email it directly to your TA.
