Affirmative action

1. Read the two short texts found in the book at the end of Chapter 1 – on Affirmative Action (this will help you familiarize yourself with the topic and language used to discuss the issue).

2. Look up/Search for the official USA Government definition/explanation of Affirmative Action.  It will be absolutely essential that you include the correct definition in your  paper, and address the issue based in the facts of the program. Be sure that the source you cite has a web address that ends in .gov. It will count as your “Academic Source”.

3. Look up/Search for a news article, or other popular culture source (blog, YouTube video, magazine article) on Affirmative Action, how it works, and who it benefits. Also think critically about whether or not the source is likely to express a political bias. If you believe the source might be biased, keep looking. 

4. Write a 3-5 page paper taking a clear position on affirmative action – this does not mean I want you to tell me your opinion of AA. I want you to research the issue, and base your argument in evidence. You must cite at least three sources in the text of your paper, and in a works cited page (1 textbook article, 1 Academic Source, 1 Pop-culture source).

5. Include a works cited page. MLA or APA style are both fine. Use Purdueowl.com to locate MLA or APA “style guides” for help with citation.

***. I will be looking for and grading these based on A. Evidence of personal voice (voice is not the same as opinion – I want to “hear” you speaking to me) in the writing, B. Critical assessment of the provided material, C. Logical consistency of the position taken.
