Many people disagree about the appropriate age to allow children and young adults to use social media. Write an essay that argues your viewpoint about the issue. Develop your claim with reasons and evidence, and form a rebuttal to argue against a counterclaim.

Assignment: Research Paper
After reading the selections from Lessons 2 and 3, choose one of the following topics to find out more about, and write a clearly developed and well-formed research paper on your chosen topic.  Follow the writing process and be sure to cite two or more sources using MLA format.  Your paper should be written following basic MLA rules.   
Topics (Choose one and using your sources cited in MLA format, answer the questions below)
Using your source(s), explore the question: How did a diversity of views transform American society? Provide research in addition to your own analysis of some of the texts from lesson 2 such as “American Jezebel,” “Repeal the Stamp Act!” and “Declaration of Independence.” What ideas from the text reveal answers to the question?  Use both outside sources and textual evidence from the selections in the course to develop your essay.
Past literary movements continue to be influential. Consider romanticism, realism, and modernism.  How influential were ideas from those periods?  Is that influence clearly seen in the texts you have read? Explain with textual evidence from both outside sources as well as from any of the stories from lesson 3.  
Research and discuss this idea of money, status, and marriage during any periods you read about in lesson 3.  Explain ideas from any of those periods, using both outside sources and ideas from the texts from lesson 3 such as Pride & Prejudice, After the Ball, and The Glass Menagerie.  What were some of the social classes of this time?  What problems were caused because of classism? Do we experience classism still today?  How is that reflected in our society compared to how it was during any of those periods? Consider the types of jobs available to people, depending on social classes during that time.  How do jobs nowadays reflect one’s social status?
Research and discuss the role of women historically and present.  What were some of the abuses of women? Consider the role women play in today’s society, are they still subject to similar abuse?  Use ideas from the stories you have read in this course as well as from outside sources for support in analyzing women historically and present.

Instructions: 
In ONE DOCUMENT, compile your six poems. They can appear in any order but must be labeled by form in the upper left corner of each poem’s page (or first page):
1. Where I’m From
2. one of the six poetry forms we learned in class (lyric, narrative, pantoum, six-word memoir, haiku, rant)
3. another of the six poetry forms we learned in class 
4. a third choice from the list of the six poetry forms we learned in class
5. Poet’s choice: anything you want, whether you make up your own rules for a poem, choose one of the three unused forms from the ones learned in class, or explore a poetry form mentioned in the poetry slide deck.
6. a second poet’s choice poem
Before you submit your work, please address the following items:
Each poem should appear on its own page (all six-word memoirs on one page and all haiku on one page). If a poem continues on to another page, that’s fine.
LABEL each poem by placing the form in the UPPER LEFT CORNER prior to the title or start of each poem. 
Do not title six-word memoirs and haikus. All other poems should have a title. The title of the first poem has already been given to you: “Where I’m From.”
You have more freedom with poetry to experiment with layout, spacings and fonts. Just make sure they are legible and clear!
DO NOT CENTER POEMS USING THE CENTER FORMATTING BUTTON. If you want your poem to be in the middle of the page, LEFT JUSTIFY AND TAB IN so that each line starts at the same place on the page. When you use the center button, you let the computer format your poem for you! Centered poems look bad, too. 
Author’s annotations explaining or clarifying any of the poetry is typically not necessary and entirely optional. If you do feel compelled to include any explanations or notes, make sure that they won’t be confused with the text of the poems themselves. 
Poems that adhere to a form must accurately do so for full credit. Pay attention to form rules, syllable and rhyme or meter requirements. 
Any poems missing from this assignment will still be expected to appear in your final exam portfolio. 
If you need additional guidance for completing your poems to submit, please consult the poetry slide deck linked above and look at slides 16 and 17!

The paper is a research paper about how literature influenced the renaissance era.

Your assignment is to write a five-page historical analysis of Parable of the Sower we have
read that you have not already written about. Use specific examples from the chosen
work to support your analysis and a minimum of eight sources other than the text itself.
Use one of the two questions of Historical Criticism listed below to guide your research
and analysis.
Historical critics try to answer questions such as these:
1. What worldview was typical of the author’s time? What aspects of this worldview
seem prevalent in this work? Does the author seem to accept or rebel against
this worldview?
2. What events, issues, concerns of the time are manifested in the work? What
does the work say about life at the time?
As with other interpretive strategies we’ve studied, Historical Criticism provides a
framework for building context to help you understand and interpret a work of
literature. Here you use what you learn about the time the work was written to justify
your critique.
Process
While there are different strategies for approaching this work, you might
consider following these steps.
1. Re-read and/or review margin notes in the chosen work.
2. Construct a Foundation Summary of the chosen work using the elements
of summary listed below (if you have not done so already).
a. Who is the story about?
b. What is the story about?
c. When does the story take place?
d. Where does the story take place?
e. Why did the author write the story? (In other words, what does the
author intend to communicate to the reader?)
f. How does the story take place? (In other words, who is telling the
story or from what point of view is it being told?)
3. Convert your “why” for the work into a critique by framing it in terms of a
social, moral, or political issue (which you will then justify through your
historical analysis).
4. Choose one of the Historical Criticism questions to guide your analysis and
research.
5. Conduct an initial round of exploratory research to develop a better
understanding of time in which the work was written and the effectiveness
of the research tools you employed. If your research tools are not
producing enough credible results, consider adding additional research
tools and consulting with a librarian (try the 24/7 chat on the college
library homepage) or myself. Use the social, moral, or political issue that
is the focus of your critique to narrow the scope of your research.
6. Conduct another round of research until you have more than the
minimum number of credible sources required for the assignment.
7. Review your sources for credibility and discard any that may not be
sufficiently credible or that are noticeably less credible than your other
sources. Create a works cited page for the remaining sources. (You can
always delete any you don’t end up using.) This will help you create
accurate in-text citations as you draft your paper.
8. Ask yourself “Why do I think so?” about your critique and use several
reasons generated in this way to organize your support/ body paragraphs
in the development of your paper.
9. Refine your research and select several examples from the time period
that best justify each reason and your critique — that are most relevant to
justifying your interpretation. Conduct additional research as needed.
10. Select relevant, specific examples from the chosen work to illustrate the
support you have already gathered and help develop your reasons.
11. Write a first draft that is at least 2 – 3 pages in length and incorporates at
least four sources.
12. Write a final draft of at least five pages. This draft should incorporate at
least eight sources and parenthetical citations as needed. Include your
works cited page. Bring three copies to the final draft workshop.
13. Conduct a final round of editing and revising based on the feedback you
receive and using any additional research you conduct (if any). Submit
this revision for a grade.

English 101 Research Proposal and Annotated Bibliography
Instructions:
A good academic research question has these qualities: (1) it interests you, (2) it may interest your audience, (3) it has no easy answer, and (4) it is related to your reading. To formulate a question to guide your research, respond to the following prompts. Your grade for this assignment depends on how clearly and thoroughly you respond to each prompt.
1. For this assignment you may either find an interesting claim made in an article or short story that you read for this class, or I encourage you to find something from outside of class that you are interested in learning more about. This part should be 2-4 sentences. Remember from the syllabus the topics to avoid. (5 points)
2. Explain your interest and acknowledge your readers. This should be 3-6 sentences long. (5 points)
Example: I am interested in this statement because I have always been told that I am supposed to go to college in order to get a good job. I wonder why I should take courses that are unrelated to what I want to do. I think my readers will be interested in this topic because they may also be thinking about the purpose of their education.
3. Formulate a research question (or two or three related questions). (5 points)
Example: What is the purpose of a college education? (Why should people go to college?)
4. Think of at least three possible answers for each research question. You will likely think of more answers once you start doing research for your paper. (10 points)
Example:
1. Most people may think that they go to college in order to be trained for future employment.
2. Others may think that the purpose of a college education is to prepare people to be good citizens.
3. Another reason may be for a person to learn to become independent.
4. Some people may want to explore areas of study so that they can find out what their strengths are and decide what career they would like to pursue.
5. What sources will you consult? Prepare an Annotated List of Works Cited. (The list for your final paper will contain only entries for those you cite.) You need 5 total sources and annotations. For each annotation, provide a very brief summary of the source and how you will use it in your paper. As you prepare this list, be sure that each work is relevant to your research question. Each annotation needs to be 100-150 words in length, grammatically correct, and written in a coherent, unified manner. You may not use quotes in the annotation. THE ENTIRE ANNOTATION MUST BE IN YOUR OWN WORDS. (25 points)
