Research Paper

Students will write a Research Paper (lessons 28– 61)

The following are some suggested topics for research:

  • Free Enterprise vs. the Command Economy
  • The Increase of Socialism in the American Economy
  • Why Communism Failed in the Soviet Union
  • Should the United States Trade with China?
  • Global Trade: Bilateral vs. Multilateral Trade Agreements.

The paper is to be persuasive; students should form a definite opinion and seek to defend their position. Students should gather facts from periodicals, pamphlets, books, etc., and incorporate this information into an 800–1,000 word paper. A minimum of 5 sources and 30 note cards should be used. (Refer to your Grammar handbook for how to write a research paper.
