WHAT TO WATCH AND WHAT TO READ?

ASSIGNMENT:

After you read the assigned text and screen the assigned documentaries, write a 3-4 page, double-spaced literary and filmic analysis. Since this is not a composition course, we do not focus on teaching how to write, but you must practice becoming a proficient, academic writer. Think about the following questions that will inform your development of a strong and original thesis that you will defend in the body of your analysis: What is racism? When did people begin to be categorized by race? Have ideologies of race and racism evolved throughout history? How do the films compare and contrast with your existing or previous perceptions of equality and equity, racism, race relations, policing and politics in Canada? In your analysis, be sure to give examples of bias, discrimination, and stereotypes that were present in the films. Consider what stood out to you, that the filmmakers introduced you to or excluded. End your Literary Analysis with a considered reflection, with references to the assigned text and films, on any concrete actions that you can take to recognize and combat racism in your daily life.

What interests you about the subject of this paper? Why is it worth writing about?

/in /by

Whenever you begin a major writing project, it is very important that you take the time to assess your writing situation. This first “Pre-Writing Exercise” asks you to do just that.

To start, re-read the “Checklist for assessing the writing situation” on pages 4 and 5 of Rules for Writers. Then, keeping the checklist in mind, carefully re-read the assignment instructions for Paper #1. I suggest that you read a printed copy of the instructions, which will make annotation easier. Read the whole set of instructions more than once if needed, and make notes about anything you find confusing, important, or otherwise significant.

When you feel you have a solid understanding of the assignment, answer the following basic questions about your writing situation for this paper. Type your answers in a new Word document.

1. Subject: What interests you about the subject of this paper? Why is it worth writing about?

2. Purpose: Why are you writing? What goal should your essay accomplish?

3. Audience: Who are your readers? How well informed are they about your subject, and what do you want them to learn?

4. Genre: What genre does the assignment require? What are the expectations and conventions of this genre?

5. Sources of information: where will you find the information you need? What kinds of evidence will be appropriate and effective?

6. Length and format: What are the length and format requirements for this assignment?

7. What are your deadlines? When will you need to start drafting your essay in order to meet your deadines?

Each of your answers should be at least two or three sentences long, but feel free to write as much as you like. The more you think and write about these issues, the better prepared you will be to write your essay.

You do not need to write your answers as an essay; numbered answers will be fine.

Determine what the source’s purpose (thesis) is, and how it arrives at that goal.

/in /by

For this essay, you will select one of the sources you have found through your preliminary research about your research topic. Which source you choose is up to you; however, it should be substantial enough that you will be able to talk about it at length, and intricate enough that it will keep you (and your reader) interested.

In order to foster learning and growth, all essays you submit must be newly written specifically for this course. Any recycled work will be sent back with a 0, and you will be given one attempt to redo the Touchstone.

The introduction of this paper will involve introducing the source: Provide the author, the title, and the context (where you found the source, where it was originally published, who sponsored it, etc.)

You will then go on to evaluate the source on two levels:
Credibility: Using the information in this unit as a guide, evaluate the source’s authenticity and reliability. Look at all the information that you can find about the source to establish the author’s (or sponsor’s) trustworthiness.
Usefulness: Using a combination of summary and analysis, examine the source on a critical level. Determine what the source’s purpose (thesis) is, and how it arrives at that goal. Examine its value to you and the project you are working on. How will it help you prove your own points? How might it come in handy to back up a claim (or address a counter-claim)?
Finally, you will include a conclusion which shows your final assessments on both counts.

Conflicting Viewpoints part 1

The selected topic is gun control. I support gun control. I believe that access to guns among general population should be restricted. This paper will utilize Elbow’s believing game to analyze the opposing side.
The website offers three opposing arguments for gun support. The first reason is that the right to own guns is granted by the U.S. Constitution. In particular, the Second Amendment the Constitution protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms. This view is interesting because it traces the issue back to the time when the nation was created. If I believed this view, I would notice that our Constitution is very important for regulating our life. This idea might be true if we accept that guns are important for having a free state.
The second opposing argument is that being able to own a gun reduces public crime. The second reason is helpful because it demonstrates that gun controls laws are more dangerous for crimes than allowing gun ownership. If I believed this reason, I would notice that it is actually safer on the streets when everyone is allowed to own a gun. This reason might be true if we accept that these studies were rigid and valid.
The third opposing argument is that gun ownership increases people’s perception of safety. The third reason is interesting because it focuses on intangible things, such as people’s feelings and mood. If I believed this reason, I would notice that being allowed to own a gun makes people feel safe for their lives. This reason might be true under the conditions that owning a gun is the major way to protect oneself.
To sum up, applying the believing game to the three con reasons on gun control has increased my understanding of the opposing view.
