Step 1: Address the prompts below
Think back to the three possible research topics you considered last week and select one you would like to proceed with.
Narrow the focus of your research paper to a single social issue and argument about it. (Remember that simply writing about health care isn’t viable because we can write books and books about that topic. We want to narrow it down to something we can argue about in this paper, so what do we want to say about the topic/what small part of the topic do we want to focus on).
Think about your topic, problem, purpose statement, and research questions that will guide your research process
Use bullet points to fill in the following information:
- Topic:
- Problem:
Purpose Statement:
- Research Questions: you should have 1-2research questions per section in the paper–remember, you’ll need to examine the root cause/origin, historical moments over time, reasons to support your stance, and solutions
- Preliminary Thesis Statement: this will include your topic and your stance (opinion) on your social issue. The thesis will likely evolve as you move through the process, but it’s good to have a starting point.
Here is an example of what I’m looking for:
- Topic: Anti-Blackness (quite large so I will be narrowing it down in my thesis)
Problem: Anti-blackness sentiments have largely evident in the American education system and have permeated African-Americans’ educational experiences.
- Purpose Statement: The purpose of the paper is to uncover the historical roots of systemic racism in education in order to present readers with the root cause of anti-blackness in schools in order to uncover solutions to move toward racial equity in education.
Research Questions:
- When did anti-blackness originate? (this addresses the origin/root cause section)
What led to anti-blackness as we know it today? (this addresses the historical moments over time section)
- What are the consequences of anti-blackness? (this addresses the argument section)
What are possible solutions that will move this country toward racial equity? (this addresses the solution section)
- Preliminary Thesis Statement: Anti-blackness and white supremacy have created racial disparities our educational systems, which has negatively impacted African Americans’ experiences and resulted in resounding trauma. We must examine history in order to being repairing these inequities..
**Note: notice the way that my thesis is focused specifically on education rather than anti-blackness or racism in general. If you are writing about anti-blackness, you may not use my thesis statement here–you must write one in your own words.**
STEP 2 (DUE FRIDAY): PEER RESPONSES
Once you have written your responses, you are to respond to two of your peers’ posts in at least 150 words each .
- STEP 1 (Part 2)- this will help you out with part one
MY THESIS:
- In this essay, the debate between Black Lives Matter and All Lives Matter is analyzed. It is argued that while All Lives Matter proponents advocate for inclusivity, their approach often fails to take into account the systemic racism and historical injustices that Black communities have faced, which shows the need for a more nuanced understanding of racial inequality and targeted solutions to the systemic problems that affect Black lives.
What my teacher suggested, I want you to change the thesis to the way she wants it based on her response to it.
- Teacher-
“Thanks for sharing the focus of your essay. Your thesis does an excellent job of pinpointing the core of the contention. To further strengthen your argument, you might consider including examples of how the All Lives Matter response has specifically detracted from or obscured the goals of the Black Lives Matter movement. Additionally, discussing particular systemic problems and proposing targeted solutions could provide a concrete basis for your claims, making your argument even more persuasive and grounded.”
