Last two weeks of Writing 2 2011

Writing 2 Tim Fitzmaurice Spring 2011
Final weeks

Final Project Essay is Due June 8th
The project includes a presentation and an essay. What you say in the oral presentation does not have to be the content of your essay.

The essay should be between 5 and 7 pages long with six or more citations from articles, encyclopedia entries, books, and or other media. Beware of weak (wiki-type) supporting websites. We want to use scholarly supporting evidence. I also encourage you to seek out interviews with people who k now about the issue.

The essay is based on your survey of an issue of violence in the community. You need to decide the parameters of the research question as you develop it for the group project. The oral presentation should give you more ideas about what needs to be included. The final essay is due during finals week.

Due Wednesday May 25th
Write a two-page essay using the film (“Lock Up Lock Down”), the book Violence, and/or your visit to the jail, in which you take a position and support your view with material from the sources we have. Three or more citations.
