The first step in this assignment is to write a research paper (3-4 pages) about your topic. The purpose of this essay is to better understand the complexity and nuance of your chosen issue, and to then make an argument about what you think is taking place. The quality of your research paper will depend on the quantity and quality of the research you conduct, and you must use at least one academic research source (see research handout for more information about conducting effective research). However, it is not enough to simply share the information you have found, as you must think about that information, and come to a conclusion about what you think is happening with your current event. Your conclusion will then become the argument that you make in your paper, and all of your research will become the evidence you use to support your argument. Your essay will be graded on the strength of your argument and on your ability to use your research as evidence supporting it.
