Here, too, you will need a substantive thesis , as well as a bibliography. Prove your argument, your thesis, by using topic sentences for each paragraph and evidence that proves those topic sentences. Give others credit when you use their ideas for evidence. Write aggressively, but with evidence. There will be two panels , one on each of the paper topics .
Papers are due the day of their panel.
Panel discussions will consist of 5 minute presentations on their papers. After the presentations, there will be time for questions. Everyone should have a 5 minute presentation prepared for the day of the panel. Failure to present will result in a loss of 30 points on the paper grade. Those absent for these days will have to schedule their presentations during the instructor's office hours.
