Most of the four or five sources you will use in this paper will be from ROH , but you are required to use at least one source for your paper that comes from outside this text. Keep in mind that for this paper, I will be making comments on the rough draft rather than the final version and returning these drafts to you the following class day. You will only benefit from my comments if you turn in a rough draft that demonstrates a serious effort to meet the expectations of the assignment. For your paper, pick one of the following topics. While you will find these topic questions sufficiently general to invite a wide variety of responses, you have both the freedom and the responsibility to limit and define the scope of your paper in a narrow and arguable thesis of your own choosing.
Sources can be from the internet, magazines, books, or newspapers.
Whatever your students choose, ask for a highlighted photocopy of the materials they have paraphrased or quoted. We want them to research a topic of interest to them, but we also want the research to be controlled and relevant to issues raised in ROH and in the packet of readings. That is, you would devise your Paper 4 topics from chapters other than the ones on education, fashion and family. We think students should be challenged to think critically about new information. We would not, however, prohibit you from allowing students to revisit an old topic.
