Project 2 | Tracing Conversations Over Time Early Draft: The early draft will be an alphanumeric outline that presents your main points with supporting evidence. Please include sources and evidence in the form of quotes or paraphrasing in addition to your argument. Intermediate Draft: The intermediate draft should be an 800-1,000 word academic essay that argues that a scholarly conversation about your chosen topic or historical figure has changed—or not changed—over a period of time, using two sources published between 2000 and 2010 and two sources published between 2011 and 2015. You should integrate summarized, paraphrased, and quoted materials from your four sources to demonstrate your understanding and provide support for your thesis. Final Draft The final draft should be a 800-1,000-word revised academic essay that argues how a scholarly conversation about a chosen topic or historical figure has changed—or not changed—over a period of time, using two sources published between 2000 and 2010 and two sources published between 2011 and 2017. You should ensure that your claim is fully supported with summarized, paraphrased, and quoted material drawn from your four chosen sources. The final draft will reflect significant revisions based upon instructor and peer feedback. Reminders:   Final drafts that have not been significantly revised will be lowered one letter grade. Assignments will be counted as late until they have been turned into both sites. Project Description/Assignment For this project, you will draw from and evaluate your six sources from Project 1, then narrow those six sources down to four (two sources published between 2000 and 2010 and two sources published between 2011 and 2015) that demonstrate change or lack of change in perspective over time. You will create an 800-1,000 word historiographic essay that includes the following: 1. An introduction that states your thesis (a claim) about how the scholarly conversation has changed over time 2. Integrate evidence from the research you did in Project 1 to support your thesis: Quote summarize, and paraphrase according to MLA guidelines 1. Include four sources from your annotated bibliography: 1. two sources published between 2000 and 2010 2. two sources published between 2011 and 2015 3. Make connections between sources (compare and contrast) to support your argument Purpose In Project 2, you will write an academic essay that argues how a scholarly conversation about your chosen topic or historical figure has changed–or not changed–over a period of time. Your audience for this project is an academic audience who is unfamiliar with the topic and changes in perspectives regarding the topic or figure. Project 2 is a bridge between projects 1 and 3. You will further develop your Project 1 research question to reflect the evolution of their research process as it moves from an annotated bibliography to an evidence-based academic essay. Assessment and Peer Review This assignment will be evaluated using the Project 2 Rubric (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and the guidelines listed above.
