Los Angeles Valley College America Constitution Research Paper
IntroductionPlease make sure your post is in the appropriate format, i.e. post directly to the site—no attachments will be accepted. I'd suggest working on your paper in a word processing program and after you have completed it, simply cut and paste in the box below. You can return to the assignment and this section as many times as you want without penalty up until the deadline. Look (again) at the system requirements and basic technical policies that are listed in the modules and the syllabus. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have adhered to these technical standards and failure to do so will result in you receiving zero points for the assignment.Watch the documentary, "Created Equal: Constitution USA" at: Link (Links to an external site.)The documentary is broken down into nine short clips--simply hit "next" after each section.In your own words, discuss and analyze the historical evolution of the Constitution in terms of equal rights. Discuss the trade-offs involved between majority rule and minority rights and individual freedom and social equality. Base your response upon your observations and insights gleaned from the documentary and the readings in various chapters (especially chapters two, four, and five) of We The People. The paper (of around 1250 words) is due inline by Sunday, March 15 at 11 P.M.Make sure that you have read and have understood the course plagiarism policies.The paper is worth a maximum of 150 points. Here's what the grading points system here equates to:A: 135-150 PointsB: 120-134 PointsC: 105-105 PointsD: 90-104 PointsF: 0-89 PointsCitation StyleHere's a quick and informative guide to MLA: http://www.easybib.com/guides/citation-guides/mla-format/ (Links to an external site.)Plagiarism PoliciesI have a zero tolerance policy on plagiarism. Please make sure that you have read and understood the strict policies and penalties regarding Plagiarism for all written assignments (Discussion Boards and Writing Assignments) in this course. This is outlined in more detail on the syllabus. If after reading this section you are unsure as to what constitutes acts of plagiarism then please contact me. Remember plagiarism is solely based upon behavior not intent—ignorance (whether actual or artificial) is no defense.Plagiarism is intellectual property theft. Plagiarism is a serious academic violation. If you are found to have engaged in plagiarism you will receive a zero for the assignment. Plagiarism is behavior not intent--please don't tell me later that you "didn't mean to" or "were unaware" of what acts of Plagiarism consist of. By turning the assignment in you are consenting to all of my stated policies on Plagiarism. Writing in an Online ClassRemember when you write and/or post in an online class you need to adhere to collegiate level style and grammar rules. I’d suggest writing in a traditional word processing program (MS Word for example) first and then edit and polish and shine before issuing your final online post. Poor writing will be punished just as much as good writing will be rewarded. In short, whether your written work is on paper or in cyberspace the academic expectations remain the same.Paper Writing GuideHere’s a writing guide that I've developed over the years that should help you plan and implement a successful project. Keep in touch and good luck!Referring to this guide will help you plan and execute a successful research project. For stylistic issues (footnoting, bibliography, etc.) please refer to any of the major college-writing guides. The bookstore has several writing guides available for purchase.a. Start Early. A research paper is an evolutionary process. In order for you to have sufficient time to reflect upon the question(s) at hand, you must allow yourself ample time to filter the material through your own cognitive lens. If you don't give yourself enough time, you will not be able to ponder and revise your original thoughts and hypotheses. Moreover, trained readers can smell an insufficiently prepared paper at seventy paces! In short, give yourself plenty of time and start early. Rule #1 about preparing a research paper: They always take more time than you originally anticipate.b. Break down the component tasks of the assignment AKA how to AFOS (Avoid Feeling Overwhelmed Syndrome). AFOS strikes all students at some time in their career. AFOS can be a debilitating condition--but it can be overcome. To avoid AFOS make a plan (this is not an outline) of attack that breaks down the various tasks of the assignment (collecting the materials; making an outline, revising and polishing stages, etc.). By apportioning the entire assignment into easily digestible tasks and components you should be able to avoid AFOS. One final point about AFOS: it is always better to apportion your time on the entire process into many small to medium time periods rather than setting aside several ”mega” sessions. This way not only do you feel that you are making incremental progress, but also you will be able to revise your original ideas better.c. Hunting and Gathering Stage. Before writing your first outline, make sure that you have conducted a sufficient amount of research. I know "sufficient" is a nebulous term, but you need to be sure that you have canvassed a wide swath of opinion, facts and information. Don't worry that after conducting your research your original ideas about the topic at hand change. In fact this is a sign of intellectual growth and maturity. At this stage, you are ready to begin pondering the writing stages of the assignment.II. The Writing Stagesa. AFOS Revisited. AFOS is particularly dangerous at this stage. Don't succumb to its degenerative lure!. Like in the prewriting stages, break down the component aspects of the assignment into: introduction; thesis; body of the paper; conclusion, etc. Remember this is a conceptual device that makes the process more manageable--but do not forget that all aspects of the entire final draft be fully linked in a logically consistent manner.b. The Outline. At this stage construct an outline. Where are you are going in this paper, why are you taking this approach, what materials are you using, how are they linked, are some of the questions that you must address in an outline. An outline is a perennially changing document of intent. You will probably make numerous revised editions of the outline--which is entirely appropriate. An outline serves as an in-progress road map for the writer. It does not have to make sense to anyone but you--remember that the outline is your own document. Moreover, the outline is a tool that guides the evolution of the writing craft. Keep your latest outline close by, whenever you feel that you have reached the writing stages.c. The Introduction. Most students slight this aspect. They shouldn't, as an introduction lays out the where, why, and how questions that you will be addressing throughout the paper. An introduction should be far more than just a regurgitation of the main questions that you have been assigned. In essence, a fully developed introduction acts as a formalized conceptual road map for the reader, much as the outline serves as your own conceptual road map. Personally, I write my introductions last. That way, I know the flow and development of the final product. Be sure to link the introduction, with your thesis, and the conclusions. This is conducted in what I call the polishing stages (see below).d. The Thesis Statement. Let's define what a thesis is. A thesis is a theoretically consistent set of linked propositions that underpin the entire body of your paper. In short, the thesis is the conceptual locomotive of the paper. The thesis statement shapes and molds everything that is to follow. Note that it should appear no later than page 2 of your paper.e. The Body of the Paper. This is where you make sure that you address all aspects of the research assignment. This is typically, the least problematic area in the writing division of labor. But be careful to fully develop all relevant facts and interpretations here.f. Conclusions. Your conclusions should not come as a surprise to the reader. The conclusions are the final opportunity to forcefully press home your conceptual and theoretical points that you have prior introduced and developed. Don't be timid here--at the same time don't go overboard. Think of your conclusions as a final summation of the entire assignment. Make sure that you have fully addressed the questions you set you would in the introduction and in the thesis. Finally, make sure that the introduction, thesis, body, and conclusions all dovetail one another--the paper at this point should no longer appear as a project of loosely connected parts--it should be an entirely seamless product.g. The Polishing Stage. After you are convinced that have finished the above, take a day off. That's right, take a day off. Then pick up the then final draft and begin to address the grammar and presentation issues of your work with a fine tooth comb (obviously you have not ignored these aspects up to now, but its now time to polish and shine the final product). Make sure that what you have constructed is forceful, clear, and concise. Don't use jargon, or "big" words that you don't normally use. Make sure that there are no spelling errors, no instances of poor grammar, etc. I believe that there is no separation between what are deemed issues of "style" as opposed to "substance." Step aside from your paper for a while (at least half a day) for hopefully the final time (at least for this assignment). Now read your paper aloud, or better yet, get someone to read it aloud for you, while you are present. Any final problems? No? Then hand in your completed paper.

For example: The Black Plague and probability. What is the essential question for the unit (real-world connection)? This is the main idea or major concept you want your students to think about and understand during this unit. It is the focus of your unit.See this link for help in writing your essential question. https://www.brighthubeducation.com/teaching-elementary-school/102262-writing-essential-questions-for-your-lesson-plans/ (Links to an external site.)

The fifth item is your choice.Description of Genre Types:Nonfiction text – Informational (factual) book, chapter, magazine or newspaper article (print or online), or website.Fiction text – examples include children's story/picture book (yes, you can use this with older students), short story, chapter book, novel, graphic novel, etc. As a reminder – fiction is “made up” so this may not be a factual (informational) picture book.Visual Literacy item(s) – charts, graphs, drawings, photographs, maps or any print or online medium that requires students to analyze information presented in a visual format. Students should be gleaning information from the visual elements rather than by reading text.For example:Students could analyze population growth of an area by looking at data presented in a graph or table.Students could make inferences about living conditions during a historical period by viewing a series of photographs.This genre may be in print or digital format but not a video. The purpose is to require the students to meet Visual Literacy standards - gathering, analyzing, interpreting information presented visually.

The Polishing Stage. After you are convinced that have finished the above, take a day off. That's right, take a day off. Then pick up the then final draft and begin to address the grammar and presentation issues of your work with a fine tooth comb (obviously you have not ignored these aspects up to now, but its now time to polish and shine the final product). Make sure that what you have constructed is forceful, clear, and concise. Don't use jargon, or "big" words that you don't normally use. Make sure that there are no spelling errors, no instances of poor grammar, etc. I believe that there is no separation between what are deemed issues of "style" as opposed to "substance." Step aside from your paper for a while (at least half a day) for hopefully the final time (at least for this assignment). Now read your paper aloud, or better yet, get someone to read it aloud for you, while you are present. Any final problems? No? Then hand in your completed paper.

Choose a theme/topic in your content area that you would like to address in a unit plan. (i.e., History – Overcoming Adversity; Science – Uniquely and Wonderfully Made; Music – The Poetry of Rap Music...).Your overall topic/subject for this project cannot be ELA.If you are an English teacher, you may choose a theme that fits a novel you are studying. For example: To Kill a Mockingbird and The Great Depression.If you are a math teacher, your theme should relate to a real-world application of a concept you are studying. For example: The Black Plague and probability. What is the essential question for the unit (real-world connection)? This is the main idea or major concept you want your students to think about and understand during this unit. It is the focus of your unit.See this link for help in writing your essential question. https://www.brighthubeducation.com/teaching-elementary-school/102262-writing-essential-questions-for-your-lesson-plans/ (Links to an external site.) Content Area and Literacy (ELA) Standards for this unit.You will find links to MS Content area standards If you are not in MS, use your state’s standards.https://mdek12.org/OAE/college-and-career-readiness-standards (Links to an external site.)Make sure your chosen unit theme/topic aligns with standards for your chosen grade – i.e., you can’t do a solar system unit if that topic is not part of your grade level’s science standards. Use this document for the ELA standards unless you are not in MS. In that case, use your state’s standards. You can link to your chosen grade from the Table of Contents.https://districtaccess.mde.k12.ms.us/curriculumandInstruction/MississippiCurriculumFrameworks/ELA/2016-MS-CCRS-ELA.pdf (Links to an external site.)You need to list at least 2 standards for each of the 5 key ELA areas: Reading Literature (for the fiction text,) Reading Informational, Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Language.

The Unit you create for your Final Project must meet your selected Standards. Text Set: List each item using correct APA format. Explain your rationale for choosing each item. See Vacca, Chapter 11 for additional information about Text Sets.Create a Text Set of five (5) items related to your chosen topic or theme.

You will be required to use at least three (3) of these items in your final project.Rationale – explain, in a couple of sentences, why you selected the item you did. What value is it going to add to your unit? Your reasons could be anything from content area information, literacy skills reinforcement, attention getting, reinforcing background knowledge…..You are required to include the following genres in your text set: Nonfiction, Fiction, Visual Literacy, and Media. The fifth item is your choice.Description of Genre Types:Nonfiction text – Informational (factual) book, chapter, magazine or newspaper article (print or online), or website.Fiction text – examples include children's story/picture book (yes, you can use this with older students), short story, chapter book, novel, graphic novel, etc. As a reminder – fiction is “made up” so this may not be a factual (informational) picture book.Visual Literacy item(s) – charts, graphs, drawings, photographs, maps or any print or online medium that requires students to analyze information presented in a visual format. Students should be gleaning information from the visual elements rather than by reading text.For example:Students could analyze population growth of an area by looking at data presented in a graph or table.Students could make inferences about living conditions during a historical period by viewing a series of photographs.This genre may be in print or digital format but not a video. The purpose is to require the students to meet Visual Literacy standards - gathering, analyzing, interpreting information presented visually.
