Instructions
Having examined the important problems in the U.S. recently, take a deeper dive into one of them. (I am choosing High cost of living/Inflation)
1) State a thesis statement explaining what the issue is and why it is currently considered a top problem.
2) Explain who the opposing players and interests are on the issue. Include interest groups, politicians, and media figures.
3) Detail how social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter have influenced the issue, including either promoting, downplaying, or even censoring the issue.
Several sources should be cited and listed in the references to support points. These include the book, lessons, news articles, and relevant websites.
The task is to research, create, and support a scholarly argument using facts and evidence. Personal opinions are unnecessary and should be left out of the arguments. State facts and back them with citations. Phrases like “I feel” or “in my opinion” should appear nowhere in the essay.
Please reference the attached rubric before beginning.
Grading Advice:
We are off to a great start. In terms of grading for all written assignments, I would like to offer the following advice:
I look for ample supporting details in order for you to demonstrate mastery when grading all written assignments. When writing for academic purposes, it is imperative to answer who, what, when, why, where, and how. This works for me when I write for academic purposes. I encourage you to write a detailed introduction and conclusion for the analysis in the future. The introduction and conclusion proves that you are able to convey, from your own perspective, the important aspects about the lesson. Within the body of the response, please be sure to include current events and examples by incorporating in text references that support your points of views. The body of your response should be in great detail from mainly your own views. Here, you are discussing facts and supporting facts with in text references, examples, and current events. Please use quotes as well. However, do not overshadow the body of the response with quotes. Use the quotes to support your position, opposed to using the quotes to make your points. Be sure to use at least 4 sources which in order to be scored in the exceptional range. The use of multiple and ample sources indicate that you have read a broad range of perspectives and that you are able to offer the class a broad perspective/increased view on the topic. Adhering to the above-mentioned suggestions will, in my professional opinion, really help you to reach exceed which is where you want and deserve to be.
