For the final assignment, you will write a short paper (4-pages) in response to one of the questions below. You choose whichquestion to answer as the thesis of your paper. As a Gordon Rule Course inks to an external site., the final paper for this class must be thesis-driven and demonstrate critical thinking Action. or this assignment, you must create a thesis statement (your answer to the question) and use evidence from our course materials to support it.
OPTION 1: Culture
Why do you think culture has been such an important means of sharing political messages in Latin America?
OPTION 2: Latin American Women
What strategies have Latin American women used to establish a strong political voice despite the persistence of gender bias?
OPTION 3: Neocolonialism
What were the major consequences of U.S neocolonialism in Latin America?
To successfully write a paper addressing any of these three prompts, you will need to draw upon various course materials relevant to the question you select. You’ll need to consider the Skidmore, Smith, and Green readings; the Human Tradition readings (the biographies we’ve read weekly); the other assigned videos; and at least one primary source. For each of these questions, we have read and watched a number of relevant videos and texts. Use these to help you come up with your thesis and provide evidence to support it in the body of your essay. Obviously, not everything we’ve done will be relevant to the question you choose. If you’ve worked through all 7 modules during the term, you will know where to find material to help you answer the question you select. Again, you will want to use videos, readings, and at least one primary source.
This assignment does not require outside sources, and I strongly recommend that you stick to the sources within the course. I will be looking to see how you respond to the prompt and use evidence from our in-class materials. Outside materials are not likely to help and may distract from our shared readings, videos, and primary sources. Stick to our class materials.
GUIDELINES:
Papers should be 4 pages or approximately 1200 words long.
12 point, Times New Roman font.
1 inch margins at the top, bottom, and sides of the pages.
Include page numbers on all pages (it does not matter where).
Double space the text. Do not leave extra space between paragraphs (in Word, go to format and paragraph and set spacing after paragraph to zero)
Include your name, date, and class in the upper corner of the first page, single spaced.
Citations should be in Chicago styleLinks to an external site., using footnotes and a bibliography at the end.
ORGANIZATIONAL TIPS
Your paper should begin with an introductory paragraph. The thesis statment comes at the end of the introduction and clearly communicates your answer to the prompt. The introductory paragraph is followed by the body of the paper
where you use evidence to convincingly argue for each aspect of your thesis. The final paragraph is a conclusion where you wrap up the elements of your argument. Remember clarity in writing helps communicate your ideas. Don’t use the authors’ voices (extensive quotes) where you can restate ideas in your own words.
CITATIONS: FOOTNOTES AND BIBLIOGRAPHY
Anytime you borrow ideas from a reading or video, you MUST footnote the material you are using—even if the idea is expressed in your own words. Anytime you directly quote from a reading, use quotation marks to indicate the borrowed,language and include a footnote. All footnotes should be in Chicago-stylLinks to an external site..
The first time you footnote from a reading should look like this:
Gilbert Joseph and Allen Wells, “The Rough-and-Tumble Career of Pedro Crespo,” in The Human Tradition in Latin America: The Twentieth Century, ed. William Beezley and Judith Ewell (Wilmington: Scholarly Resources, 1987), 29.
After the first time, you can use a shortened style like this:
Joseph and Wells, “Pedro Crespo,” 29.Microsoft Word automatically creates space for Footnotes and numbers them. Footnotes must be numbered. Look for the tool under “References” or something similar, depending on the version you use. The fifth page of your paper should be a bibliography, listing all the materials you used to write your paper. Use this complete list of materials from our course
Actions
to create your bibliography. Be sure to consult that list so that you have the full details for each footnote and bibliography entry.Consult this rubric
for more details on how I will evaluate your paper. It’s helpful to use the rubric as you write because it indicates exactly what I will be looking for.
