Evaluation for Outline You are asked to create an outline for your final presentation to help you mold a project that reflects strong academic research and consideration for issues we have discussed in class. Your 2-page single-spaced outline will detail the family you have chosen to work on for your course in the first section. The subsequent sections will (1) detail relevant course and other readings, (2) detail the historical background that it is necessary to build a biography around the family you will study, (3) list a set of issues you wish you knew of the family but do not know; (4) mark a sense of how you’d like to write the biography – through what lens and characters, and why? The final presentation outline is due November 14, 2023, by 6 PM EST. The Evaluation Process Well-researched and constructed papers require time and diligence even for the most advanced scholar. Students will submit an outline of their proposed final paper. Each outline should include at least 4-6 primary sources, connections to course content, and secondary literature relevant to the student’s chosen topic. Your outline does not have to be word for word account of what you will discuss. Rather, it should be a series of short sentences that another group and the instructor can understand. In short, another group should be able to read your group’s outline and understand how you plan to develop your final paper. Strong academic work requires intellectual solidarity and discussion. In addition to submitting your outline, you are also asked to engage those of your peers and provide feedback on them in class. Content and Research (50 points) • The outline should explicitly and concisely state the purpose and topic of your final paper in a way that is easily understandable to a general audience. Avoid overly technical or academic language that may confuse non-experts. • The outline should reflect a deep understanding of the chosen topic. • Information presented in the outline must be accurate and based on well-researched, credible sources. References should be made where applicable. • Students are encouraged to offer unique perspectives or insights on the topic that go beyond common knowledge. This may involve connecting the topic of their paper to course content or highlighting lesser-known aspects of the subject. Structure and Organization (50 points) • The outline should follow a logical sequence that is easy for non-experts to follow. Avoid going off on tangents or including irrelevant information. Make sure the structure supports the main message or argument of the final paper. The goal is to make the content understandable and engaging for people who may not have prior knowledge of the topic. • The outline should be clear from beginning to end. Evaluation for Final Paper Your final paper will be a 5-page biographical account of a family you have chosen to write on. Your paper should aim to show your deep understanding of the larger historical context that impacted the family you study. In this paper, you should detail a key aspect of the family’s life (i.e., experience with deportation, schooling, employment, death, etc.) and the relevant sociolegal formations that impacted the lives of the family you study. I encourage you to speak to me in office hours as your paper develops if you have any questions. Your final assignment is due December 14, 2023, by 6 PM EST.
