Week 1 Assignment, ETHN 100.01
10 points
Spring 2022
Prompt: The first graded assignment is to read A different mirror: A history of multicultural America. Part One: Foundations. (Takaki, 1993, pp. 3-73). As such, you will write a four-page double spaced paper (Times New Roman, 12 pt. font) explaining to your reading audience the author’s main argument. You will identify strengths and weaknesses of the argument and explain why you agree or disagree. Either way, you need to provide supporting evidence from past research. Past research mean that you may go into the library data bases and find articles that support your contentions. Remember to cite in APA style writing throughout your paper and create a References section at the end (not a Works Cited). Purdue Owl or Google is your best friend for creating an acceptable document in APA format. Another great idea is to find a scholarly social science peer reviewed article or paper and pattern your work after that. Using the format is not plagiarism. Using someone else’s work and not citing is plagiarism.
The book (A Different Mirror) is an easy read and to the point. I will lecture on Part One via Zoom. I will assign groups to lecture on the rest of the book throughout the semester. Each group member will take a portion of the assigned reading as their contribution. It is up to the groups to decide who does what parts.
Learning Objectives
Students will learn to conduct a literature review and produce a writing reflection in APA style format. As such, students will learn to cite properly in the body of their work and create a correct Reference section. Students will also learn about societies and their interactions through Takaki (1993) lens. This mean chapters will be assigned for reading and response usually bimonthly using the instructor prompt as a guideline.
Instructions
Read the assignment. Be aware of anything that appears to be unclear, unanswered, or ambiguous. Content that is not clear and specific based on evidence may lead to a research question. Identify the author’s main argument. Look for strengths and weakness in the author’s argument. Do some research…look in the library data base, i..e. Jstor (means journal storage), and enter key words from the reading in the Jstor search engine. Pick three articles that appear to be on point and use their arguments to either refute or support Takaki’s argument. All supporting evidence should be peer reviewed and published in a credible source to be considered reliable. In your own words tell you reading audience the author’s main argument and remember to cite. Submit your work in the assignments section of this program on or before the due date.
