Due Th 12/15 (including outline, one copy of first draft, peer review sheets, and revision reflection)

This MLA research paper should be about 10-12 paragraphs long (approx. 6-10 pages). The topic should synthesize expert analyses of an artist, group, or movement. The paper could focus entirely on one artist or look at three artists from a specific group or art movement. The argument should concern how the artist or group exposes the ideologies of the time, socially and/or artistically.

The body of the paper should be divided into three subtopics, each supported by three “meaty” quotations. The quotations should present a complex intersection of 3-4 ideas. The quotations should include an expert’s analysis. You will need approximate nine quotations to write the body of this paper.

Your outline should be an expanded version of the 5-paragraph outline from our Mini-Research Project. The paper will need an introduction (1-2 paragraphs) that provides background information and context and includes a thesis statement (topic, argument, subtopics). Each subtopic in the body should include approx. 3 paragraphs, each built around a complex quotes. Continue to follow the logic of the body paragraphs from the Mini-Research Project (topic sentence, evidence, explanation, analysis, connection). The conclusion should restate the thesis, pull the subtopics together, and suggest potential ramifications.

Due Dates:
T 11/22: Topic due - This class will be our second library workshop. It would wise to choose your topic or topic area before this class.

Mini Research Project

English 102 -- Mini-Research Project
(2-4 pages. Double-spaced. MLA format. Works Cited. Stapled. 100 Points.)
Sources and Thesis Due: 10/13
Outline Due (must follow the format provided below): 10/20
Draft (4 copies, including Works Cited page) Due: 10/27
Final Draft (with: Works Cited page, outline, first draft, peer reviews, revision reflection) Due: 11/1

--This paper is a 5-paragraph "mini-research" essay, using 2-3 outside sources. Keep your topics as small and specific as possible. This is an incredibly short paper, so you will only have to time to really explore one idea in any depth.

--This paper must be in MLA format. Consult links on the class blog for MLA formatting resources.

--Make sure to include an arguable thesis statement in your introduction. Please supply some very concise background information in your introduction.You may use quotes or paraphrases from the sources if you like, just make sure to provide a citation for the source (even for paraphrases).

--Each body paragraph should be built around one "meaty" quote from your research. The quote should be a complex intersection of 3-4 ideas that requires you to explain it and connect it to other ideas in the paper.

--The paper should focus on how a very specific cultural moment exposes its contemporary social contract or reveals something significant about the historical moment that produced it.

Choose one of the following prompts:
1. Analyze the Rolling Stone’s 1969 concert at Altamont where members of the Hell’s Angels, hired as security guards, killed audience members during the concert. What elements of the late ‘60s social contract were exposed by the killings? How does this event represent the historical moment that generated it?

2. In 1968, the MC5 was supposed to play a concert/protest outside the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The concert/protest quickly dissolved into a riot. What elements of the late ‘60s social contract were exposed by the riot? How does this event represent the historical moment that generated it?

3. With the advent of the birth control pill, Loretta Lynn recorded a very controversial song entitled “The Pill.” What assumptions did Loretta Lynn’s 1975 song expose about women’s roles in the family and society of the 1970s.  How does this event represent the historical moment that generated it?

4. Orson Welles’ 1938 adaptation of H.G. Wells War of the Worlds caused widespread panic when performed on the radio. What elements of the 1930s social contract were exposed by Welles’ hoax?  How does this event represent the historical moment that generated it?

5. In spite of videotaped evidence, a 1992 jury acquitted four Los Angeles police officers charged with beating Rodney King. The verdict resulted the massive, 6-day long L.A Riots. These riots and the racial tensions that preceded and followed, were the context for the emergence of “gangsta rap” (especially N.W.A.).  How did these riots expose the social contract of early ‘90s Los Angeles? -or- How is gangsta rap representative of the historical moment that generated it?

6. In 1968, a group of radical feminists protested the Miss America Pageant in Atlantic City, NJ bringing the term “Women’s Liberation” into the popular consciousness. How does this protest expose the social contact of the late ‘60s? How does this event represent the historical moment that generated it?

7. In 1986, police raided the home of Dead Kennedy’s lead singer Jello Biafra and brought him up on obscenity charges connected to the artwork for his record Frankenchrist. The raid was a result of complaints by the Parent’s Music Resource Group (PRMC), an organization led by Tipper Gore, that advocated for labeling music to alert parents to the presence of violent or sexually explicit lyrics and packaging. How does the controversy over record labeling expose the values of the 1980s?  How does this event represent the historical moment that generated it?

Syllabus

Engl& 102 Sec 6 – a history of anarchy

Instructor: Professor Bucci
Email: dbucci@cascadia.edu
Phone: 352-8329    Office: CC1-329   Office Hours: Mon and Wed, 11am-1:05pm or 1:15pm-3:15pm
Class Meetings: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11am – 1:05pm Rm: CC1 0230
Class blog: http//:buccienglish102.blogspot.com

Course Description:
Students learn how to develop ideas to guide research, to gather information from the library, Internet, experts and other sources, and to judge the quality of the information. They learn to use ideas from sources as evidence in essays and longer research projects, developing a more sophisticated approach to using sources to achieve identified purposes for identified audiences. Students continue ENG 101’s emphasis on developing well-organized, thoughtful essays. This class is organized around a theme chosen by the instructor.

Theme: a history of anarchy.
This is not a course on political anarchy. Although this course may critique various governments and their social policies, it will not advocate the reduction or elimination of government. The focus of this course is cultural anarchy. Our goal is to interpret and analyze history by studying the culture produced during specific historical moments, like a hunter might study his prey’s dropping for clues to where it’s been and what it’s been doing. Cultural anarchy is a phenomenon that exposes the unseen rules and assumptions of a given social contract.

Prerequisites: Completion of ENGL&101 (formerly ENG 101) with a grade of 2.0 or higher.

NOTE: There will be very little review of sentence level grammar and syntax in this class. If grammar and syntax are not of a college level, it is the student's responsibility to seek outside help from Cascadia’s Math and Writing Center or via etutoring.cascadia.edu

Course Content, Topics and Themes:
        Critical thinking processes: analysis, synthesis, evaluation, problem-solving, close reading
        Researching strategies: asking questions, finding and evaluating sources, sorting sources, interviewing, reading, taking notes
        Research-based composition processes: generating ideas, forming a hypothesis, organizing notes, summarizing sources, drafting, discussing, revising, editing, and proofreading
        Rhetorical strategies and structures
        Research-writing strategies: incorporating sources, avoiding plagiarism, judging validity of evidence
        Group process skills
        Self-evaluation skills
        Technology strategies: revising text, running advanced searches to find multiple sources, and communicating with experts

Required Texts:
    • All readings for this class (unless otherwise noted) will be available via eReserve:
    • Rules for Writers (optional grammar and style handbook)

Papers:
• Mini-Research Project (2-3 pages)
• Creative Project and Reflection (2-3 pages)
• Final Research Paper (6-10 pages)

All out-of-class writing must be typed. All papers are due at the beginning of class, and papers handed in after the first ten minutes of class will be marked late and penalized. I understand that life can be unpredictable, so I will accept one late paper per student per quarter. No other late papers will be accepted. If you think you are not going to be able to make a paper deadline, please speak with me before the paper is due. Absolutely, no emailed papers will be accepted without prior approval. All papers (and associated outlines, drafts, reflections, and peer reviews) must be stapled together (or collected in a pocket folder) and clearly labeled with the student’s name on every section. If you fail to include a required outline, first draft, or peer review response with your paper, your grade for the assignment will be reduced by 10%.

Short Answer Test Outcomes and Due Dates: (subject to change)
Short Answer Test #1: understand complex reading and discussion (take home): 10/6

Attendance, Participation, and In-Class Work:
You are required to attend class on time, and expected to have completed all reading and assignments before coming to class. Our course only has 22 class meetings. If you attend at least 19 classes on time, you will earn 20 points of extra credit. 

Important: You are responsible for all assignments given in class whether you were present or not. “I wasn’t here that day” is not an excuse. I will keep the class web page updated with assignments and changes to the schedule, but I suggest you trade contact information with several of your classmates just in case.
