Put a Little Science in Your Life (by Brian Greene)
“When we consider the ubiquity of cellphones, iPods, personal computers and the Internet, it’s easy to see how science (and the technology to which it leads) is woven into the fabric of our day-to-day activities. When we benefit from CT scanners, M.R.I. devices, pacemakers and arterial stents, we can immediately appreciate how science affects the quality of our lives. When we assess the state of the world, and identify looming challenges like climate change, global pandemics, security threats and diminishing resources, we don’t hesitate in turning to science to gauge the problems and find solutions.

Paper Instructions:

Write a 750-1000-word essay about a topic in which you argue for the existence of a particular phenomenon by stating a generalization about the topic. Then you will support that generalization (in the form of a thesis statement) by choosing to write a single-example illustration essay or a multiple-example illustration essay (see Unit V, Lesson 2). The essay should be written in the style and form described within Unit V.

Purpose: Throughout Unit V, we have discussed the conventions of the illustration essay. The purpose of this assignment is to measure your mastery of those conventions by putting your knowledge to practice. In a larger context, the purpose of writing an illustration essay is to convey an idea to the reader by providing illustrations (examples) that will solidify the existence of a topic.

Process: For the illustration essay, you will complete the following steps:

Choose a topic: See the methods for developing a topic and the suggested list of topics in Unit V, Lesson 3.
Decide if you want to write a single-example or multiple-example essay: See Unit V, Lesson 2, for more instruction on the differences between single-example and multiple-example essays.
Collect illustrations: See Unit V, Lesson 1, for more information about different kinds of illustrations. See Unit V, Lesson 4, for more information about how to gather illustrations.
Craft your thesis statement: See Unit V, Lesson 5, for more information on how to write a thesis. Note that you want to craft your thesis according to whether you choose to write a single-example or a multiple-example essay.
Draft the essay: For each section of the essay, see the following: Unit V, Lesson 6, for the introduction; Unit V, Lesson 7, for the body paragraphs; and Unit V, Lesson 8, for the conclusion.
Stylistic details: All essays must meet the following requirements:

750-1000 words.
Write in Times New Roman, 12 pt. font.
Include one-inch margins on all sides.

Lucy Parsons, “On Women and Revolutionary Socialism” (Chapter 16)

**All documents can be found in the American Yawp Reader, volume II**
(http://www.americanyawp.com/reader.html).

Read and analyze ONE of the following primary sources related to a particular historical period or event
from the list on the second page. After reading the source, write an analysis of the source and how it helps
us to better understand the events of the past.
Use the following questions to help guide the writing of your primary source analysis:
1. What is the document about?
2. Why was the document written?
3. Who is the author? OR Who are the authors?
4. When was the source written?
5. What was happening during the time it was written/created (the historical context)? This
information will come from the textbook chapters and supplemental materials.
6. How does the time that it was written/created help us understand the author’s perspective?
7. How does the source’s bias affect our understanding of history? The author’s bias could be their
job; relationship to the event (directly affected or bystander); position in society (i.e.
wealthy/middle class individual or poor/working class?); political affiliation; etc.
This assignment should be written like a formal essay with an introduction and thesis statement, body
paragraphs, and a conclusion.
Primary Source Analysis Guidelines
1. Your primary source analysis should make an argument (thesis statement) about how your source
relates to the historical events it is responding to and the time period when it was created. The
thesis statement should appear at the end of your introduction.
2. You should provide direct evidence from the source you choose to support your argument.
Paraphrasing and summarizing is okay. Avoid using more than two or three direct quotes. Cite
your sources using the same in-text citation format you have been using in your online
discussions (Chapter title, section number) and/or (Video title).
3. Your paper should be three to four pages, typed, doubled spaced, in 12-point Times New
Roman font, with one-inch margins. Please make sure you include a heading on the first page
with your name, course number, and title of your paper (your title should be creative and reflect
your argument). Points will be taken off if you do not follow the formatting directions.
4. You DO NOT need to do any outside research for this assignment. notes from the American
Yawp online textbook and supplemental materials should provide enough context to answer the
prompt.
