23 Jun Write a research essay of 2500-3000 words t
Write a research essay of 2500-3000 words that responds to one of the following prompts:
1. Compare and contrast A Raisin in the Sun and Clybourne Park by focusing on a single issue: race; class; the effect race has on class; the effect class has on race; the effect both race and class have on property ownership; the effect race and/or class have on marital relationships; how racial considerations motivate the characters actions; etc.
2. Compare and contrast the gentrification of Clybourne Park, as it is presented in the play Clybourne Park, with gentrification either in Santa Barbara, or in your hometown. (You need to know the area well.)
3. In the 1950s, institutional racism (discrimination in housing, employment, education, government services, etc.) played a large role in denying African-Americans their civil rights. In the 2000s, gentrification has become a new form of institutional racism that once again threatens to deny African-Americans equal opportunity. Write an essay that focuses on the ways that gentrification in Clybourne Park represents a version of the institutional racism found in A Raisin in the Sun.
4. Compare and contrast the two acts of Clybourne Park. How has racism changed over the past 50 years? In what ways does it still persist? Be specific. Focus on particular characters, speeches, actions, props (including the set), etc.
5. Write an essay that traces all the connections between A Raisin in the Sun and Clybourne Park.
Youll probably want to start with characters (and their relatives) that the plays have in common, but then dig deeper into the real situation of institutionalized racism in Chicagos Clybourne Park area and how it has changed over the years.
6. All the families in A Raisin in the Sun and Clybourne Park seem to be seeking some version of the “American Dream.” Develop a definition of the American Dream, then apply it to the two plays as you investigate 1) which characters are coming closest to achieving that dream, 2) which characters are failing, and 3) why one group is more successful than the other.
You must use at least 10, but no more than 15, critical/secondary sources. Correctly document your citations using MLA style documentation and include a separate Works Cited page. Your sources will probably come from multiple academic fields, but each author must be an authority in her/his field.
RUBRIC FOR RESEARCH PAPER
Assignment Focus, Support & Development Mechanics & Style Research & Documentation
A: 90-100 The essay always follows the assignment, thoroughly and insightfully describing, investigating and responding to the chosen chapters research question. The thesis and topic sentences are exceptionally clear, narrow and focused, and supporting evidence is plentiful and expertly selected. The writing is easy to follow and mostly error-free. The writer demonstrates a mastery of both language and subject matter.
The essay contains 10-15 excellent secondary sources, which are correctly documented in the text of the paper and on a Works Cited page. Quotation, paraphrase and summary are expert and accurate.
B: 80-89 The essay generally follows the assignment: describing, investigating and responding to the chosen chapters research question. The thesis and topic sentences are clear, and supporting evidence is more than satisfactory. The essay contains relatively few sentence-level errors, with the writer usually choosing correct words, varying sentences effectively,
and observing the conventions of written English. The essay contains at least 10 solid secondary sources, all of which are correctly documented. Quotation, paraphrase and summary are usually correct.
C: 70-79 The essay sometimes does not follow the assignment. Description, investigation and response to the chosen chapters research question are occasionally awkward or inappropriate.
The thesis and topic sentences may be less than clear, and supporting evidence is no more than satisfactory. While there may be some errors, the writer generally observes the conventions of written English. The essay contains 10 sources, some of which may be inappropriate for the paper, or incorrectly documented. Quotation, paraphrase and summary are faulty.
D: 60-69 The essay often does not follow the assignment. Description, investigation and response to the chosen chapters research question are often awkward and/or inappropriate. The thesis and topic sentences are vague, and supporting evidence is insufficient. One or more patterns of sentence-level errors are pervasive, making the essay difficult to read.
The essay contains fewer than the required 10 sources; some may be poorly chosen. Serious problems with documentation.
F: 59 and below The essay does not follow the assignment and/or is extremely confusing and/or is significantly shorter than 2500 words. Very brief essays and/or those that do not follow the assignment will result in the student receiving an
“F” grade for the entire paper. Mechanics and style in the research paper are so different than the writing done by the student for the online Journal entries and Discussion Forum posts that the research paper appears to be the work of another writer altogether. The essay contains only a few or none of the required secondary sources. Documentation is missing or entirely incorrect = “F” grade for entire essay.
