ENC 1101-R
Final Paper
Throughout the
semester we have engaged in a study of human relationships, culture and the
cycle of oppression that results from the quest for freedom. In many instances we have seen that
oppression stems from gender and filial bonds as much as it crosses
racial/cultural lines.
Please develop an
original thesis, formal outline (using the outline template) and a well thought
out essay (2-3 pages/500-750 words), bibliography, and PowerPoint presentation
exploring the question below:
Based on the film and subsequent discussion of John
Singleton’s 1995 film “Higher Learning”, please develop an original thesis and
argumentative essay about one of the major themes from our course readings
contained in the film. You may also
decide to discuss one or more of the college pressures (from the Zinsser
article or otherwise) that these students face as long as your paper is
argumentative.
AS PART OF THIS ASSIGNMENT, PLEASE INCLUDE A
BIBLIOGRAPHY OF FIVE SOURCES (FROM ONLINE DATABASES WHICH YOU LEARNED TO ACCESS
IN THE LIBRARY PRESENTATION) THAT RELATES TO YOUR TOPIC. YOU WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO QUORE FROM THEM
IN THE PAPER.
Please submit your formal typed
outline, bibliography (five sources) and the final paper (a complete paper), to
CANVAS by 11:59am on Thursday April 11th.
