For the purpose of this project, you are free to interpret “your community” in any way you like. For example, you might choose to research a problem faced by students in our campus community (Los Medanos College specifically, or community college generally), your geographic community (your city, neighborhood, or state), or your cultural community (based on religion, ethnicity, sexual/gender identity, etc.) or your political or socio-economic community.
Think about the social, economic, and political implications and perspectives that impact the community you define.
Students will draw from one chapter in the Bailey text as a foundation to their argument. For example, student may pick from ideas in Chapter 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.  That is, the theme of your paper can come from exploring the impact of the Southern Strategy on equality, Disenfranchisement, Environmental injustice/justice, the issue with the Gun debate, or hate speech especially in the digital age.
Students do not need to “agree” with the arguments presented by Bailey and can use a theme from a chapter to challenge arguments made by Bailey as the problem.
Demonstrate that the problem you have selected exists by defining/analyzing the problem and then pose a solution. You should provide enough contextual information to show your readers the scope of the problem and explain who/what is affected, how, and why. Most important, you will cite evidence from quality sources that will convince your readers that the problem is serious and worthy of their attention.  Using logical reasoning and credible evidence, your goal is to persuade your reader that your proposed solution is feasible, and that it is better than alternative solutions.
You have an introduction with a clear thesis (because you will be making a stand/argument)
Your sentences show control and sophistication
Be sure you are dealing with an issue which is some way controversial or debatable
Be sure that your essay answers the question, “So What?”—why is your thesis important? What is the consequence of the issue or phenomenon you are exploring?
Spend some time thinking about organization. What sections will your essay need to include?  In what order should these sections go?
Use quotations soundly following the paragraph structure and Art of Quoting we have discussed all semester.
You may use up to two long quotes in your essay. However, these quotes may only go up to 6 lines each and must be properly MLA formatted as long quotes.
The tone of your paper must be academic and formal. For the last page of the essay, you may state how you are connected to the issue.  However, for the rest of the essay please do not write about your personal stories, provide informal commentary or experiences that relate to the topic of your paper.  Save talking about yourself until the last page.
You must properly engage with MLA formatting, in-text citation, and a Works Cited page. You will not receive an A on your essay no matter how great it is if these are done incorrectly.
