<\/i> Printable Essay Rubric<\/a> | Printable Prompt<\/a><\/p>\n Assignment<\/strong><\/p>\n Choose one of the five thematic clusters below (see The Writing Process), each of which contains scholarly secondary sources on an animal-related topic in Latin American history. Read the key text in the scholarly conversation (indicated in bold), then survey the remaining sources in the cluster. Select two sources to evaluate in more depth along with the key text, identifying each scholar\u2019s central arguments, disciplinary perspective, rhetorical strategy, and use of evidence from primary and secondary sources. Then, in essay form, assess how these sources fit together and articulate one specific debate among the three scholars. Elaborate how the scholars advance their own arguments in the debate by citing specific evidence from their texts to support your assertions. How might you represent and join this scholarly conversation?<\/strong><\/p>\n Your final paper must engage with at least 3 secondary sources, should be about 5\u20136 pages in length, and will be worth 35% of your writing grade.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/i> Learning Goals<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/i> Required Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n Before you begin brainstorming for this assignment, make sure you have read the following:<\/p>\n <\/i> The Writing Process<\/strong><\/p>\n Up to this point in Humanities Core, our focus in expository academic writing has been on the analysis and interpretation of primary sources<\/strong>, that is, documents, images, or artifacts that provide first-hand testimony or direct evidence of a topic under humanistic investigation. Now, we will turn our attention to secondary sources<\/strong>\u2014\u201csecondary\u201d in the sense that they interpret or analyze primary sources and draw interpretive claims from that inquiry. In this assignment, you will explore a cluster of thematically-related secondary sources written for an academic audience. The texts you will examine were published in two different types of venue: as articles in scholarly journals and as chapters in monographs or edited collections published by academic presses. In both cases, these publications have undergone the process of peer review<\/strong>, the systematic evaluation of scholarly writing and research by other experts in the field. Each of the clusters represent at least part of a scholarly conversation<\/strong>, an expression we use to describe a body of academic work on a given topic. Part of this assignment is learning what kinds of rhetorical moves academics make in their writing so that you can employ those same strategies as you enter a scholarly conversation in your own research project during the spring quarter.<\/p>\n Your first task is to select one of the clusters below, which correspond to topics you have been presented with in Professor O\u2019Toole\u2019s lectures. In each cluster, we have identified a key text, a secondary source that operates as an entry point into the scholarly conversation that the cluster represents. Read that key text carefully, then survey the remaining sources in the cluster. This is what we might call a survey of the scholarly landscape<\/strong>, in which one reads the introduction, conclusion, and\/or article abstract and scans the remainder of the text so as to determine which sources are most relevant.<\/p>\n Note: Ask your instructor for the special password you need to download these PDFs. 🦙 1.
