HOW HAS THE REVITALIZATION OF DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES AFFECTED IITS HISTORICAL CHARACTER AND THE SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS OF ITS LONG TERMS RESIDENTS?

Assignment Requirements

To create your bibliography, follow these guidelines (each of these is a required component of each entry):

            1). List all of your selected sources in the most current MLA format

            2). Just below each MLA citation, write a 100-150 word abstract which includes the following

                information:

• A brief non-evaluative summary of each source which explains the work’s governing thesis or purpose (What are the main points? How does it address your its subject?)
• Brief biographical or identifying information for the source’s author. If there is no author, provide identifying information regarding the source itself. (Why is it credible? What is the context of the source?)
• Give some indication of how you intend to use the work – what its value will be to your project, etc.

         3). Before turning in a copy of your annotated bibliography:

• Proofread and correct for errors.
• Be sure your bib is typed, 12 pt font, Times New Roman, double-spaced, with 1”
• Remember that your essay must integrate and cite at least five credible sources from your research. Integrating sources includes summarizing key terms, claims, or concepts, and quoting important details. Two of those sources must be from the GCC databases.  
• Double-check your 5 citations with Purdue OWL (linked on Canvas). Don’t rely on citation creation websites. 

A “complete” for this assignment will be awarded based on the correctness of your citations (MLA, 8th edition format) and the strength of your abstracts (all three layers covered, well-edited). For details on formatting, check out the samples on Canvas and Purdue OWL.

2ND ASSIGBMENT REQUIRMENT THAT RELATED TO FIRST ONE

ou may not be able to deal with every aspect of your paper in detail right now, but do think in terms of:

• an introduction, leading readers to your initial claim or question for the paper (basically this is the thinking problem or the “catalyst” getting the essay set up for further analysis, discussion, and research).
• providing specific evidence (examples, sources, details) to help you develop analysis and evolve your idea/theory (both primary and secondary sources play a part in this)
• providing context for your readers by discussing what others have said about your topic
• how your thesis evolves (and/or the way you answer your guiding question)
• a conclusion that offers readers a take-away idea or theory – one that doesn’t just repeat what you’ve already in the paper, nor suddenly introduce a new topic. Of course, you may not be ready for this portion yet.

Assignment Requirements:

• Your working thesis and essay outline is due via Canvas. It should offer a strong, working thesis at the top of your outline that shows an attempt at adhering to the thesis features discussed in class and in our Canvas writing handbook.
• You should offer an outline which roughly organizes the development/examination of your thesis using short, concise complete sentences and a system of numbers and letters which show levels of generality.

Guidelines for constructing an outline:

1. Put the thesis at the top
2. Make items at the same level of generality as parallel as possible.
3. Use sentences or phrases
4. Use the conventional system of numbers and letters for the levels of generality.
5. Be flexible; be prepared to change your outline as your drafts evolve.

Here are some questions to help you offer ideas in outline form:

Introduction:

• What is the “big, burning question” or the hypothesis/initial claim this paper will explore?
• Why is it important or interesting?
• What might be an interesting way to introduce your readers to your essay topic?

Providing a context to help your readers understand the issue:

• What have other writers said about this topic? How does it relate to your claim or question?
• What information do readers need to understand the context of this idea/issue/subject?
• What evidence (details, examples, experiences) can help readers see or understand this idea or subject?

Sharing and analyzing the information you’ve discovered:

• What evidence will you look at to explore your guiding claim or question?
• What evidence do you find most interesting?

Answering “so what? – making your voice/conclusion clear:

• How might you answer your opening question or refine the claim/thesis you started with?
• What do you want your readers to be thinking about or better understand after they read this paper?

Your focus should be on developing a new idea or new insight, gained by your analysis/study, work with source material, and examination of multiple perspectives. The take-away of your paper should try to avoid just providing an opinion (for/against, pro/con). Instead, push yourself to develop a nuanced theory or an idea that moves beyond just taking a position or pushing an opinion.
