These Will Be Graded On Length Quality Of Answers Specific Reference

These will be graded on length, quality of answers, specific reference to the texts, and analytical thought. So please try to include short quotes from the book(s), lecture material and/or videos and other readings. Think about what you want to say, organize your thoughts well, and develop and provide evidence or explanation for your assertions. There is a minimum word count of 500 words. You need to include at least three different sources. These can be outside sources and/or sources from class. You do not need a source page, unless you have outside sources. If you cite my lecture just put in (Frawley, Lecture) and if you cite our textbook you can just put in (Faderman, page number). Citing my lecture three times is only citing one source three times. It is not three different sources. Make sure to cite the sources you use in the body of the essay. I will deduct points if you do not cite the sources in the paper. There are guides for MLA and APA in the writing resources link. Remember, you should never write a paper as one giant paragraph. If you need a refresher on basic writing skills there is a power point in the writing resources links. There are two, or three, sets of questions for each assignment. Only answer one question set, not all of them. Answer all the questions in the set that you choose.

Paper For Above instruction

The assignment requires composing a well-organized, analytical essay of at least 500 words that responds to one set of questions provided. The essay must integrate at least three different sources—these can be external or from class materials—and cite them appropriately within the text. Proper citation is essential to avoid point deductions; for example, citing lecture material as (Frawley, Lecture) or textbook content as (Faderman, p. X). The focus should be on a clear argument supported by evidence, including short quotations from books, lectures, videos, or readings. The essay should be written in multiple paragraphs, following standard academic formatting, with an introduction, body, and conclusion.

For example, if the chosen question set asks about the representation of LGBTQ+ identities in contemporary media, the essay should analyze specific examples from recent films, TV shows, or online content. It should incorporate critical perspectives from at least three sources, evaluating how media portrayals influence societal perceptions and individual identities. Effective use of quotations and references from class lectures (e.g., Frawley) and texts (e.g., Faderman) would strengthen the argument. The analysis should demonstrate thoughtful engagement with the material, showcasing understanding of broader themes and issues related to sexuality, gender, and representation.

Ensure that all sources are cited correctly within the essay, using MLA or APA style as specified. The essay should avoid stuffing information into a single paragraph and should present ideas coherently and logically. This structure not only enhances readability but also demonstrates critical thinking skills. The final piece should meet the minimum word count requirement, thoroughly address the assigned questions, and provide a nuanced analysis rooted in textual evidence and scholarly discourse.
