Instructions
Your rough draft should be a close-to-complete version of your final paper. The more you have done for your rough draft, the better your feedback will be for the final product. Keep this in mind when you work on and submit this assignment.
This assignment should be at least six- to eight-pages in length.
For the rough draft, you should include:
an early version of your introduction
a literature review (you may want to check this Literature Review Reminder)
a conclusion
a bibliography
OPTIONALLY, YOU CAN INCLUDE AN ABSTRACT, BUT WE WILL FOCUS ON THAT FOR THE FINAL PAPER.
As with the final paper, the introduction should set up a history/background of the topic, which can include a discussion of the impact of the topic (who/what does it affect) and a broad discussion of social science methods. You should also introduce the three major themes that you will be discussing in the literature review. For your conclusion, recap your overall discussion and the major points of the literature review. What does this tell us about your topic overall? How does the information fit together to portray the state of American culture? Reestablish the impact of the topic. Also cover any future directions that research should move in. Are there unanswered questions? Unstudied populations?
