NHD 5 Stages Paper

Rights and Responsibilities Title

                                              

THESIS/INTRO: This is where you should put your thesis statement and introductory paragraph. This introduces the reader to your topic, and gives a brief summary of what you plan to present.  Make sure you have clear argument- what you plan to prove- with your thesis statement. 

 

ORIGIN: This is your paragraph on the origin of your topic. Write about the time and place in which the right or responsibility first began. How did the story start? What important connections did you make about how your topic began? For example, what important events or “watershed moments” impacted your topic? Was it born out of another movement (like women’s suffrage and abolition)? Make sure you reference your sources, either as a footnote or within the paper. According to Ms. Thompson, this is the correct way to write an academic paper (conhigh2016.blogspot.com). 

DEVELOPMENT: This is your development. What were the first years like as people began to demand their right, or take on certain responsibilities? Was there a movement that grew around demanding their rights? Was there opposition to your topic?  How did both sides of the issue interact? Make sure you reference your sources.

TURNING POINT: This is describing the right and/or responsibilities. This is the point in which most of the public is aware there is a problem, and people are actively working to change the problem. You may write several paragraphs about this, as it is the bulk of your research. Make sure you use and cite your sources. 

SHORT TERM IMPACT: Write about how your right or responsibility immediately changed the world- for better or worse.  What changed socially, economically, or politically because of your right/responsibility? This is what happened because of your topic right after the turning point- first ten years or so. Cite your sources.

LONG TERM IMPACT- Determine how we are still feeling the effects of your topic. Make sure you reference social, economic and political impact, as needed. USE AND CITE YOUR SOURCES

CONCLUSION. Give a brief summary of what you proved with your research.
