This stage of the research project requires you to find quality sources and evaluate their quality. This homework has a few steps. They are: (a) Summarizing Sources and (b) Evaluating Sources. This section should be at least 750 words.
Step I: Summarizing Sources
For both of your 2 sources, you will write a short, one-paragraph summary that explains the main idea and one detail of the author. Remember, these are what somebody else thinks or says about Coates' essay.
Step II: Evaluating Sources
In one paragraph, explain what you learned from researching Coates' piece. What are the key things that you now understand after completing your research?
Part B: Evidence Clusters from "The Case for Reparations"
Once you have found all your sources, it's time to think about how they relate to Coates' essay "The Case for Reparations." In this section, you will master the skill of breaking down evidence and relating to a central text. We will do this in paragraphs using an evidence cluster.
First, choose 2 pieces of evidence from Coates' essay. Second, write one paragraph for each piece of evidence that clearly introduces, quotes, and analyzes the evidence. For each of your clusters, you will follow our quotation sandwich style for using evidence. This section should be at least 500 words.
Part C: Do You Believe Coates?
The last part of your research project will be a written essay in which you answer the question: Do you believe in Coates' essay? This will be a short paper in which you will draw on all your research and reading to explain what you believe about Coates' assertion that the USA needs to make reparations.
