English IV - Position Paper Assignment Introduction

Assignment: Position Paper
Topic: Darfur Humanitarian Crisis

Your Task: Should the international community intervene in Darfur?

We will be writing 3/5 of this paper together. We are going to look at one source as a community of readers. The source is an article from the Semptember 21st issue of Rolling Stone, titled "The Tragedy in Darfur." We will mine for evidence, organize the evidence, and write body paragraphs together. Next week your job will be to find another source and integrate evidence and information from that source into the paper we already started writing.

During this mini-project I want to talk about:

• paraphrasing
• summarizing
• quoting
• paragraph organization
• citations
• works cited page
