B. Paragraph #1: State an overview of the topic. Describe the essential components of the topic. Show your understanding of how these components interact to create a logical system. For example, if the topic is “Waves”, then define and describe the fundamental properties of waves. Try to make a definition that includes all aspects of waves, but excludes all things that are not waves (for example, different types of ocean waves include: gravity waves, deep-water waves, shallow water waves, tsunami, wind waves, and seiche waves). Give examples to support your explanation of the topic. (20 points)
C. Paragraph #2: Choose one aspect of the main topic, then go into greater depth and detail describing it. Break it down further into its fundamental parts. For example, given the concept of waves as a topic, you might choose tsunami, describing what the term means, the history of tsunami, how they are generated, and their effect on shorelines and life. Use examples to support your thoughts. You may choose historical events to further deepen our understanding (e.g., the Fukushima, Japan disaster of 2011, or the Banda Aceh tragedy of 2004). (20 points)
D. Paragraph #3: State a personal connection that you have with the topic. Choose any aspect of the topic that you have had a special personal connection to, then describe in detail that connection, along with your personal feelings in a way that can make the rest of us understand and relate to your experience. For example, you took a vacation to Hawaii and visited the ancient volcano Diamond Head at Waikiki on the island of O’ahu. It was a particularly calm day, so you decided to boogie board the waves at the point. All of a sudden, a ‘freak’ wave caught you and sent you straight up 7 meters on a breaking mountain of water. Just when you were about to be swallowed by the ocean forever, an unseen hand reached out, grabbed you, and plopped you on his surfboard. It was Chris Ward, out that day at Waikiki practicing up for the Mavericks competition. Lucky you. (20 points)
E. While writing your essay, use seven (7) required terms from The Etymological Dictionary of Earth Science. Highlight those terms in the body of your essay. When you have completed the essay, make a list of those terms at the end. Write out the history of the term (its etymology) as given in the required text, The Etymological Dictionary of Earth Science, along with its complete definition. You do not have to copy the ‘First usage’, ‘Synonyms’, or any other part of the dictionary entry. (30 points)
F. Read your own essay, and edit it for errors and improvements. Do not rely just on spell & grammar check. Read it out loud at least once so you are familiar with it, and so you can read it to the class if asked to do so.
G. Have the essay complete and ready to hand in at the beginning of the class period.

1500 WORDS Introduction
Present a popular myth believed to be true
Pose a question which challenges the common belief
Respond to question with surprising reversal Supporting Paragraphs
Provide evidence to debunk the myth or to support the fact
Cite at least three different sources Conclusion
Summarize key points
Confirm the falsity of the myth or the veracity of the fact
How is behavior or sexuality is portrayed to children through media?
How do I write up my final project?
The project should be written up like a short academic research paper, such as one you would find in a
Cultural Studies journal. Broadly your paper should answer the following key questions not necessarily in order:
What you wanted to find out (research question/aims)
What you did (methods)
Why you did it (motivation/justification/importance of your research)
What you found (findings/results)
What you make of what you’ve found (analysis/discussion/conclusions)
Writing Style: Some of you may be writing a more reflexive personal project. Such a project will require a more personal writing style than many of you will be familiar with. Writing in the first person (“I”) is legitimate for this type of project. But take care to balance personal assertions with theory or relevant quotations from academic sources.
Organisation: There is some flexibility in how you organise your paper; for example, whether or not to use subheadings; whether to include images or diagrams and whether these should be included in appendices or embedded in your paper.
Your paper must include the following components. You do not have to use the component titles as subheadings. Word counts are guides only:
Title: the title should inform the reader about the topic of your paper, it may incorporate your research question e.g. ‘Memory spaces: exploring the afterlife of children’s popular culture’; ‘I know what I can handle’: young people, media and identity’
Introduction (200 words): usually will include:
your research question/aims/objectives
the motivation for or importance of your research
overview of the organisation of your paper
Literature review/background/history (600 words): brief account of secondary research relevant to your topic, may be part of your introduction, may be used to explain importance of your research or the motivation for your research e.g. the existing research on sexualised images of children may be used to justify or contextualise your own research
Methods (400 words): an account of what you did and how you did it; may include:
Age, gender, number of participants in your research
The name and date of publication of magazine you studied; or name of program studied, date
broadcast
When and where you conducted your research
Details of how you collected/recorded data
• Acknowledgement of other people’s methodology that has provided a model/framework for the methods you used (e.g. Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis or Mitchell & Reid-Walsh’s work on memory)
5. Findings/results (400 words): clear statement/summary of the primary data you collected /your main findings
Note: it is often useful to discuss/analyse your findings rather than present them in separate sections
Analysis/discussion of findings (700 words): In many ways the most important section of your paper. This is where you relate what you have found back to your research question. Your analysis will be based mainly on information from secondary sources. You must use key concepts, issues and theoretical frameworks from the unit to analyse/discuss your findings (not from other academic disciplines such as Psychology or Education). You may also use additional relevant sources and compare your findings with other relevant research. This section may include:
Conclusions, speculations
Discussion of the limitations of your research
Conclusions (200 words): may be a separate section or combined with Analysis/Discussion. This section may:
• Suggest possible directions for further research
• Relate what you’ve found to the big picture i.e. ongoing debates in children’s culture • Relate what you’ve found back to your research question
Bibliography: APA referencing (See library website)
Appendices (if needed)

Final Argument Paper DUE OCTOBER 24, 2015 Marijuana should be legalized for recreational use? Your paper should demonstrate the ability to construct a deductively valid or inductively strong argument, clearly and accurately explain your reasoning, use high-quality academic sources to support the premises of your argument, fairly and honestly evaluate contrary arguments and objections, and identify fallacies and biases that occur within the arguments or objections presented. You will continue to build on the option you chose in your Week One Initial Argument Paper. You will need to research a minimum of three scholarly sources In your paper Explain the topic you are addressing and your position on it. Provide a preview of your paper and a statement of your thesis in your opening paragraph. [Approximately 100 words] Present your main argument for your thesis in standard form, with each premise and the conclusion on a separate line. Clearly indicate whether your argument is intended to be inductive or deductive. Follow up the presentation of your argument by clarifying the meaning of any premises that could use some explanation. [About 150 words] If your argument is deductive, then it should be valid (in the strict logical sense of the word); if it is inductive, then it should be strong. Make sure to avoid committing logical fallacies within your argument (e.g., begging the question). Additionally, the premises should be true, to the best of your knowledge. If one of your premises has a pretty obvious counter-example, then you should either fix the argument so that it does not have this flaw, or later, in your paper (steps three through five) you should address the apparent counter-example (showing that it does not really refute the truth of your premise). Arguments that are not valid, not very strong, commit fallacies, or that have counter-examples that are not adequately addressed will not receive full credit. Provide supporting evidence for the premises of your argument. [Approximately 350 words] Pay special attention to those premises that could be seen as controversial. Evidence may include academic research sources, supporting arguments (arguments whose conclusions are premises of the main argument), or other ways of demonstrating the truth of those premises. This section should include at least one scholarly research source. Explain a strong objection to your argument. [Approximately 250 words] Study what people on the other side of this question think about your reasoning and present the best possible objection that someone could have to your argument. Do not commit the straw man fallacy here. Reference at least one scholarlyresearch source. Defend your argument against the objection. [Approximately 200 words] Once you have presented the objection, indicate clearly how you might respond to it. It is acceptable to admit that reasonable people might disagree with you or that there might be an area in which your argument could be further strengthened, but you should do your best to explain why your argument is sound or cogent despite the objections. Provide an appropriate conclusion. [Approximately 75 words] The Final Argument Paper Must be 1,100 to 1,400 words in length, double-spaced, (not including the title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style Must include a separate title page with the following: Title of paper “I Smoked Two Joints” Student’s name PHI103 Instructor’s name Date submitted Must use at least three scholarly sources in addition to the course text. The Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources table Must document all sources in APA style Finally, Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style
