As you listen to the podcasts, TAKE CAREFUL NOTES. After, go to the website to find out more about the podcast episode and the research what went into making it. In some cases, you’ll be able to trace back to archives and other documentation. For whichever theme you choose, see what you can find out about the people featured in the episodes from Faderman’s book.
Write up a review of the podcasts, which addresses the strategies the featured people in the podcasts used to challenge discrimination against GLBT people. THE QUESTION THAT YOU ARE TO ANSWER IN THE FORM OF A THESIS IS: given the timeframe that they lived, do you think that their arguments were convincing? Why or why not?
SOURCES:
NOTE THAT for EACH podcast, you should read or examine at least one of the primary or secondary sources that are available on the website for the particular podcasts you chose. Your writing should draw from the podcast, the other sources, and Faderman’s book where applicable.
LENGTH: 4-5 pages, double-spaced and typed.
Technical Requirements:
Papers should be typed, double-spaced, in 12-point Font, with 1-inch margins. They should be 3-4 pages in length.
You can use material from lectures, classroom discussions, and course materials to support your argument. You are not expected to do nor should you do any outside research. Importantly, NEVER cite or consult any material that you’ve found on the internet on the topic.
CITATIONS: Use Chicago Manual of Style. There are LOADS of places to get help with this, including here Links to an external site.. You can also use the “How to Cite Sources” sheet that is posted on Blackboard under Essential Course Documents in order to understand how to use FOOTNOTES OR ENDNOTES.
Writing your papers:
Create a strong thesis. A thesis should be an argument, not a descriptive statement.
Be attentive to the context of the primary source documents (who wrote it, when, for what audience) and the language and stylistic devices the author employs. In other words, why and how they say what they are saying matter as much as what they say.
Use evidence from the primary and secondary sources to support your thesis (argument).
Note on Plagiarism:
Plagiarism includes submitting someone else’s work (their writing or their ideas) as your own, quoting without citing, citing incorrectly, or paraphrasing without proper citation.
To avoid unintentional plagiarism, when in doubt, cite.
If you are paraphrasing, read the relevant passage and then close the book you are working from while you are writing. You still need to cite.
Changing a few words in each sentence from a book or website does not make the ideas your own and is still plagiarism if not cited. Quote any phrases you use.
