Introduce and Explain
a. Explain something (for example, someone’s argument, a historical occurrence, a theory, perspective or approach). For this course, you should take an author we have read or another author fitting for the topics of race, gender, class and/or another identity formation, and either explain their position or compare and contrast their position with a second author.
STEP 2: Evaluate and Exemplify
a. Evaluate and critique author(s)’ point of view using logical reasoning, based on samples of evidence found in contemporary social field, civil society, public institutions etc. You should find evidence in the world around us to exemplify your evaluation of the authors’ perspectives. You should explicitly state whether you agree or disagree with said authors’ perspective and explain why using examples.
STEP 3: Argue and Conclude
a. Organize your thoughts to produce your own theory, perspective, revelation, opinion, etc. using whatever evidence at your disposal. You may form a perspective using another author, a political orientation, or some other body of knowledge. You should explain how your perspective is different from the authors you have chosen to explore.
