Synthesis Essay

With our ever-increasing reliance on digital technology, the issue of internet privacy has become the focus for discussion and debate. Many are left questioning how much freedom we have and how much we deserve in our personal and professional digital lives.

Carefully read all of the provided sources that appear on the list handed out in class and on our class blog (www.rieggereng11.blogspot.com). Then, synthesize information from at least 4 of the sources and incorporate it into a coherent, well-developed essay that defends, challenges, or qualifies the claim that the mining of our digital information from the internet by corporations and the government is an infringement on our rights to privacy.

Make sure that your argument is central; use the sources to illustrate and support your reasoning. Avoid merely summarizing the sources. Indicate clearly which sources you are drawing from, whether through direct quotation, paraphrase, or summary.

  

This essay will be 4-5 pages, typed, 12 pt., Times New Roman font and follow all of the formatting rules of MLA.

Due Date: The paper is due April 8th, 2016

We will be in the computer lab for 8 days between now and April 1st.

Researching Multiple Perspectives to Develop a Position

Students will engage in an inquiry-based, iterative process for research. Building on work with evidence-based analysis, students explore a topic that has multiple positions and perspectives by gathering and analyzing research based on vetted sources to establish a position of their own.

Students first generate a written evidence-based perspective, which will serve as the early foundation of what will ultimately become a written research-based argument paper.

The research-based argument paper synthesizes and articulates several claims using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence to support the claims. Students read and analyze sources to surface potential problem-based questions for research, and develop and strengthen their writing by revising and editing.
