Writing Assignment #3
The Six-Source Essay: Expanded Synthesis
Summary of assignment
Task: The six-source essay asks you to synthesize the arguments of six sources
Length: Minimum of 1300 words. The instructor will give you comments on the first
draft and let you know if you need more development beyond 1300 words.
Format: APA
Sources: A total of six sources, all of which you will find through library searches.
Please use the same topic that you used for writing assignment #2. It is recommended that you expand on the essay that you wrote for writing assignment #2.

Articles to Use for the Essay
For this essay, you will select at least six articles ON TOPIC ABOVE The articles should be on the same topic but feature different perspectives, research methods, opinions, or conclusions about some aspects of the topic.
For example, if you are majoring in cybersecurity, you might locate six articles about the need for improved training for employees on mobile security issues. The six articles might take different angles on the topic. The articles might disagree on certain points, possibly disagreeing on the need for more employee training in this area, how to train employees in this area, or when to integrate training during an employees tenure.
To use another example, if you are majoring in criminal justice, you might locate six articles on the CSI Effect. The articles should take different perspectives on the topic. Perhaps three of four of them will say that the CSI Effect exists and one or two will argue that it does not exist. Or perhaps all agree that it exists but they all take slightly different approaches to addressing the problem. Perhaps some were qualitative research studies, others were quantitative research studies, and others were mixed-methods research studies.
Overall, try to determine categories of themes into which you can divide your six articles.

Post your responses here to the readings and to the dance. You can do that together or separately. Do the best you can to incorporate description (what you look at) interpretation (what you see), analysis (what makes you see that), and judgment (what you think/feel).
While youre watching GRACE, in addition to the story, think about the following:

The first reading, from Fifty Contemporary Choreographers, is a nice introduction to the choreographer, Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, and her work. The second is a powerful speech she gave in 1990 that (sadly) could still be given today. Read this, and reflect (posted on Blackboard)

Listen: Our History is Shouting at Us, by JWJZ delivered at the DCA in 1990.
