Assignment task:
The semester-long project for this course is the term paper on one of the minority identities discussed in the textbook. In this paper, you will want to address the issues facing the particular minority group, theoretical perspectives on minority status, and policy suggestions based on political ideology to create racial equity. This assignment will assist the students with developing a greater understanding of how minority status affects individuals in society.
The purpose of the outline for this project is to begin building the framework for your paper. You will want to answer three basic questions with your outline; what is the group identity you have selected, how did the group arrive in the US, and what are the important issues this group faces. The feedback you receive on your outline should be incorporated into your annotated bibliography assignment that is due in Module 5.
1. You will need to decide on which minority group you will be examining, and will then create an outline for your paper.
2. The outline should contain the overall structure of a paper including an introduction, body, and conclusion
3. The outline should demonstrate how the paper will be sequenced in covering the following topics: background/history of the group, immigration patterns of the group, current issues, including laws or policies affecting the group.
4. The outline will be submitted here through the M02 Term Paper Outline assignment. The instructor will provide feedback and guidance for the final stage of the term paper project.
