Gender, Education, & Career Choice: Exploration Report: Creation Stage
Compose a report of 1 page in length (single-spaced) that explains your three topics. For each topic, formulate a research question that captures what you’re interested in learning more about. Be sure to write the question as a question, ending in a question mark. (i.e. Why do so many students always forget to phrase their question as a question?).
In essence, your assignment will be made up of three (3) different research questions, with each followed by a paragraph explaining the question and providing commentary. You might explain:
How you came up with the topic;
Why it interests you;
Any related questions that are linked to the topic;
Why you think it would make for a good research exploration;
Who, if anyone, you talked to about it; and/or
What they thought or said about the topic.
See the sample at the end of these instructions for an illustration of what your report should look like.
Evaluation:
What you compose for the ‘Create’ phase of the assignment will not be directly graded at this point. Instead, it will be read by a select number of your fellow students. They will give you feedback.
At the same time, you’ll have a chance to read and give feedback to other students’ submissions. Then you will have a chance to see and reflect on the feedback you received.
Question 1
When government leaders commit war crimes and other atrocities against their people, why are they often not brought to justice at an international court?
Question 2
What are some of the problems with giving foreign aid to other countries?
Question 3
What was Apartheid in South Africa, and how did it last so long?
