ENG 190 Project Resources In this course, you will complete a project. There are two parts: A research question and sources A persuasive essay supported by research For Part One, you will list the sources you will use in your persuasive essay and include a description of each source. For Part Two, you will write an essay that states your position on a topic and integrates evidence from the sources listed in Part One to support your key points. You will use at least three sources for the project. At least one article from this Project Resources and two sources that you find through your own research using the Shapiro Library. You may consult with your instructor or the Shapiro Library for recommendations on locating sources. This Project Resources provides a list of categories. Each category is linked to a research starter with background information. Review the categories and research starters. Then choose the category that most interests you. Next, review the articles related to that category to decide on a topic that you would like to research for the project. Review the Project Guidelines and Rubric in the Assignment Information section to better understand the requirements. If you would like to select a different category not on the list, contact your instructor for approval of your selection to ensure the topic is sufficiently debatable and researchable to write your persuasive essay.

In this discussion, you will explore how two of your sources help you understand your topic by portraying diverse perspectives. Discussing challenges that face our world often means investigating opinions and ideas different from your own. Remember to remain thoughtful and respectful toward your peers and instructor in your initial and response discussion posts. Create one initial post and respond to at least two of your classmates. For your initial post, address the following: Identify your research question for the final project. Additionally, list the source that you selected from the Project Resources. Share links to two sources from the Shapiro Library that you have found through your library research. Describe how these two sources support your topic and research question. What different perspectives are represented in these two sources? Which voices are present in these sources, and how do the voices differ? For example, if you are writing about a four-day workweek, an economist, an employee, an employer, and a customer or client might all have different perspectives on this topic because a shortened work week impacts each of them in different ways. Do the voices and perspectives represented in these sources give a full or fair picture of whom the topic touches? If not, what perspectives do you need to consider as you continue your research? For your response posts, address the following: Comment on the sources that your peers shared and how these sources connect to the research questions. Share any recommendations that you might have for your peers. What other perspectives can you recommend for your peers to consider?
