Paper Assignment:
Examine and fully explain several concepts from the frame and their relation to the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). Also examine and fully explain several concepts from the case and their relation to the GFC. How can the frames concepts help us understand and extend and/or contradict and learn something new about the cases concepts vis-à-vis the GFC? What does case tell us or uncover about the frame’s concepts? Your final thesis should use the frame’s concepts to extend, critique, or clarify the case’s concepts. You may also form a synthesis but this should also create new knowledge and there should be a clear reason for the synthesis (i.e., the yield is greater than the sum of the parts). You may also draw from the cases we have covered for additional evidence. It should not be compare and contrast or simply say they are the same or different. It should clearly outline why your findings are significant. The essay should be a full five (onto sixth page) to seven pages double-spaced. Include an engaging title.
Abstract
At the beginning of your final paper, you must include an abstract that takes the topic sentence from each of your paragraphs (including your introduction which contains your thesis) and places this in a single paragraph. This should then be read to understand the flow of your argument. If this paragraph jumps around or seems to not link into a logical, linear development then you should work on the organization of your essay.
This assignment builds on what you learned in ENG 102 utilizing the frame/case methodology. You will use one text, the frame (the alternatives listed), to analyze another text, the case (Wray), to learn something new about Wray and perhaps (in the best papers) about the alternative texts. As with ENG 102, do not slip into compare and contrast papers. Instead, use one of the alternatives to diagnose and analyze Wray, as a doctor would use an MRI to diagnose your condition or an economist would use a model to understand the financial crisis. The result is not simply a cataloguing but rather a path to understanding with the possibility of deeper understanding. Compare and contrast papers are boring and represent a lower level of analysis and your grade will reflect this. I do not want you to tell me they are the same or different unless you can clearly tell me why this is significant.
Your thesis statement should be revised AFTER you have written your draft, so you can easily see what you have proven. What can you tell the reader that isn’t obvious? You must have a problem to solve, distinct controversial idea to prove, or a unique idea that analyzes the topic. You ARE NOT comparing essays. You ARE NOT summarizing essays. Your essay must include a thesis statement that will state your position, conflict, and intent.
Your audience: another student in this class, one who knows some basic conceptual elements from the course but needs to be reminded of terminology and how it all fits together. This means an excellent strategy is to have someone else from the class read your paper!
To write a successful essay, you need to:
· define the terms that you use in each paragraph;
· include a thesis that explains what you are arguing;
· take intellectual risks and pursue a deeper understanding of the period;
· include an engaging title reflective of your argument;
· include a clearly stated thesis that explains what you are arguing and relates to both the frame and the case;
· use and explain multiple extended quotations from both the frame and the case;
· include proper (correct!) citation (either MLA and Chicago Style or permission for another);
· explain connections between the texts;
· a conclusion that reviews your thesis and how you supported it; and
· be relatively free of grammatical and syntax errors.
PARAGRAPHING FORMULA FOR MAKING CONNECTIONS (Modified) an exercise for developing excellent essays. by Barclay Barrios with Christy Jespersen
I. Type your preliminary thesis below. You will probably change it after you finish this exercise. (Your thesis should make an argument that answers the essay prompt. You will use evidence to prove your argument. A good thesis both explains what you are arguing and why it is significant. You may use more than one sentence).
*Hint: When discussing the two texts, avoid compare/contrast words such as “similar to,” “different from,” “in contrast,” “in comparison” etc. Instead use words such as “explains,” “elucidates,” “shows how,” “avoids,” “illuminates assumptions” etc.
Take one of the connections that you made in Assignment 1 or a better connection.
TYPE directly below the numbers.
1. Write a provisional topic sentence. (Your topic sentence should explain what your paragraph will argue. You may change it, after you have written the body of the paragraph.)
2. Introduce the quotation from framing text. (Your introduction to the quotation should give the context of the quotation and explain who wrote it. A very good quotation also leads into the argument. For example: Bartholomae and Petrosky employ sexist language when they write, “….” (page number) or Bartholomae and Petrosky provide a new way of reading, when they suggest “….” (page number).
3. Quotation from framing text:
4. Explanation about what the quotation means to your argument and transition to the next quotation from the case text. (This may be one or more sentences).
5. Introduction to quotation from case text. (See #2 for how to write a good introduction to a quotation):
6. Quotation from case text:
7. Connection: How are the two quotations connected? How do they prove your point in your topic sentence? Usually you will write three or four sentences.
Part II. Make another connection with different quotations.
8. Write a provisional topic sentence. (Your topic sentence should explain what your paragraph will argue. You may change it, after you have written the body of the paragraph.)

A very good quotation also leads into the argument.

Continue this until you have developed a complex, interesting argument.
Barclay’s Connection Supplement, or ” Nail That Connection!”
This is a useful exercise to make sure that the CE of your connection, the place at the end where you explain the connection between the two quotations, matches up with the quotations you’ve actually chosen.
1. Select the two quotations you think make a connection (one from the framing text, one from the case text).
2. Take a sheet of paper and draw a line down the middle, from top to bottom.
3. Write each quotation on the paper, on either side of the line, so that you can actually see the two pieces of text next to one another.
4. Underline the phrases in each quotation that you think actually connect and then draw a line connecting them.
5. At the bottom of the sheet, write a sentence in which you explain the connection using each of those phrases.
6. Use this sentence to create your CE.
7. Repeat for the next connection.
The idea is that you not only get to see the pieces of text next to each other, which helps you see the connection, but you also refer directly to the quotations as you explain the connection, and to the exact pieces of the quotation that actually connect. If you can’t find phrases that connect in each quote, then perhaps you should choose some better quotes. If you need to explain the quote for a few sentences before you can make the connection, then there’s probably a better quotation you can use. Go find it.
Things to Remember!
1. Avoid using “I feel,” “I think,” or “it can be argued.” Make bold statements and back them up with textual evidence, the exhibits and theory. No weak, mishmash writing!
2. STAPLE your paper.
3. USE PROPER CITATION!!!!! I will severely lower your grade for a lack of citation. Check the library’s web site NOW! Use the guide you purchased in ENG 102 or purchase this guide if you do not have one. Find out what they use in your discipline or use MLA style (in-text with Works Cited) or Chicago style (footnotes with bibliography).
4. USE evidence.
5. USE evidence.
