1st   Formal Investigation Essay —McFarland—Summer—2018

 For this Investigation Essay  you will be looking at the topic of social and cultural change in suburbs. We have talked in class about the fact that South Hayward is mostly organized into suburban features, but with out some of the better aspects of suburbs being present. You will be addressing the following questions: 

1.     What are some ways in which South Hayward can be considered a suburb?
2.      What are some problems that a suburb like South Hayward faces? 
3.     What  are some reasons it is relatively difficult to make positive changes in a suburb like South Hayward?
4. What are some strategies or solutions that CAN be applied to South Hayward to bring positive cultural, or social , or economic change?

In some ways, this is a Problem/Solution research paper. In order to support your points, you need to use ideas found in your research, other essays I supply, the concepts you come up with by looking at the previous work of the spring English students, and in any other info, etc. that we have access to.

 Of course you must do do Rule of 3 for each question.
You should also build your paragraphs by following this template for typical academic paragraph

You should try to include more than one quote per paragraph whenever possible. Quote length in a paper of this length should be no more than 1-2 lines. 

The essay’s page minimum is  6 full pages…(BNDJTM…) 

Paragraph topic sentences should start with concepts. Paragraph topic sentences should also feature KEYWORDS, which are taken from the questions that you will be exploring. 

Since we are using outside sources, you will need do a simple works cited page. 

For the Tuesday 1A Class: Paper is due June 28,  Draft day is June 26. (But we will be seeing drafts of your paper on Monday and Wed as well....)
