Analysis Essay: There will be a 4-6 page analysis essay
where students will be asked to explore a topic that is
covered in class. The goal is to analyze said topic. This is not
a book report but an exploration paper. A minimum of 4-5
academic sources (articles, written publications, etc.) should
be used but students are encouraged to use more. Electronic
submission of the essay to Blackboard’s SafeAssign section is
due by June, 13th.
Format: MLA/APA (your choice, but stick with one), in-text
citations, a works cited page, grammatically correct.
Analysis: to separate into individual parts in order
understand their influence through examination
The goal of the assignment is to pick a specific topic
and to break it down to see how one aspect
influences/or is influenced by the rest of the system.
Everything is connected and analyzing the impact of
one trait/trend/attribute becomes easier.
Analysis can be easier when asking the right questions
Examples: Why is genital modification taking place in
this region (choose location)? Why don’t the Mosuo
practice marriage? Why are male chimpanzees so
aggressive?—all questions require analysis e.g. looking
at attributes such as economics, ecology, social
organizations and so on, will tie the topic together and
will help you “analyze”
Remember to do a Works Cited Page (Reference List) —
that is your last, additional page where you alphabetically
list all of your sources.
