CPW4U: Individual Assignment #1

Symptoms:

• begin paragraph with a short, declarative sentence establishing that a migration 'crisis' now exists.
• deliver "only the facts". Sentences should contain hard facts, statistics, precise dates, precise names etc.
• avoid explaining or offering analysis. Words such as "because" or "caused by" indicate analysis; save the analysis for Diagnosis section.
• all information must be referenced. Your sources are as much of the conversation as the text you are writing. Impress your audience with the depth and breadth of your reading. Stand on the shoulders of giants; base your work on professional, credible sources.
• almost every sentence in the symptom section should be footnoted. (First & last may not, but every sentence in between must be referenced.)
• avoid 'paraphrasing too closely'. Plagiarism can happen by accident. If your wording is too close to the original, you are not the author; passing off others work as your own.
• Symptoms section should be approximately 1/2 to 3/4 page double-spaced; the bottom third of the page should contain quite a few footnotes.

Diagnosis:

• begin paragraph with a short, declarative sentence stating the 'cause' of the migration crisis.
  • Your second sentence should clarify how your 'cause' stands in relation to current Canadian foreign policy diagnosis. Is your diagnosis different, similar? to a small extent, large extent? Once you make this distinction in your first two sentences the reader will have a clear understanding of what you will be explaining in the rest of your Diagnosis section.
• As you guide your reader through your thought process, for comparative context, be sure to integrate the diagnosis from
  • 2 "peer" countries (state actors)
  • an international Non-Governmental Organization (a non-state actor).
• Note: you will require academic references when your discussion leans on precise information and ideas. Your reader will judge the value of your work by the quality of your sources. Additionally, since the diagnosis should be your own analysis, the sudden absence of footnotes will make your own ideas stand out.
• Your Diagnosis section should be roughly 1-2 pages double spaced with footnotes.

Prescription:

• begin paragraph with a short, declarative sentence stating your 'prescription' for the migration crisis.
  • Your second sentence should clarify how your 'prescription' stands in relation to current Canadian foreign policy diagnosis. Is your prescription different, similar? to a small extent, large extent? Once you make this distinction in your first two sentences the reader will have a clear understanding of what you will be explaining in the rest of your Diagnosis section.
• As you guide your reader through your thought process, for comparative context, be sure to integrate the prescription from
  • 2 "peer" countries (state actors)
  • an international Non-Governmental Organization (a non-state actor).
• Note: you will require academic references when your discussion leans on precise information and ideas. Your reader will judge the value of your work by the quality of your sources. Additionally, since the diagnosis should be your own analysis, the sudden absence of footnotes will make your own ideas stand out.
• Your Prescription section should be roughly 2-3 pages double spaced with footnotes.

Works Cited

• The "Works Cited" page is the last page in your assignment. Now that you are in Grade 12, you should NEVER submit written work without proper academic referencing throughout your work, and a "Works Cited" or "Bibliography" at the end.
• A proper "Works Cited" page contains the following:
  • All sources listed alphabetically by sur-name author
  • Single spaced within each source entry
  • Double spaced between each source entry
  • Only the first line in each entry touches the left margin; each subsequent line is indented one Tab Space in from the left margin

Appendix

• If you required the use of an Appendix to present graphs, charts, maps, or tables, the Appendix is placed at the end, following the Works Cited.

Formatting

• Separate title page (reference MHS Style Guide)
