Homework 3

CAN THIS BE TURNED IN LATE?: NO

BE SURE TO FOLLOW THE FILE-NAMING CONVENTIONS FOR THIS COURSE (5% penalty if you do not).

All files should be saved on your computeras: your last name, followed by an underscore ("_"), followed by the first two letters of your first name, followed by an underscore ("_"), followed by the assignment number. So if a student named Saddam Hussein were to submit assignment number 3, the file name would be:

hussein_sa_3.doc

THIS IS ASSIGNMENT 3

1) What does the word “paradigm” mean and how does the author use it in this chapter?
(you may want to read the entire reading before answering this question).

2) Using at least five sentences of YOUR OWN WORDS, summarize the three paradigms the author defines in the reading.  (To be clear: I’m look for at least 15 sentences—five per paradigm.

3)  Read at least the first three pages of this article from Vanity Fair.

http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2011/05/sex-trafficking-201105

Then, write TWO (2) carefully constructed claim/evidence/warrant paragraphs that explain how and why this article is an example of one of the three paradigms.

You might want to follow this formula:

The Vanity Fair article “Sex Trafficking of Americans: The Girls Next Door” is an example of what Ronald Weitzer calls the [choose 1 of the 3 paradigms] paradigm because [insert short explanation of reason here].   For Weitzer, the most important characteristic of this paradigm is [insert quotation here].  The can see evidence of this feature in the article when  [insert quotation here].    [WARRANT THAT EXPLAINS HOW THE EVIDENCE SUPPORTS THE CLAIM]

Be sure that your paragraphs have at least 5 direct quotations total and that at least 2 direct quotations come from Weitzer and that at least 2 direct quotations come from Vanity Fair.

When writing your paragraphs, be sure that you:

1) place a (CL) before your claim, an (EV) before your evidence, and a (WA) before your warrant.

(-5% IF YOU DO NOT)

2) reduce your direct quotations to 10 or fewer words (see here if you do not know how to do this)

(-5% IF YOU DO NOT)

3) integrate your direct quotations using either METHOD 3 OR METHOD 4 FROM THE EXPLANATION OF HOW TO INTEGRATE QUOTATIONS

(-10% IF YOU DO NOT)

4) punctuate the quotation properly
