Paper Topic and Guidelines: How did Patsy Mink’s experiences as an Asian American woman from Hawai’i in US Congress have influence on her legislative activism? In making your argument, be sure to discuss at least one legislative effort that exemplifies these issues. Your paper should focus on the Week 6 readings: Judy Tzu-Chun Wu and Gwendolyn Mink, Fierce and Fearless: Patsy Takemoto Mink, First Woman of Color in Congress (New York: New York University Press, 2022), 123-193. Note that your paper should do more than simply describe or summarize points made in the readings or during lectures and sections. We are looking for a well-developed argument that features your original analysis and insights. Your paper should include a thesis in your opening paragraph, an argument that is coherent and builds throughout the course of your paper, and a conclusion that wraps up your argument and ends the paper. You might find it helpful to refer to the following StoryMap created by Judy Wu: “Patsy Takemoto Mink: A Feminist Legislator from the Pacific” for background information: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/187c9197dbac4ff28f68c36d7d5b5319 However, note that your primary focus should be on the book, and your essay will be evaluated in that context. Rubric: An “A” paper will have: –an original thesis derived from close analysis of the themes of the class and the text –a clear argument that develops over the course of the paper (as opposed to merely summarizing the book and/or class lectures) –well-chosen evidence that directly supports the appropriate components of your argument -insightful commentary that indicates careful synthesis of the class materials –a conclusion that builds upon your original thesis to show how you have taken a new and original direction with the material –appropriate citation of all sources utilized (remember, please do not use outside sources) –solid copyediting (in other words, the final paper will show care in terms of presentation) A “B” paper will have an extremely good representation of the above features, but may have issues regarding how well these features are achieved. A “B” paper will be a very solid effort and demonstrate close adherence to the goals of the paper, but may need more development in one or more categories. For example, the paper might have a fine thesis, but need more evidence or analysis to present a stronger argument. A “C” paper will demonstrate a good representation of the above features, but may have issues regarding how well these features are achieved. For example, a paper in this category might rely heavily on summaries as opposed to analysis, or utilize examples that do not indicate that the writer has undertaken detailed examination of the materials. A “D” paper will have an adequate representation of the above features, but may have issues regarding how well these features are achieved. For instance, a “D” paper might indicate an attempt at the paper topic, but might not show appropriate analysis or evidence. An “E” paper or below is a failing grade and indicates that the paper does not meet the minimum criteria for passing. Citation Note Formatting: Footnotes or endnotes are acceptable, but be consistent with whatever style you use. You do not need to include a bibliography for this paper as all sources need to be drawn from the course. If you decide to use another class source besides Fierce and Fearless, be sure to cite the other source as well. Again, we do not advise you to use sources from outside the course, and you will not gain additional credit for them. For Book: [Sample Text XXX]1 Initial citation format, using page 124 as example.
