For your final essay in the course, you will be doing an iSearch paper. The majo

For your final essay in the course, you will be doing an iSearch paper. The major difference between a regular research paper and an iSearch paper is:
The iSearch assignment requires that you devote time and energy to researching the answer to a question that is specific to you. For this iSearch, you will be investigating how you get “from here to a career!”
This paper is written in the first person (i.e. you use “I”), and it is written in three sections.  
Each section must stand on its own, and each section must be at least two full (all-the-way-to-the-bottom) pages in length. The three sections are Introduction, Research, and Conclusion.
When you are finished, you will combine the sections into one paper. The paper will be 6-9 pages, not including the Works Cited page.
How to Do This Project
This paper should be written in the first person (use “I”), and it is written in three sections. Each section should stand on its own, and each section must be at least two full pages in length.  
When you are finished, the paper should be at least 1500 words, not including your Works Cited page.
Here are the three sections of the research project:
SECTION 1: INTRODUCE THE TOPIC
Before you begin, please identify a future career.  What can you see yourself doing in 5-10 years in the future? How will you get “from here to career”?
The first section of your paper is your opportunity to introduce your topic, your research question, and give reasons why you have chosen this topic to investigate.  
Use Show-Don’t-Tell to get the reader interested in your topic.
Tell what you know about the topic.
Tell what you want to find out.
Discuss how you intend to find answers (your research strategy).
Discuss what you think you will find when you are done with your investigation (your hypothesis).
SECTION 2: RESEARCH
In the second section, discuss what you did to find out more information on your topic.  
Write an introduction (each section should stand alone as a paper).
Tell the reader where you looked, who you talked to, and what you did to research this topic.
For each piece of research information you gather:
Introduce the source of the information.
Give the information you found by quoting or paraphrasing it.
Cite the source using parenthetical documentation according to MLA 8th ed. guidelines.
Explain how that information contributes to your understanding of the topic.
Make sure you tie your research, as a whole, into your topic.  Discuss how the research illuminates, explains, or adds-to your knowledge of your future career.
SECTION 3: WRAP IT UP
The third section is your opportunity to wrap it all up.  Synthesize (condense, bring together) all the information you learned in this research.  
Introduce this section by giving a brief synopsis of the research you did.
Now that you have all the facts, what do they mean?  How do they tie back into the future of your career?
How accurate was your original hypothesis?
Now that you are finished with the investigation, has it changed your initial perception of your future career?  Now that you know what you know, what skills do you think you need to learn now to be competitive?
WORKS CITED
Please make sure you gather your sources for the Works Cited page as you investigate.  Each source must be correctly cited in MLA style WITHOUT annotations or numbers. It must be formatted correctly!!

What constitutes an appropriate role for the judiciary? Some people argue that courts have become too powerful and that judges legislate from the bench. What does it mean for a court to be activist? What does it mean for a court to show judicial restraint? Although conservatives have long complained about the activism of liberal justices and judges, in recent years liberals have pointed out that conservative judges and justices are now more likely to overturn precedents and question the power of elected institutions of government. Conservatives counter by saying they are simply returning to an older precedent that had been ignored by liberals. If both liberals and conservatives engage in judicial activism, what is the role of the concept of “activism” (perhaps judicial activism is just a term used to describe a court decision you disagree with)?

Please do Topic 1:  What is the conservative argument against abortion? What is

Please do Topic 1:  What is the conservative argument against abortion? What is the liberal argument for allowing access to abortion? Why is personhood such an important concept in the abortion debate? Which view do you find most plausible and why?
Instructions
See the general instructions in the Essay Discussion Instructions section of the course menu.
Once you choose which question you’d like to write about, write your essay and post it in the discussion board and also save it as a Word document. 
To create your post, click reply at the bottom of the discussion instructions.
To be able to read and respond to others’ posts, you will first need to publish your own post. Your first post is the one that will be graded–a blank post WILL be graded if it is your first post in the board. You can save your post as a draft, but it will not be published for students to view, nor will it be queued for grading until you click the Submit button.  When you refresh the board, after you publish your post, it will allow you to view everyone’s posts. If you hover your cursor at the bottom of a post, the button to reply to that student’s post will appear.
Use your course texts to help you respond to the topic, and when you quote and summarize from the course texts, include information about the page reference.
You are discouraged from using additional sources. If you do choose to use an outside source, be sure to cite your source, just as you do when you use the course texts. If you use a quotation or an example from a website, cite the website’s URL and the date accessed.
Once you are ready for your classmates to read it, post the thread containing your essay. Then go to the Turnitin dropbox section here in Blackboard and post your Word document into the dropbox. You do not need to include your response to another student in the file that you upload to Turnitin.
Finally, read your classmates’ posts. A complete assignment includes your written response to at least one essay besides your own–part of your score is based on your reply to at least one of your classmate’s posts. It should be a meaningful reply that continues the discussion, points out something good about the post, and makes a constructive suggestion for improvement.
Essay Length tips–To answer these topics completely, it takes a minimum of 350 words. Use the topic questions and the scoring rubric to see if your draft responds fully to all parts of the question. A complete thoughtful answer is more important than word count.
Topics for your Essay, Choose one
Topic 1:  What is the conservative argument against abortion? What is the liberal argument for allowing access to abortion? Why is personhood such an important concept in the abortion debate? Which view do you find most plausible and why?
