“Students are required to submit a persuasive research paper of 8 – 10 pages (typed double-spaced and not including the references page and title page) on a Canadian, Indigenous topic. Students who submit a paper on a topic not involving Canadian, Indigenous people, communities, issues, or events will have to either rewrite the paper or receive a failing grade. The basis for the grade will be the thesis statement, road map, content, referencing, writing mechanics, etc. Students will need to synthesize at least five academic sources other than course readings. Course materials and non-academic sources will not be accepted as sources for this paper and students will be penalized for their use. Students should use online sources carefully because many of these are not academic sources. Do not use Wikipedia or any other similar websites. Written assignments are expected to be in Chicago Manual of Style format. Be sure to provide a cover page with a title, your name and student number, name of course and instructor, and date. Papers should be double-spaced in Times Roman 12-point font and one-inch margins. Do not add subtitles or extra space between paragraphs. Subtitles, extra spaces, and footnotes are not included in the page count.Students are required to submit a persuasive research paper of 8 – 10 pages (typed double-spaced and not including the references page and title page) on a Canadian, Indigenous topic.

Just aim for it to sound like my work, not crazy smart but reasonable enough I’ve started on the topic of Indigenous children in the foster system, but if you need to go a different direction there is Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, or Residential Schools, or all of them in one works to fill in space too. I’m struggling. I would like to paper to sit in the high 80%.
