You are not required to answer each item below the rubric criteria but may use them to better understand the criteria and guide your thinking and writing.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
1. Integrate reliable evidence from varied sources throughout your paper to support your analysis.
It is important to draw from a more diverse pool of perspectives from varied sources to support the analysis. This is different from the Citations and Attributions rubric criterion.
Reliable evidence from varied sources should be interwoven throughout the paper itself, while citing and attributing sources will be represented as APA in-text citations and a reference list at the end of your work.
You will be evaluated on both criteria.
2. Describe a social or global issue or event that is related to the issues of wellness. Include information such as the origin of the issue and what it is about.
What main points should you include about your topic? What other details are needed to ensure a thorough description?
3. Describe a population significant to your topic. Include information such as demographics, cultural practices, social identity, and key challenges.
Examples could include a population who is directly impacted by the topic, a group that works with those people directly impacted, or a group that has strong feelings about the topic.
4. Assess how society impacts the chosen issue or event.
What examples clearly illustrate how the larger global society has impacted the issue or event?
5. Explain your choice of general education interdisciplinary lens for analyzing your topic.
What made you choose one lens over the others? Was it an easy decision? Why or why not?
6. Construct a thesis statement that combines your topic, population, societal situation, and choice of general education interdisciplinary lens.
Your thesis statement should clearly and concisely state the relationships between your topic, population, cultural situation, and lens. It acts as a hypothesis proposing how these elements will work together during your critical analysis.
