Worksheet for The Social Entrepreneur Essay
Women in Hip Hop
This is your final big paper, which will look at a woman in hip hop and how she uses art for social change.
The question you want to ask after you have identified a person or two:
1. What motivated this person to want to change something in society?
2. How did this person get the community's support for the project?
3. What did the community gain?
4. What did the social entrepreneur gain?
Your essay needs to answer all of these questions; you can structure it like a typical problem/solution essay or cause and effect.
The person has to be alive. Try to find someone local, who is living in the San Francisco Bay Area or in California. The person has to have been doing this work for 10-20 years. You need to locate 5-10 sources on your subject to form a bibliography; you don't have to cite 10 sources. The sources can be published or broadcast interviews, books, articles, and films or you can interview them yourself. The person cannot be a relative. You can work in groups and share data. In fact, I encourage it.
Due dates
The planning sheet and 5-10 sources are due Monday, November 10 to share.
An outline is due: Wednesday, November 12.
An introduction and conclusion are due Thursday, November 13.
The first draft is due Monday, November 17.
The final draft is due Wednesday, November 19. This draft needs to include a peer review and a meeting with me somewhere in the process to review the essay. Ask the tutor or writing center teacher comment on the five areas we consider when reviewing another’s work (Hacker handout) or specific questions you might have.
You will post the essay, the planning sheet, and all the works cited and bibliography pages on the blog that day in class. We will meet in the lab. You will also email the essay to me.
