Assignment: Social Entrepreneurs: Engaged Citizenry
Introduction
Open with the problem statement. Be descriptive.
The thesis sentence names your social entrepreneur as a person who is addressing the problem identified in the introduction.
Body paragraphs
Background on the social entrepreneur and what brings them to the work. You can cite statistics here to illustrate the problem
Introduce the organization or business venture. Does the work grow out of the community? How do the SE and the community interact?
Are there any partnerships with other organizations and/or government?
Are there any peer reviews or industry reports?
What are the measurable results for the community? Share a story here.
What are the measurable results for the SE. You could quote the SE here.
Narrative
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 (the length of time is negotiable; see me).
You need to locate 5 sources on your subject to form a bibliography; you don't have to cite them all. 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.
You will have three citations: 1 in-text citation, one paraphrase, and one block quote in the essay. The rest of the writing has to be your own. The essay should be 4pages (English 1A). This does not include the works cited page or bibliography.
