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.
Define "social," "entrepreneur," and "philanthropy." This should be a part of your introduction. Use the library handout to flush out the difference between the two philanthropist and social entrepreneur and to assist you in your research process tomorrow.
Body paragraphs
Background on the social entrepreneur and what brings him or her 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 does 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 a woman. 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 5-10 years (the length of time is negotiable; see me).
You need to locate 5 sources on your subject to form a bibliography; you only have to cite three (3). The sources can be published or broadcast interviews, books, articles, and films. You can also interview the subject 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 4 pages (English 1A); 3 pages English 201. This does not include the works cited page or bibliography.
