This assignment brings together all the writing strategies and techniques you have learned as a writer. INSTRUCTIONS: Prepare an academic research essay on “Communication in social networks” This is a broad topic; your essay must focus on a specific aspect of that topic, and your introduction should present a clear thesis statement, which the rest of the essay will develop and support. This assignment will require you to use a minimum of three research sources to a maximum of six sources total. You may use “hard” sources like books and journals that you actually hold in your hands (yes, those still do exist out there), and/or you may access scholarly material such as academic journals, e-book versions of academic books, etc. For an academic essay, scholarly sources are preferable; there may (depending on your topic) be a need for you to use a more “popular” source such as a newspaper, but sources with greater academic credibility are stronger. Your research should draw on a combination of both primary and secondary sources. You must use the MLA documentation style – Note that failure to use MLA style of referencing will result in a deduction of marks. “Communication in social networks” is a general topic. You will then need to narrow your topic into one that is manageable and that will allow you to generate a specific, focused thesis. Focus on an aspect of the topic that you find particularly interesting or significant, and conduct appropriate research. Then write your essay according to the guidelines provided above, keeping in mind that what your tutor will be looking for is an informative, well-argued essay that presents and interprets relevant research material in an interesting, persuasive way.
