Answer each component of the above question by constructing a clear thesis. The thesis equals your main
\nclaim or assertion, along with supporting claims that make the overall argument persuasive. To substantiate
\nyour argument and defend your position, you must use direct quotes from at least four different
\nrequired readingsfrom at least two weekly units [weeks one through three, through\/including Lorena
\nOropeza].
\nYou may incorporate more than the minimum quota of course reading direct quotes, and you may
\nparaphrase authors in addition to, not in lieu of the verbatim quotes. However, you may not use block
\nquotes (4 double-spaced lines or more from verbatim quotations indented and single-spaced). The best
\nessays skillfully use specific examples and quotes, engaging deeply with multiple readings and placing the
\nauthors in dialogue. In short, compose an effective essay by substantiating your argument with the evidence
\npresented in the class materials, balancing your analysis and your voice with a mix of interwoven key quotes
\nand paraphrasing.
\nThere is no \u201ccorrect\u201d answer to the question. You do not have to agree with the authors, but you
\nmust address their theoretical concepts and analytical assertions. You may dispute the authors\u2019 claims to
\nadvance your thesis, make an original point, or briefly acknowledge a possible counter argument. You may
\nalso quote the lectures and videos from throughout the quarter, but do not use any outside sources or refer
\nto current events or personal experiences.
\nTo answer the midterm paper question, it may be helpful to consider: ethnicity; race; class;
\ngender; politics; language; pocho\/pocha; rasquachismo\/rasquache; values; political generations;

\nunder \u201cMidterm and Final Papers\u201d: \u201cETST 002 Writing Guidelines.\u201d
\nTechnical Requirements\/Formatting Directions: Do not use footnotes or endnotes. The author and page
\nnumber of each reading quoted or paraphrased must be cited in parentheses at the end of the sentence that
\ncontains the quotation, such as: (Garc\u00eda, p. 32)
\nAudiovisual material and other lecture citations should numerically specify the class month & date in
\nparentheses at the end of the sentence, such as: (Lecture, 7\/9). Papers must be typed in 12-point Times
\nNew Roman font, double-spaced with one-inch margins on all sides of each page. Papers must have a
\nseparate title page with an original paper title (concise, reflects thesis) and subtitle (creative, foreshadows
\npaper content), your name, and section number. Each page must be numbered except title page. No Works
\nCited page is necessary. Including too many distracting typographical, grammatical, organizational, and\/or
\nformatting errors will lower your grade, as will failing to follow these instructions. No plagiarism or AI
\nwriting assistance.
\n*Print the Rubric (p. 2 of this assignment) and staple to the end of your paper.
\n\u2022Papers must be four pages in length.
