All three parts will be based on this :

“My final project will focus on Latinx Americans experiences with immigration and healthcare particularly those of immigrant families. I want to use Parkins concept of empathy to demonstrate that empathy is more than just feeling sorry for others, its also about attempting to comprehend their actual lives. To explain why these struggles occur Ill discuss concepts like racialization and racial capitalism. Ill also demonstrate how Latinx communities support one another and stand up for themselves. “

Create an outline:

Outline Requirements:

Title: (Write in your title)

Introduction: (2-5 bullet points)

Timeline: List and describe 5 events key to understanding your topic

• YEAR – Title of Event
• 1-2 Details about the event and its significance. Include the sources for each of your events.

Discussion: (2-5 bullet points)

• Describe and apply the theory you will utilize to understand your topic. Be sure to include citations for the theory. You can choose any reputable ethnic studies theory. We have covered several in the course so far, including intersectionality and racial formation. What barriers were faced by the group you’re studying? How were they overcome? How does the timeline relate to the course topics?

Conclusion: (1-3 bullet points)

• What’s next? What recommendations do you have for policy or practice?

Final Project Prompt: Write a mini-report and create a complimentary visual timeline

General Requirements:

• 12-point font, typewritten, American Psychological Association (7th edition) paper style (INCLUDING HEADINGS)
• APA Reference List (3 scholarly sources, and the event sources)
• The written portion should be 3 12 – 6 pages double-spaced (Length does not include references, tables, figures, or appendices)
• 1-2 page introduction
• 2-3 page discussion
• 1/2-1 page conclusion
• 3+ scholarly peer reviewed sources: Can be assigned readings or found online (google scholar, JSTOR). No blogs, no Wikipedia etc. These are not the citations for your events, these should be citations related to theory and analysis.
• Should also include 3+ references to your timeline with citations. These can be news sources, historical websites, books, articles, etc. No blogs, no Wikipedia.

• AI Use: If youre using any AI programs to edit your paper (Chat gpt, NotebookLM, Grammarly etc) You must include an author note in the bottom half of the title page to disclose which AI program youve used and describe generally what you used it for.

Introduction:

(1-2 pages) The introduction should describe your topic/focus. Explain why this topic is important. Why is it relevant?

• Hook the reader
• Consider including:
• Personal connection/anecdote
• Relevant news/ current events or overarching trends
• Identify and describe the focus/problem
• A research problem is a definite or clear expression [statement] about an area of concern, a condition to be improved upon, a difficulty to be eliminated, or a troubling question that exists in scholarly literature, in theory, or within existing practice that points to a need for meaningful understanding and deliberate investigation. A research problem does not state how to do something, offer a vague or broad proposition, or present a value question.
• Thesis statement
• Finish by stating the purpose of the project explicitly in 1-2 sentences.
• Thesis statements: breaks down an issue or an idea into its component parts, evaluates the issue or idea, and presents this breakdown and evaluation to the audience.

Discussion:

(2-3 pages) The discussion is your analysis of the timeline in relation to the problem. Using theory, youll consider why the events happened the way they did and why certain actions were taken and/or had certain effects. This section is often considered the most important part of a research paper because it most effectively demonstrates your ability as a researcher to think critically about an issue, to develop creative solutions to problems based on the literature, and to formulate a deeper, more profound understanding of the problem you are studying.

• Reference a minimum of 3 events from your timeline with citations.
• Identify, define, and cite the theory/theories you are using to support your analysis
• Be sure to answer the following questions:
• What theory/theories are you using to support your analysis?
• What barriers were faced? How were they overcome?
• How does the timeline relate to the course material?
• Recommendations:
• Use Quotes Sparingly: Some short quotes are appropriate if you want to emphasize a point, or if what an author stated cannot be easily paraphrased. Sometimes you may need to quote certain terminology that was coined by the author. Do not use extensive quotes as a substitute for using your own words in reviewing existing literature.
• Use your own voice dont try to sound academic

Conclusion:

(1/2-1 page) What’s next? What recommendations do you have for policy or practice?

Timeline: The main component of the assignment is the timeline which visually outlines and describes 5 historical events. All the events should relate to your topic. Be intentional about what you include and why. Be sure you present the events in chronological order and explain the reason you have included the events you selected.
