Q Paper 2 Length: 1,000-1,200 words, including works cited list. Points and Deadlines • Rough Draft (700-900 words) due by midnight, Monday, October 5. As with Paper 1, you do not receive credit for the rough draft itself. You receive credit for peer review. In order to participate in Peer Review, you will need to submit a rough draft. • Peer review will be worth 5 points and will be due by midnight, Wednesday, October 7. Revised: • Final Draft due by midnight, Tuesday, October 13. • Late final drafts of paper 1 will be accepted up to 5 days after due date but with a 20% reduction in points for each day (20% off the grade the paper earns). Late rough drafts and peer reviews will not be accepted. Your paper should present an argument in response to your choice from the prompts below. That is, this is not to be a descriptive paper that summarizes the texts. It should have clearly connected points in support of your argument. Your reader should be able to follow these points easily and understand how each connects to your larger argument. Outside Source You are required to incorporate one outside source relevant to the topic or theme you choose. This must be from a reliable publication: a newspaper, magazine, journal, or book. Given our current remote learning situation, it must be available electronically. You will cite this source in MLA or APA format and include it (with your two class texts) in a Works Cited list at the end of your paper. Choose one essay prompt and follow the instructions below. Do not rewrite the question at the top of your paper. Remember to create a strong, critical argument of your own. Essay Prompts: Option One: Using the following three texts, discuss the ethics of using social media in higher education. You should have an argument for your paper. Texts: Audrey Watters, “A Hippocratic Oath for Ed-Tech”; Stathopoulou et. al, "A Multi-stakeholder View of Social Media as a Supporting Tool in Higher Education"; and ONE outside source (see above criteria). Option Two: Using the following three texts, discuss what you believe is the key (meaning one) ethical question to be considered when choosing EdTech tools. Texts: Audrey Watters, “A Hippocratic Oath for Ed-Tech”; Tressie McMillan Cottom, “Rethinking the Context of Edtech”; and ONE outside source (see above criteria). REMINDERS FROM PAPER 1: • You must follow the guidelines below. This includes using MLA or APA style for any citations. (Choose one and be consistent throughout the paper) • You must have a title. This title should give readers an idea of your essay’s focus/argument. • You must include ONE outside source in addition to the two chosen from class. Organizing your paper: 1) In the opening paragraph, this paper should have a strong, critical argument that goes beyond surface observations. Introduce the texts the paper will analyze. *Tip 1: Identify the texts you are analyzing and explain the impact or consequences your argument will have for your readers. Be careful to avoid generalizations and stereotypes! 2) The subsequent (body) paragraphs should analyze specific passages from your texts to demonstrate how you’ve arrived at your argument and interpretations. *Tip 2: Analyze don’t summarize! This is not a book report. Make points throughout the paper that relate to your argument using keywords from your opening paragraph. 3) You will need to incorporate direct quotations from the texts you analyze. These quotes MUST follow MLA or APA citation style. For information on citations, please consult your writing guide or visit the Purdue OWL (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/). *Tip 3: Do not allow quotations to overwhelm your paper! For any direct quotation you include, make sure to write an ANALYSIS of the passage that is roughly double the length of the quotation itself. 4) A Works Cited or References list is required. Please consult your writing guide or the Purdue OWL for instructions on formatting. 5) Your paper should be 1,000-1,200 words in length. Use 12 point Times New Roman font and one-inch margins all around. Be sure to include a title and page numbers. Proofread your paper paying attention to sentence mechanics, consistent syntax, style, and grammar.

And, although there are criticisms regarding the negative implications of social media use, there is no disagreement regarding the potential benefits of its use in higher education.
