This written paper will be the basis of the arguments you will make
in the trial of Max Havelaar during weeks 11 and 12. Please note
failure
to attend any of these meetings will result in a 5% reduction from the
grade on the paper, each day's attendance being worth 5% of the grade
for
Formal Writing #3. Also, please note that failure to submit a
rough
draft by noon of March 24 will mean you cannot participate in the
Colonialism
Game.
Tips for writing the paper:
1) Read through the "General Background"
and the "Objective Sets" so
that you understand what your character can and cannot do and what sort
of arguments might work best.
2) Your "thesis" or main point in the
paper should consist of the
position you are taking in the trial, e.g. the regent is
guilty/innocent because.....
3) After presenting your thesis provide
evidence supporting
it. Your testimony cannot be effective if you simply assert or
insist that your perspective is the right one.
4) The paper should be written in the
first person since the
testimony will be delivered in the first person during the trial and
should be addressed to the court or the court convener.
5) Please note that 100% of your mark for
this paper will be dependent on the written performance.
6) As you all will know, no one is
allowed to turn in the next paper (the Max Havelaar paper) without
first confirming with me that they understand the nature of the
assignment. If you have written a rough draft you are
covered. Otherwise you will need to respond to my e-mail or
in-class query on this matter in order to be allowed to submit the
paper. If you have not spoken to me by Wednesday then the paper
will not be counted as on time until you do. Please keep this in
mind!
