The Research Project
Response to On the Rez,
by Ian Frazier
Write a research paper that
answers a challenging, worthwhile, grounded question in response to Ian
Frazier’s book On the Rez.
Your question may be inpired
by any point or piece of information Frazier presents in Rez. Your
research may focus on any Native American group, not just the Oglala Lakota.
Although MLA format does not
ask for an abstract, please include an abstract before the main body of the
essay. Center the word Abstract and draw a line under the abstract, thus
separating it from the rest of the essay.
Your question, research
findings and conclusions will be presented to the class. Following your
presentation, you will lead a question and answer period about your project
findings. If you wish to deal with a question that is too broad for one
person to handle in the time allotted and if you wish to work collaboratively,
you may work in a group. You will write the paper for your section of the
project, including the Works Cited page. Your group may present a group
presentation. There are great advantages to collaborative work, and I
encourage it.
