A Casebook on a Debatable Issue
A casebook is “a book containing a selection of source materials on a particular subject, used as a reference work or in teaching” (Oxford Dictionaries Online). Casebooks are created to allow students and readers to better understand a subject, an issue, or a written work by providing supplemental material.
Directions: As a collaborative group, assemble a casebook composed of no less than four articles which demonstrate the range of positions that are possible on a debatable issue of your choice. (We will discuss some options in class.)
For all the writing you do in the casebook, your point of view should be first person plural (we, our) to reflect the fact that your group is the collective author.
The following steps are all necessary components of this assignment:
Select four articles that explore and help demonstrate the range of positions that people take on this issue. Select articles that you feel are especially credible, that argue their position effectively or persuasively. You may also wish to explore pieces that you feel are especially not credible to provide an instructive contrast. You may also wish to include articles which you feel are especially informative, though not persuasive one way or the other. The articles you select will be included in the casebook.
Write a Headnote (1-2 paragraphs) to each of the four articles you will highlight in the casebook. The Headnote should contain a brief summary of the article and a statement of how it fits into the overall context of the casebook as a whole. Present at least one pertinent question arising from a consideration of this article.
Write an Endnote (1-2 paragraphs) to each of your four articles. At the end of each article, discuss whether the article is based on fact, opinion, or some combination of both. Explain whether you think the opinions are presented persuasively or not and why. Also, provide a works cited entry for each article.
Include 3-5 images that are relevant to the issue your group has chosen. These may be photographs, drawings, political cartoons, etc. and may appear anywhere in the casebook (i.e. in between articles). Include a brief commentary about how each image is relevant to the issue.
Write an
Introduction to your casebook (2-3 pages) which (1) presents the topic, and the controversy surrounding the topic, to your readers in an engaging way; (2) explains the range of positions you discovered; and (3) introduces the four articles you will feature by placing them into the context of the range of positions you’ve described.
Write a
Conclusion to your casebook that outlines the major questions surrounding the issue. Then present your group’s assessment of the stronger position. Which side makes its case more persuasively? Fully explain your reasoning. If there is dissent in your group, make sure everyone’s views are expressed in the conclusion.
Make sure your finished casebook is assembled adequately. You can use a folder, a three-ring binder, etc.—whatever works for your particular project. The pages should be easy to flip through when assembled and they shouldn’t fall apart. Include a cover page that reflects your chosen topic and states the name of everyone in your group. A table of contents is recommended.
Following the completion and submission of your caseb
ook, there will be an

based on this assignment (written individually, NOT collectively).
Note: Since you will be spending considerable time on this project, it may NOT be revised. It is up to your individual group to proofread and edit your work.
