Sample Assignment Choose a controversial social issue and write a paper mapping the controversy. To do so, identify all the sides of the controversy (and a true controversy has more than two sides), explain what they are and where they intersect with one another. Summarize and analyze all positions fairly, without advocating or slanting. Incorporate at least three sources, at least two of which are library sources (print sources or sources found in electronic library databases). Document all sources accurately according to MLA style.

Selected Learning Outcomes Students recognize that encyclopedias provide topic overviews and background information, including histories of controversial issues. (ACRL & AASL Standard 1) Students select keywords to represent different aspects of their controversy, stakeholders, etc. (ACRL Standard 2, AASL Standard 1) Students formulate searches using AND and OR (ACRL Standard 2, AASL Standard 1)

Selected Learning Outcomes Students recognize that article citations can be located using a subscription database (ACRL Standard 2, AASL Standard 1) Students select appropriate databases for the types of articles they need (ACRL Standard, AASL Standard 1) Students evaluate websites and articles for authority, accuracy, point of view, currency and relevancy (ACRL Standard 3, AASL Standard 2)
