Investigate human rights abuses in Canada and the different approaches Canada has taken to address them. Choose one topic such as The Exclusion Act, Residential
Schools. 1. A thesis: Write a 200-word paragraph stating the significance of your topic, some necessary background, issues at stake, etc. Then, state what is it
exactly that you are going to argue. You could write one or two questions that you are going to answer via your essay. 2. A thesis statement: Write a thesis statement
for your essay. Remember: A thesis statement does not just announce a topic or express a fact. It should express an idea or opinion that someone might disagree with
and therefore, an idea that needs to be explained and supported by research. 3. An annotated bibliography: “An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books,
articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually 100-150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the
annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited” (www.dictionary.com). For each source you use, write a short
evaluative summary (one paragraph). It should answer the following questions ?at least three annotations of research materials?: What is the source about? Who was it
written for? How is it organized? How useful is it? How do you evaluate the quality of thought, the evidence offered and the organization?
