Reading for Friday, November 9
Please review the following two documents. The first is Cesar Chavez's speech ending his first fast in 1968. The second is a speech he made more than 20 years later. Do these two documents, which span the bulk of Chavez's career working for the rights of Mexican American farm workers, reflect change / development / evolution / maturation of Chavez's ideas, or do they reflect consistency of Chavez's ideas throughout this long period?

Mini Research Project #2
Original Title for your Project Write-Up
Your
Oral History Research Project was a qualitative research project in which you
examined one person’s US immigration experience in depth. For this second mini
research project you will take a different – quantitative – approach, defining
a narrow and concise question, then gathering data to answer that question.
Your
project write-up should be six to eight double-spaced pages in length and must
include the 6 sections listed below. Arial font, 11 point, is preferred. Times New Roman 12 point may also be
used. Margins no greater than 1
inch, please.
1) Introduction
– introduce and contextualize your research topic and question
2) Review
of the Literature – briefly discuss what has already been written about your
topic 3) Method
– outline the method used to answer your question… include a copy of your
survey questions; discuss how you defined your survey population and conducted
the survey
4) Results
– summarize (generally in a table, chart or graph) your survey results
5) Analytical
Discussion – what do your results mean in the context of your initial question?
if your results indicate that future research would be useful, what future
research might that be?
6) Bibliography
– absolutely must be included or your project will not be gradable
