ECON321 Narrative Research Project
Draft of your narrative Regular
In the previous research step, you were asked to come up with a beginning, middle and end for your story. You were also asked to come up with the ‘main economic point’ of your story. For this question, put them together. Put together your beginning, middle and end into a single narrative (which should be no longer than 1.5 pages). Edit it slightly to make sure that the main economic point comes through clearly.
The TA will NOT give detailed feedback on this draft (except as part of the feedback on Question 2). Detailed feedback on your essay is reserved for the final draft, with is the “final exam” for this course. For this question, the TA will be checking that there’s a complete story, with a beginning, middle and end, not longer than 1.5 pages, about the topic you listed, where the main economic point is easy to spot.
Self-critique of your narrative [Regular]
This question is very similar to the first two questions of a regular 3-2-1 report, with slight tweaks (since presumably you understand all of what you wrote), and omitting the final ‘main economic point’ question, since we did that last time
- What are the three main points of your narrative
What are two things you think are missing from your narrative? (Maybe you need more information on a particular person or thing, or you need to find the source of a number, or there’s important context about the time period that you should communicate to your readers…) Take the first few steps toward fixing that. Just like you would in a regular 3-2-1 report, find a source (or multiple sources) that will provide the missing information, and briefly let us know what you found. You’ll be expected to incorporate this information fully into your final draft. Site sources used in APA format
- First thing missing from your narrative:
Missing in the narrative is the role played by men in women’s empowerment during the world war. However, most of the men were against the empowerment of women, there were some nations where the men recruited women to different sectors.
Why this missing information is important: Women could not develop on their own since they were under the headship of men. In any case, they needed the consent of men to be able to participate in the war. Similarly, the information is essential in establishing the long journey of struggle underwent by women in their growth and development in the economic sector.
