Gender and Family Assignment | College Homework Help
Introduction
Explain what your paper is about.
- What about gender and family are you covering?
In order to guide your writing, you should have a couple of questions that you are attempting to answer.
- Example: What are the differences across the programs in terms of portraying gender roles within the family and work, race/ethnicity, romantic relationships, children/parent dynamics, family dynamics, class status, reproduction of children (adoption, IVF, biological children, blended families, etc.)?
Include those in your introduction, and name the shows you have watched. In this paper, you would obviously focus on gender.
Literature Review and Overall Body of Paper

Reference List of Your Four Outside Scholarly Resources
Note: Do not use blogs, Wikipedia or other online encyclopedia sources such as answer.com in this assignment. These are not reputable, peer-reviewed scholarly sources.
An excellent place to start is the “Web of Science Database“, which you can access via the FAU library website (you do not have to be on campus to access the database – you will just have to log in via off-campus access)
If you are a fan of Google, be sure to check out the library’s tailored google scholar search. It allows you to access the content available through FAU directly and request it via inter-library loan (again a login is required to do this off-campus).
You must list your four resources in reference formatting APA or ASA.
Don’t forget that the librarians are available to help you with your searches!
