Journal Assignment: The Future of Your Topic

Thus far, you have provided an introduction, a discussion of the debates, and a discussion of the major voices in your subject. Now, with some expertise on this subject, you can confidently say where future attention should be focused. This is not a place for you to argue with the sources. It is a place for you to recognize where they—as a whole—have not covered everything about this topic that there is to discuss. As you write, make sure that you do not enter into debate. Your task is to describe what still needs to be explored.
