This research paper must be at least six pages (not including Works Cited) argumentative paper on a controversial topic of your choice. It must contain introduction and conclusion sections (they can be up to two paragraphs each) and a clear thesis statement. There is no required number of paragraphs, but each paragraph should be fully explained and supported. You must have a minimum of five secondary sources quoted or paraphrased in your paper, fully documented, and NOT PLAGIARIZED. Be careful about this, as this is the major paper. Learn from past experiences with other papers. There is an extended outline due with it. All that means is that instead of simply having five roman numerals, you will have A. B., etc, representing the paragraphs. This is because your main points will be extended as well. We will talk about this more in class. When you turn it in, please bind it or put it in a folder as to protect yourself from misplacing sources. Again, photocopies of EVERY source must be included. Finally, this paper is due the last day of class. Therefore, you can only turn it in late up until the day of the final. PAPERS THAT COME IN AFTER THAT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. Of course, since this is such a huge paper, it is a BIG mistake to turn it in late at all. Give this paper all you've got. Required: - Extended outline - 6 page paper - At least 5 sources - Works Cited - Photocopies of all the Sources you have cited in your paper
