Unit Four, you will compose an essay that will: (a) inform your audience of an issue that you want to find more information about, and which will investigate a research question of your choosing (b) locate your research within an argument to produce a surprising-reversal thesis to engage your audience; (c) properly and effectively cite your sources in MLA style.
What you need to do:
1. Develop a research question suitable for argument.
2. Use library databases to find scholarly and popular sources.
3. Evaluate the sources you find, determining their credibility and usefulness.
4. Develop a thesis-based structure for delivering your information.
5. Weigh how and where to cite your sources, using paraphrase, summary, and quotation.
6. Use MLA parenthetical citations that link to a Works Cited list for all the material you cite in your unit paper—for quotes, paraphrases, summaries, and anything that is not common knowledge.
7. Consider counter-arguments that challenge your thesis (use your research to help deliver these points)
Format:
4-7 double-spaced pages (1000-1500 words) in 12 pt. Times New Roman font plus a Works Cited list in MLA style
One-inch margins
Carefully chosen direct references (quotations) from the text under consideration. Incorporate these quotations using MLA style formatting.
