Argumentative Research Paper Prompt
Your argumentative research paper will incorporate the styles and skills you have developed from the multiple types of essays (narrative, cause and effect, rhetorical analysis, argumentative) you've written throughout this course, in addition to new skills for research. For this assignment, you will:
• Generate your research question about a topic you are interested in.
• Remember to narrow down your topic by using the [What, Why, Who, When and Where? Questions].
• Make an argument about your topic. This argument must be clearly stated in a working thesis statement. All body paragraphs (even expository ones and opposition arguments) must be focused and organized, clearly relating back to your thesis.
• Research sources appropriate to your topic, and effectively use those sources as evidence to support and prove your thesis. Although you may use any texts we used in this class, you must still research and use at least three primary outside sources (*two supporting your arguments and one providing an opposition to your argument). We will discuss research methods and ways to incorporate sources into your writing in class.
• Cite all sources using MLA Format.Your paper must include proper parenthetical citations and an annotated bibliography, works Cited page. We will review MLA citation in class.
Your research paper must be 9-10 pages, typed, double-spaced, in 12 point font, and in MLA format.

• Articles from the Library Database
