Part1: After you have selected your argumentative research paper topic/issue, compose a well-developed of at least 2 substantive paragraphs identifying your topic/issue and the purpose of your research paper. Include mention of what specific points or topics you envision in your research paper and what kind of research you will still need to find. You can also include an explanation on how your thinking on your topic and purpose has or has not changed as a result of completing this assignment. Your main objective is to explain how you envision the paper coming together for you. *The use of personal I statements are perfectly fine for this part of the assignment.*
Part2: Formulate a preliminary thesis statement that you will use for your argumentative research paper. The thesis should indicate to the reader the side of the issue being supported.
Part3: Craft an APA style references citation for each of 5 sources you will use in your Argumentative Research Essay.
*Avoid the use of personal I statements when drafting the thesis statement. Do not use 1st person “I” or 2nd person “you/your.” Stick to 3rd person. Do not refer to the essay itself (Example: “This essay will prove…”).*
*Thesis statements are not in the form of a question.*
