Description

Your essay should attempt to address the following questions about your topic: Describe/explain your issue/topic, and take a strong position on the issue. What is at stake with your issue? Why is it important? How does it impact people’s lives? What is controversial about this issue? What are the important side issues to address? What are the counterarguments? What are the obstacles to addressing this issue? How might these obstacles be surmounted? Your Research Essay needs to include a Works Cited page at the end of the paper, where your sources are correctly formatted according to the sample Works Cited page on Canvas/that I handed out earlier. It also needs to have at least six (6) sources cited that we did not read in class (that you found on your own, on your topic). You may have more than that, but not less. You may have exactly 6 new sources, and then supplement with materials from the class if you like. At least two (2) sources need to be scholarly or peer-reviewed sources. The others may be from reputable other sources such as newspapers and other publications. Sources that are not verifiable (blogs by individuals, etc.) cannot function as research sources. If you have any doubt about the verifiability of any of your sources, don’t hesitate to ask me!
