Your assignment is to write an argumentative research paper of 1500-2000 words (about 6 – 8 typed pages), which develops an original claim on a topic of your choice. The argument can be any one of the three types we have discussed previously in class: causal, evaluation, or proposal. Guidelines for researching and writing the paper, including documentation, formatting, and revision, are found in Chapters 16-19 of your text. Your paper must be properly formatted using MLA documentation , including a works cited page. A sample research paper can be found in your text, beginning on page 196. There are links to various MLA style guides posted in the Course Materials section of the class webpage.
