Submit Assignment

• Due Dec 13 by 11:59pm
• Points 185
• Submitting a file upload

Required Resources
Read/review the following resources for this activity:

• Textbook: Chapter 15
• Lesson
• Completed Week 5 Source Evaluation Worksheet (included annotated bibliography)
• Minimum of 5 scholarly sources

Introduction
This week, all the hard work you have done in researching your topic and issue will come to fruition in your argumentative paper. Once you feel you have got the final draft, try to put the paper aside, even for a few hours, and then read it again.

• Did you address at least three aspects of the issue you chose?
• Does each aspect have relevant and authoritative evidence in support of your point?
• Have you included a view that is in opposition to your viewpoint, and have you answered that opposing view, pointing out its flaws in such a way as to refute it?

Edit your paper – look for wordiness, repetition, vagueness, ambiguities. Check the organization of the paper as a whole; make sure each paragraph maintains focus. After you are satisfied that the content of your paper is good, carefully proofread it and correct mechanical errors.

Here is a brief breakdown of the project so that you can plan your time in the course:

Argumentative Paper

Instructions
This week, you will complete your argumentative paper. Following the directions in assigned textbook reading on how write an argumentative essay on the issue you chose in Week 1. Be sure your essay contains the following:

• An opening paragraph that states a clear thesis that is focused, plausible, and arguable and that gives direction and purpose to the paper
• A fair-minded, balanced, and objective development of the pros and cons of the issue in a well-organized sequence of ideas, free of mechanical errors
• Credible, reliable, and authoritative evidence in support of the points made
• A strong conclusion that summarizes your views, reminds the audience of the issue and its importance, and shows in brief that you have successfully defended your thesis

Note

As you do your research, it is permissible to change your sources. Also, because of the recency and relevance of these issues, no sources older than 5 years should be used other than as historical information. Critical thinkers do the research first and then side with the preponderance of evidence. You might want to follow that principle.

Assignment 07: Prepare a Working Draft

Directions

At this point in the course, you should have an approved research topic and thesis/question. In this assignment, you will prepare a working draft of your paper with three sections completed: your research thesis/question, definition of terms, and reference list.

Step 1: Define Your Terms

For example, if you write a paper on end-of-life management issues, what do you mean by end-of-life? Are you talking about the care of the aged in nursing homes, or are you referring to those individuals in a persistent vegetative state? You must define “end-of-life”, or other important language like this clearly for your reader.

Compile a list of 3-4 terms that are important in your paper, defining what you mean by them in your own words.

Step 2: Further Develop Your Reference List

Your reference list can grow during your research, and even change during the process. But it is important to stay on track in your research by keeping a record of the sources you plan to use in your paper, even before you begin writing.

Add 3 additional resources to the list you submitted in Week 5.

What to Submit for This Assignment

In a Word document, start a working draft of your research paper. This document should include the following components to be submitted to your professor for approval. Items you should complete now are in bold font. For the other items, include the section title do not complete them at this time.
