During this week
you will upload the first draft of your 5-7 page research paper.

Here is a
guideline for drafting your research paper. Many people follow this guideline;
however, you can do it in the order that makes most sense to you.

First, review your outline and gather the following
information:

Topic

Research Question

Stakes

Thesis

Roadmap

Develop these
pieces into your introduction paragraph.

Second, draft a complete paragraph, including your
research, for each of the main supporting points from your outline. Use in-text
citations for all borrowed material.

Third, draft a complete paragraph, including your research,
which details the main counterarguments. Use in-text citations for all borrowed
material.

Fourth, add the conclusion paragraph. Make sure you use in-text citations for all
borrowed material.

Fifth, read through the entire paper and fix any obvious
errors.

Sixth, check your References page for APA formatting.


Finally, submit your first draft to Moodle.
