Follow rubric and additional instruction
I already have a topic memo completed ( has thesis statetment and bib) which is your base for this essay, encourgarged to use only the provided resources but if you really need to change it then let me know and no more then 11 resources.
Each student will write a research paper based upon the Topic Selection Memo outlined above and the peer review feedback from Eli Review. Strong papers should have a clear research question, state a clear falsifiable argument or thesis, and provide evidence to support the argument and counter alternative arguments. The final paper should be at least 2,500 words long (and no more than 3,750 words), not including the bibliography
The structure of the essay is fairly straightforward — it’s a standard argumentative essay: question, thesis, evidence and analysis, and rebuttals to counterarguments. • Question: What is the research question and why is it important? • Thesis: What is your primary argument regarding the question? • Evidence: What evidence do you have to support your claim? Be sure to define key terms, provide information from the literature that supports your argument. Since you’ll be drawing on existing papers for evidence, cite extensively to make it clear which papers each piece of evidence is drawn from. • Argument/Analysis: Cite specific pieces of evidence (facts, data, interpretation) from the articles you’ve gathered to make and support your argument • Rebuttals to Counterarguments: If you argue that X caused Y, consider whether there are reasonable claims that some other factor Z caused Y. If you argue that X is increasing, consider reasonable perspectives that X is not increasing or is decreasing. If you argue that X was successful, make a good effort to present why someone might argue that X was not successful. If possible, consider the validity of 2-3 three alternative answers to your research questions, drawing on the literature and citing research. Offer thoughts on the credibility of the alternative arguments. Explain why your argument still stands up in the light of these alternatives
