For the paper topic, please use the file titled “433A Paper Topic_Question on Central America.”
Everything you need for the first section should be under that same file. You can add to the introduction as needed.
Please use the sources listed in the same file. I have requested seven sources, all included in the file. If you need to add more sources, add only two more.
The first one for the paper-based passage has already been done and is linked under “433A paper passage 1.”
For the second paper-based passage, I have added another file with instructions on how to create it.
It is the file named “Instructions on Passage Based Paper.”
Please let me know if I have left anything unclear or can’t access the files and sources.
Thank you.
Your final paper will be a compilation of the sections you have worked on so far as well as three new sections.
The final paper should be five pages, single-spaced, 12″ font.
Here is an outline of sections that will need to be included in this paper:
Introduction:
Begin with a clear introduction that defines your topic, emphasizes its importance, presents your research question, and states your thesis. Use what you have written in your initial assignment (Paper topic/question) to craft this introduction.
Paper-based Passage 1:
Present and analyze a passage from one of your sources that aligns with your research question. Discuss the perspectives and arguments presented in this passage. (Use what you have written in your Paper Based Passage in this section.)
(DO NOT INCLUDE THE TRANSCRIPT OF YOUR ARTICLE IN YOUR FINAL PAPER.)
Paper-based Passage 2:
Analyze a paragraph from another source that offers an opposing or different viewpoint compared to your first paper-based passage. Evaluate the contrasting perspectives and their implications for addressing your research question.
Critical Conversation:
Based on the insights gained from analyzing Paper-based Passage 1 and Passage 2, as well as any additional research you have conducted, present and argue your position on the research question. Support your argument with evidence and logical reasoning.
Conclusion:
Summarize your argument and explain why your position is the most effective in addressing your research question. Provide a concise recap of the key points discussed in the paper.
Works Cited:
This will be your final works cited page, which goes at the end of your paper and is revised to include any new sources used. Remember that your works cited must be properly formatted (format fonts, margins, make sure it is left justified, alphabetized) and all citations must be APA.
PLEASE NOTE:
DO NOT INCLUDE the section headers listed above in the final paper; they are provided here solely for organizational purposes.
