RESEARCH PAPER PROPOSAL
The research paper proposal is a short paper where you announce what your topic is going to be, review what general knowledge you already have, and indicate the tentative direction you are going in as a thesis.
Paper should be 400-500 words. Title your paper.
First two paragraphs should review background. What is your topic, as clearly and specifically as can be presented? What do you know about it so far? What are possible alternative interpretations of that topic – controversy around that topic, or positions other readers might take?
Third paragraph should be your tentative thesis – what you think the direction of your argument is, and why so far. You can write this paper in the first person “I plan to argue that…” You could also state your research question before the thesis.
Final paragraph should indicate the direction of your research – what you plan on doing from that point on, what you need specifically to learn to understand your topics, i.e. “I would like to find statistics on how many women graduate with a high school diploma in Uganda.”
We are attempting to produce half of your paper. Guidelines overall for the research paper are on blackboard and you should be following your proposal’s main idea.
1000 word minimum. You may go beyond. This is typed and with a title.
You should have an introduction of 1-3 paragraphs discussing necessary background and moving the reader logically towards your thesis. Consider and perhaps include what is your “research Question”, i.e. what are you trying to prove or argue.
Develop the essay beyond your intro and you should have several (more than one. ideally at least 3) body paragraphs that support your thesis with evidence and argument.
You should have cited at least two (perhaps more) of your sources, likely in the body of your essay.
This is not a “rough” draft. The 1000 words should be well-organized, coherent arguments that are clear, proofread and edited.
You should not have “finished” your argument. You have more to add, you may or may not have presented counterarguments/refutations / and you won’t have reached your conclusion. That’s ok. Finish wherever you feel comfortable after you reach 1000 words
include a works cited page
