Prompt: Write an original, well-developed, grammatically correct 750 -1000 word research paper that you will later expand into your term paper. Your Mini Research Paper will present the thesis you plan to use for your Term Paper, but you will only give two to three pages of support (as opposed to seven pages). Your Mini Research Paper must:
follow MLA formatting guidelines.
include an introductory paragraph that begins with an attention-getter/background information and then transitions to an argumentative thesis, two to four body paragraphs that support the thesis, and a conclusion.
Effectively utilize two to five credible sources and correctly document those sources according to MLA citation guidelines. Within the paper, research (whether quoted, paraphrased, or summarized) should be introduced with signal phrases and, when necessary, followed by parenthetical citations. Quotations should be brief and kept to a minimum number. Any quotes should be sandwiched between signal phrases that introduce the quoted material and explanations of the quoted material. The works cited page should be complete and correct.
FAQ: Will I be able to reuse my Mini-Research Paper when I write my term paper?
A: Yes! If this paper is a success, you will simply need to add to it to complete your Term Paper.
FAQ: Should my Mini-Research Paper include background information, all of my supporting arguments, and a counterargument/rebuttal section?
A: No! Your mini research paper will likely only include your introduction, one or two of your supporting arguments, and a conclusion.
