RESEARCH PAPER What is this thing?

What is a Research Paper?  A research paper is an expanded essay that presents your own interpretation or evaluation or argument.  When you write a research paper you build upon what you know about the subject and make an attempt to find out what EXPERTS know.  A research paper involves gathering articles or sources that can give you information that will support your position on the topic you’ve chosen.

What is the assignment?  For this assignment, you will be writing a persuasive research paper in which you AGREE or DISAGREE with a topic.  You have already chosen your topic so you are ready to move on to the research component.

What research is needed?  You will be provided 6 sources to read and analyze in order to help you argue your position.  You will be responsible for finding ONE more article from a reliable source that you can use in your paper.

What Common Vocabulary is used in Research?  Position Statement: lets people know where you stand on a topic or debate.  Example: (For School Uniforms) A uniform policy will ensure true equality in schools, save families money, and help schools identify visitors easily.  Concession: the admitting of a point claimed by the other side of the argument.  Example: “Dad, I know taking a trip to another country with my friends may be expensive and unsafe,...”  Counter Argument: an argument or set of reasons put forward to oppose the concession.  Example: ”but I have studied so hard the past year and I think I deserve a vacation. You already know how responsible I have been all my life; I don’t think there will be any problem.”

What Common Vocabulary is used in Research?  MLA Format: a style of writing used for college-level writing.  Works Cited page: An alphabetized list of source citations of works cited (sources used), which appears as the last page of your research paper.  Source Citation: publication information of a source  Example: Author Last, First M. "Entry Name." Def. Number. Website Title. Ed. First M. Last. Comp. First M. Last. Trans. First M. Last. Publisher/Sponsor, Date Mon. Year Published. Web. Date Mon. Year Accessed.  Parenthetical Citation: citations (usually author’s last name) to original sources that appear in the text of your paper.  Example: (Smith)
