(Part 1) Assignment Descriiption: Create an annotated bibliography of two academ

(Part 1) Assignment Descriiption: Create an annotated bibliography of two academically credible sources, and a research proposal of at least one full paragraph. Total, the assignment should be at least 300 words.
Part I: Create a short, annotated bibliography of your two strongest sources: one that is in support of the pro side of your topic and one that is in support of the con side of your topic.
Create a reference citation using APA Style and a short annotation or summary for each source. In your own words, explain the article’s purpose and conclusions. Then, explain how you might use the information from the source within your paper.
Part Il: Write a short research proposal paragraph that explains your chosen research topic, arguments on either side of the controversy, and finally, your tentative thesis statement. The purpose of the research proposal is to help you understand your project, gain direction and feedback on your project, and establish a blueprint for your project.
• Begin with a few sentences that offer context (background information) about the topic.
• Then, detail the controversy surrounding the issue, and include at least two sentences detailing the arguments on either side of the issue.
• Finally, offer your tentative thesis statement. The thesis statement is your overall argument about the issue, and it is normal to hone and strengthen the thesis statement throughout the first few stages of the writing process, so it is okay if your thesis statement is not exactly where you want it to be just yet. The thesis should make a solid argument and offer a justification of the position (tell your reader why the argument is valid, important, or true).
(Part 2) Assignment Descriiption: Write your paper’s intro paragraph (150-200 words) and outline at least three body paragraphs.
Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to begin drafting your academic argumentative research paper and to present a references page with at least three sources.
Descriiption: In this assignment, you will begin drafting your paper, beginning with the introduction paragraph that introduces your reader to the topic, controversy, and your main argument. Next, you will provide an outline of the three body paragraphs that will support your thesis. Finally, you will develop a references page with at least three academically credible sources.
Introduction (roughly 150 to 200 words): The intro paragraph provides your reader with an overview of the topic, the controversy surrounding the topic, the arguments on either side of the issue, and finally, the intro finishes with the paper’s thesis statement, or the overall argument about the issue. For more details about what is expected for each of the following sentences, please see Unit IV, Lesson 2: “The Introduction.” The following components should be included in the introduction (in the following order):
• Sentence 1: Introduce the general topic
• Give your reader basic information about the issue.
• Sentence 2: Narrow the scope
• Continue to provide specific context information leading into your introduction of the controversy.
• Sentence 3: Specific controversy
• Describe the central controversy related to your overall topic.
• Sentence 4: Pro side
• Describe the argument on one side of the controversy, the pro or for side.
• Sentence 5: Con side
• Describe the argument on the opposing side of the controversy, the con or against side.
• Sentence 6: The thesis
• State your overall argument about the issue and offer three reasons to justify the argument.
It is OK if your intro paragraph is slightly longer than six sentences (your thesis may be two complete sentences, for instance, instead of one, or you might need two sentences to introduce the general topic or describe the controversy).
However, the intro paragraph should not be too much longer than the sentence/word length specified here.
Outline (at least three body paragraphs): The outline will offer the topic sentence and at least two points of evidence and explanation for three supporting body paragraphs. Note that you are not writing body paragraphs yet. In this unit, you are planning those body paragraphs by outlining the topic and providing evidence that you will use in each of those body paragraphs, which you will fully develop when you create your final paper.
The topic sentence is the first sentence of each paragraph and introduces the main point or focus of the paragraph; each of the body paragraphs should address one of your three justifications from the thesis statement. Your topic sentences should be fully developed, but the supporting evidence and explanation points do not need to be presented in complete sentences; however, the more you are able to completely structure your outline, the more your professor will be able to offer feedback and instruction. Evidence should consist of statistics, studies, direct quotes, examples, etc. from your source materials, and the explanation should indicate how the evidence supports the overall point of the paragraph. Be sure to provide citations for the evidence you provide; doing so will help you keep your source materials organized. Please see the APA In-text Citations tutorial for more information and examples.
(Part 3) Assignment Descriiption: Submit your final paper with the addition of the counterargument and conclusion paragraph, your revised intro paragraph and developed body paragraphs, and a references page with at least three sources.
Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to complete your academic argumentative research paper.
Descriiption: In this assignment, you will transition the outline you created in Unit V into at least three body paragraphs. You will also write the paper’s counterargument and conclusion. The overall paper (not including the references page) should be around 1,300 to 1,500 words and must include at least three credible sources.
The paper should include all the following components (in order):
• Title page
• Introduction
• Body paragraphs
• Conclusion
• References page
Introductory Paragraph:
• Approximately six sentences
• The intro paragraph serves to introduce the topic and the paper’s thesis statement.
• Make the suggested revisions based on the feedback you received in Unit IN.
Body Paragraphs:
• At least three paragraphs
• Transition the outline of the body you produced in Unit V to full paragraph form to support the paper’s thesis (revisit Unit Vl lessons on transitions and cohesion).
• Each body paragraph should address one of the justifications of the thesis statement’s position.
Counterargument:
• Introduce a argue the opposes the argument made in the thesis statement and then refute it (revisit Unit Vi lessons
on introducing a counterargument).
Conclusion:
• Roughly six sentences
• Bring the paper to a close by emphasizing the importance of the issue and the controversy and answer the ‘so what?’ question.
Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, including in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. Please note that no abstract is needed.
