SummaryYou will write a research paper stemming from your argumentative and synthesis papers.PurposeYou will engage in the thinking-writing process while practicing the components of research and professional writing.Requirement(s)You must submit a 5-7 page paper (not counting any title or the reference pages). Your paper should use 12 point font (Times New Roman, Calibri or Arial), and be double-spaced. You cannot use any AI generated text. Do not use language translation software to translate text beyond the phrase level. Detection software will flag it and you will lose points. You must compose the clauses in English yourself. You can, however, apply grammar and style checkers afterwards to correct and revise your text. You must use at least 6 scholarly sources. If your paper does not have any sources, in-text citations, or a bibliography, you will not receive any credit for the assignment. If the paper is written by someone other than you (you can receive revision advice and grammar checking from others, but the language of the paper should be either yours or properly cited source referenced language), you will not receive any credit. DIRECTIONSStep 1: Open a new document. Add your name, class information, and title in proper MLA format. Step 2: Create headings for the parts of your paper: (Section 1: Introduction & Relevant Background Literature; Section 2: Method, Evidence, & Findings; Section 3 Discussion & Conclusion). Also make sure to have a page for your bibliography. Step 3: Use your previous essays to choose a beginning thesis statement (the best thesis you have created so far). Find more sources to expand what you know about the topic in relation to your thesis. Then begin filling in/writing the Evidence and Findings Section. Also mention any evidence or findings in this section that may seem to contradict your thesis (maybe you think of something or find something new). Refrain from making judgements about the evidence here. You are doing your best to organize and describe the facts. The “why” part of the analysis is more fitting for the discussion section. Step 4: Begin writing the Discussion Section. Reference the “evidence,” and explain how it supports your thesis. In other words, make an argument as to what the evidence means. This is also your chance to explain away potential contradictions found in the evidence. Step 5: Write a conclusion following your discussion (it is okay if you could not account for all the “data”). Now write the introduction (summarize and synthesis the sources used as modelled in the citation grouping activity). Update your thesis (or hypothesis) if necessary.Step 6: Check your introduction: does it summarize/synthesis relevant background information; is a problem established; does the paper’s thesis address this problem? — If you did all three, you are a researcher :-)The paper should be double-spaced, approximately 5- 7 pages long, and in a common, 12 point font. It should be in MLA format. You must use at least 6 sources. If you cite yourself, here is an example. Self Citation Example:MLA Example: Hugginkiss, Amanda.
