Using the same
topic selected in Unit 1, conduct research and write a plan/outline for the
research paper that you will write a rough draft of in Unit 3. The purpose of
your research in this unit is to locate credible sources related to the topic
in order to become more informed of arguments and evidence about your topic.
Then select appropriate evidence (facts, statistics, quotations, and arguments)
from the sources to support your thesis and main points in the rough draft that
you will write in Unit 3.
To begin the process, use the AIU library databases and
online search tools to conduct research and locate five (5) sources related to
your issue and thesis statement. Evaluate these sources for timeliness,
relevancy, and credibility/authority. Encyclopedia reference books (online or
print) or dictionaries can be consulted but should not be used as sources.
The research project plan to be submitted at the end of this
week (Unit 2) must contain the following parts:
Thesis statement
(argument claim)
Outline of
supporting points
Annotated
bibliography including five reference citations in APA documentation format,
each followed by a brief summary: In your own words, write a two–three sentence
summary of each source’s main point and how it will help support specific
points in your outline.
