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.

Here is the English assignment as we discussed. Thank. you.

  • 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:
  1. Thesis statement (argument claim)
  2. Outline of supporting points
  3. 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.
APA Format Please
