Prof C Brown

Due Date: HARD DEADLINE--May 13, Thursday by 11:59 pm in this dropbox

Purpose: To write a 5-7 page research paper using MLA documentation style and formatting arguing a side of an issue of your choosing. Please use your proposal and your annotated bibliography to help you with this paper. In this paper, you should have:

Topic: "How have the goals of feminists changed over the decades in 2000's?"

• MLA formatting that has a heading on the top left of the first page only, double spacing only for everything, a centered title, indented paragraphs, 1-inch margins (this is the default so leave this alone), and a times new roman or the like font.
• Your title should be interesting, relevant, and hint at the thesis.
• The first paragraph should have a hook, a good general discussion, and a thesis with a direction statement. The direction statement should list the evidence that you will use to support your argument.
• Your body paragraphs should prove your thesis valid. Make sure that you consider the other viewpoint(s) on your issue and that you concede (give in to) any good points they make or refute (state why they're not good) the bad points.
• Your body paragraphs should have a good format with a topic sentence, the evidence used explanation of the evidence used and thought back to how it fits into the argument. Please make sure you are transitioning between thoughts.
• You are required to use 3 sources in your paper. Therefore, you will need to cite wherever you use the sources, whether you are quoting, paraphrasing, or summarizing. Make sure that you aren't overquoting and that your paraphrases change the entire sentence. A citation should contain the author's last name or company name (unless you've already stated it to integrate your quotes) and a page number for printed material. The citation goes inside the period.
• Your conclusion should recap your main argument and give thoughts on the future of your issue. You may include a call to action if that's applicable. A call to action is just that--you're asking your audience to do something to help the cause.
• The last page of your paper should be the Works Cited page with good MLA format. Center the title Works Cited, only double space, make sure the entries are in MLA format and are in alphabetical order. This page is required to have at least 3 sources as entries. This page does NOT count in the overall page count of your paper.

Audience/Tone: This should be the highest polish that you've done for a paper as it's the final chance for feedback. Consider your audience to be your colleagues and moderately well-informed. You're the expert. Maintain a scholarly tone and elevate your language as much as possible. All Standard English rules apply.
