You already did the publish for the researched argument last time. Now you need to add 1000 more words to this and beef it up and make it more specific. Also make sure each paragraph goes to the next.
After you have completed your research and all preliminary assignments, you will write a 2000-word researched argument essay that persuasively presents a thesis that makes a claim about an issue related to your topic. Use the three appeals of argument (logos, pathos, ethos) within the paper, and support your ideas with evidence drawn from at least eight authoritative and credible sources, including at least three peer-reviewed journal articles, as well as scholarly books, government documents, specialized magazine articles, and/or interviews with experts. Make your position stronger by bringing up opposing ideas and either refuting them or minimizing their importance. Provide in-text citations within the essay to cite all paraphrases, quotations, and summaries, using either MLA or APA. Provide a list of all sources that you cite within the essay, using Works Cited as the heading for MLA and References for APA. You may use additional or different sources than you included in your annotated bibliography, and you do not need to annotate them. Your list of sources should include only those sources you cite in the essay, and it should not include annotations.
