State a clear and concise thesis/hypothesis/pose critical

how the reader what you have learned about your topicState a clear and concise thesis/hypothesis/pose critical questionsBe 6-7 pages (The references/works cited do NOT count towards the page length), double-spaced with no additional spacing, 12 pt. font, consistent font style throughout, 1 inch margins. If you include subheadings or tables/figures, there should not be additional spacing before or after they appearInclude an introduction that should follow the guidelines on page 509, chapter 17 in the Call to Write book.The most important thing to include in the introduction is the THESIS! I should not have to guess what your thesis is; it should be explicitly clear to the reader what you will be researching/attempting to prove in this paper. The introduction should be 1-2 paragraphs at most (typically the first page).Show what sources you used as research in a literature review/methodology section of the paper that should appear after the introduction. You should include 2-4 reliable and credible sources for this assignment. Make sure that they pass the CRAAP test.Think about grouping the sources thematically so that the transitions are more seamless when discussing multiple sources in one section. Make sure in this section that you are showing how the sources connect to each other, how they connect to your thesis/methodology, and in some cases, where they fall short.Are the sources biased towards an agenda? Do they only show one side of the topic? Is their information out of date? It is very important to show the full scope of your topic. That means showing both sides of the argument.The objective is to remain unbiased when discussing the sources and the topic. While it is completely allowable that you share a personal account or narrative, a researcher must still remain unbiased.Show the results of any research you have conducted and discuss the findings of your research before you conclude your paper.If you include and tables/figures, either your own or from one of your sources, make sure that you introduce them before they appear in the paper. After they are shown they should be discussed to show the reader what they represent and how it connects to your research/thesis.Make sure to include ALL the findings, even if they do not concur with the original hypothesis; the same goes with the sources. The main objective is to show the entire research process and results, not just the ones that prove your research to be true, or agree with your standpoint.When discussing the sources, make sure to include in this section not just a summary but what the findings and information means and how it connects to your thesis. The sources should be thought of as a whole in this section, with only one or two used as a specific example if necessary.The last section should be the conclusion. Look at the guidelines on page 510-511, chapter 17 for information on what to include in this section.Start the conclusion with a definitive statement, or a reaffirmation of the thesis to remind the reader what the purpose of the paper is and what you, as the writer, were hoping to accomplish. If the reaffirmation of the thesis is not the first sentence of the conclusion (and it doesn’t need to be!) it should appear at the beginning of the concluding paragraph.Wrapping up the topic and not leaving the paper open-ended is crucial here. You don’t want to leave the reader without a sense of closure. However, it is completely acceptable (and sometimes very important) to offer a directive for the reader. This means showing the reader where you think the research topic is headed and how you can see things happening in the future. (Did your research lead to this? Say so!)Have a discussion of the implications of your findings. Offer a judgment about your subject, and the worth it holds.The final sentence-don’t let it trip you up! It just needs to bring your paper to a close; it does not define your entire paper/research. The research conducted and the rest of the paper is what is the most important. Your final sentence might be a directive (see above), where you show how your research contributes to the future of the subject. It simply needs to make a general statement about your topic and not offer any new information so the reader has a sense of closure.References/Works Cited/Bibliography:The references section needs to start over on a new page and should appear at the very end of the paper. The page should have the title of “References” “Works Cited” or “Bibliography” at the top of the page, not italicized, bolded, or underlined. The references should appear in alphabetical order, not numbered, unless you are following a scientific citation guide. The references should be double-spaced with no additional spacing.
