During this week you will
upload the first draft of your 5-7 page research paper.
Here is a guideline for drafting your research paper. Many people follow this guideline; however, you can do it in the order that makes most sense to you.
First, review your outline and gather the following information:
Topic
Research Question
Stakes
Thesis
Roadmap
Develop these pieces into your introduction paragraph.
Second, draft a complete paragraph, including your research, for each of the main supporting points from your outline. Use in-text citations for all borrowed material.
Third, draft a complete paragraph, including your research, which details the main counterarguments. Use in-text citations for all borrowed material.
Fourth, add the conclusion paragraph. Make sure you use in-text citations for all borrowed material.
Fifth, read through the entire paper and fix any obvious errors.
Sixth, check your References page for APA formatting.
