Putting It All Together and Analyzing the Results

For your final version of the argumentative/persuasive research paper, you will need to use parts of each of the assignments that we have completed so far: the revised prospectus should allow you an overview of your first two assignments. Since it contains both, you may see the evolution of your ideas, and the direction which your research moved as you discovered more information about the topic. The prospectus included your research proposal, which will remind you of your single thesis statement and offer an outline you can use. It also contained your annotated bibliography, which will become your references page once you remove the annotations and materials you have not used in the final draft. The APA citation practice will help you correctly cite your sources and avoid plagiarism, the rough draft will keep your writing to a single authorial voice, and your second draft provides attribution, in the form of correctly formatted citation of the sources you have garnered to support your argument.
