Next week, the rough draft of your research paper is due! It doesn't have to be perfect, but I'd like to see a genuine effort at each of the five paragraphs of the essay.
Please follow the following general outline (but use complete sentences and essay paragraph format)
- Introduction
- Attention Grabber: Gets the audience interested; choose one of the following:
- Ask a question
- State a shocking fact
- Quote an interesting quotation
- Make a joke
- Feel free to try something not on the list, as long as it's attention grabbing!
- Thesis: Opinion because reason1, reason2, and reason3.
- Paragraph about Reason1
- Evidence from your notecards
- Possible Evidence types:
- Logos: Facts, Statistics, Reasonings
- Pathos: Emotional stories, personal accounts
- Ethos: Expert opinions by doctors, teachers, professors, scientists, etc
- Paragraph about Reason2

Make sure it's all on Google Drive in the Rough Drafts folder. We will be doing peer review, so make sure you like your work enough to share it :)
