Guidelines for a successful research paper
Be at least 1500 words, or (5) full pages in length, MLA style, NOT including the annotated works cited pages.
Use at least four intext citations of outside sources.
Attach annotated works cited pages that list the sources you used in the text of your research paper.
Use credible sources.
Clearly introduce the topic and the issue surrounding that topic. Assume that your reader knows nothing about the issue. This means you must provide background information and context to orient your reader. If you are introducing unfamiliar terms or concepts, you must define them.
State your claim (thesis statement) explicitly (“I Say”). Include subpoints in your thesis statement for stronger direction.
Present the opposing viewpoint, or counterargument (“They Say”). Make sure you provide appropriate context.
In each of your body paragraphs, logically develop, analyze, explain an aspect of your argument.
Start the body paragraphs with YOUR OPINION. Do not start a body paragraph with a quotation or with a reference to an outside source.
Use direct quotes from your sources that are properly contextualized and integrated.
In your conclusion, restate your argument and leave your reader reflecting on the importance of your argument (metacognitive reflection).
Make sure you’ve got “dem bones”!
Be error free in grammar and mechanics.
