Writing your research papers

You will have five paragraphs total: Intro 3 bodies Your first two body paragraphs should be regular CEIEIs, and your last should be a counter-argument The format C-claim E-evidence (the quotes you found for your annotated bib) I-interpretation (2 -3 sentences) E I Conclusion

Thesis Your thesis statement should be word-for-word the exact same thesis statement I approved earlier on. If you do not have a thesis that follows the proper format, MAJOR points will be deducted

Claims You should have three claims total. These will be the first sentences in all three of your body paragraphs If your thesis statement talks about water pollution in the ocean, your claims need to address why we should do something about the pollution For example: Although some might believe that there are far more important environmental issues than water pollution, many species are being attacked and may even become endangered from water pollution every day. (thesis) Many species are being attacked by water pollution. (claim) Some of these same species that are being attacked may also become endangered if water pollution is not stopped. Some might argue that water pollution is not the most detrimental environmental issue facing the world today.

Some lead-ins you can use: The author of, "Water Pollution Today" states, Author, Sam Smith, claims, Lead-ins In the article, "Water Pollution Today, the author proves, Sam Smith, an author from CNN argues, Notice how all my verbs (states, claims, proves, argues) are all in the present tense

Evidence Your evidence are direct quotes that you have already found! Be sure to cite your evidence using the author's LAST name and year of publication For example, "kjdfhdskjfasfjkafnjdhfjkdsfklsafsaflkdjfkladjf" (Montgomery, 2019).

Your interpretation is NOT!!!!! What you wrote underneath your quotes in your annotated bibliography. Interpretation Your interpretation should explain why and how that particular quote proves your claim correct. How does it back it up? Needs to be 2 -3 sentences

The author is saying that, This proves that, What this quote is saying is, Terms to avoid I used this quote because Thing ANY personal pronouns We, us, our, my, we, I, you

Common knowledge If something is not common knowledge, you need to cite it!

Introduce your topic Intro paragraph Create context and background Explain why your topic/issue is important State your thesis This has already been done. Make sure your thesis in your paper is the same as the one in your packet.

Conclusion paragraph Summarize what you have discussed in your paper. Refrain from mentioning any new topics. Your last 1 -2 sentences should include a call to action. What does society/America/teens/whoever need to do about this issue?
