WR121: More notes on the proposals (see earlier post also)

Things to consider while writing the Proposal (and please follow the format from the earlier post):

• Topic = Question
• Thesis = Answer (briefly touch on why)

• Reasoning in support needs to be specific pieces of information that come from your three sources. Need five pieces of support needed.
• The counterarguments need to reference the specific organization that espouses that belief. Need three counterarguments and three reasons why they are wrong.
• The sources need to have academic integrity (from legitimate organizations, peer reviewed, etc)
• The final paragraph is basically the introduction for your paper (it should change over the course of the research)

Things to consider when reading articles and taking notes

1. What specific information answers the research question?
2. Does the article change your understanding of the topic? How?
3. What does other side have to say? Who said it? Why is it wrong?
