Research paper

Some friendly reminders:

The final draft is still due on Friday, May 10

Check the following details

1. You need three quotes. These quotes should make sense in the flow of the paragraph and should help your argument. Do not use a quote to start a paragraph or to end a paragraph. Quotations need commentary, do not just drop one and run.

2. Use parenthetical citation. In parentheses ( ) put what comes first on the bibliography. Generally this is authors last name, but with the websites we used, this may be a title of an article or website name.

3. Please underline your thesis statement in the intro.

4. Do not use talking sentences like I will be talking about... or In this paragraph I will talk about... As a rule, do not use I or my.
You are making statements.
