After reviewing Section 5 of the textbook, you will write a research project paper. You may choose your own topic related to one of your interests or your future career. You may not use one of the banned topics. (See Resources section of Lessons - Content in PLATO as a reminder.) You will need to begin with a narrative hook to get the reader’s interest and thesis statement in the introductory paragraph, include as many body paragraphs as necessary (at least six) to make your points, being sure to cite and explain your evidence, and end with a concluding paragraph “that effectively summarizes the main argument and reinforces your thesis” (Weaver, et al). You must use multiple sources for this paper and your sources need to be cited internally and externally (Works Cited page).
