In this DB, you’ll post your research proposal for the Research Paper (thoroughly read the instructions for the BEFORE starting this DB). It should be a one-paragraph proposal of what you intend to argue in your research paper, and it should contain the following:
- Announce the topic (as narrow as possible)Provide your research question (the answer to your research question ends up being your thesis)
- State your tentative thesis
- Provide any necessary context
- State how you plan to go about making your argument (how you plan to structure your paper)
- What information you already know about your argument
- What types of sources/information you think you will need to properly support this argument (be specific–do not just say “library databases”)
This will probably be a 7-8 sentence paragraph. First person is appropriate for this, but you must use proper grammar, spelling, mechanics, punctuation, and capitalization. Do not use second person.
Then, post a response to at least one peer (someone who has not yet received a response) with a suggestion regarding how they should proceed researching their topic. Are they on the right track with their research plans? Offer at least one suggestion on how your classmate could find an appropriate source (don’t just say to check Academic Search Complete–give specifics on what kind of sources to look for: science journals, medical journals, government documents, literary journals, etc.). If you are researching a similar topic (or have researched a similar topic before), feel free to provide a source that they might be able to use.
I attached a essay I have wrote already maybe you can edit it to make it reach the guidelines
