\nDescription
\nArgumentative Paper
\n(This is my thesis statement: \u201dWithout the assistance of France, the people of the newly founded United States
\nof America would not have had the resources available to guarantee their emancipation from England and gain
\ntheir independence.\u201d)
\nIn 1,500 2,000 words (approx. 4 6 pages), discuss your chosen topic from your assigned paper and present your
\nargumentative thesis in regard to that topic. Remember that you must present an argument that can be argued
\nboth \u201dfor\u201d and \u201dagainst\u201d your stated position. A good approach would be to start with introducing your thesis
\nwith some background and context, followed next by presentation of your primary argument, then presenting a
\nseries of counterarguments that others could raise against your primary position, then \u201drepair\u201d any damage you
\ndid, and then end with a strong conclusion. Let me know if you have any questions about my expectations here.
\nFormat
\nThe final submission should have a cover page with title, your name, your course and section, and the date of
\nsubmission. You are required to use at least five academically reputable sources. Anonymous sources are not
\nacademically reputable. I would recommend that you obtain your sources through the college library\u2019s holdings.
\nNote that many books and journals can be viewed online through the library. To assist you with your review,
\nplease complete and submit a \u201dCRAAP\u201d worksheet for each source you decide to use. It is a lovely acronym
\nthe idea is that if your source is reputable, it won\u2019t be \u201dCRAAP\u201d. Ultimately, if the source is rated \u201dGood\u201d or
\n\u201cExcellent\u201d, you should be good to go.
\nYou will also be expected to utilize the Chicago Style of Citation to document how you used each source.
\nExamples of this citation style for notes and bibliography entries can be found at the Purdue Online Writing Lab
\nhere. Related to this, you will be required to use footnotes (as opposed to endnotes or parenthetical citations).
\nFinally, you should end with a bibliography page listing your sources in the proper format.
\nPage numbers should be located in the top right header of each page with both your last name and the page
\nnumber (e.g. Seutter 1). The margins should be no larger than 1 inch in size, the font must be Times New
\nRoman, 12 point, and the body of the paper should be double spaced. <\/p>\n
The following sources (plus one other reliable source) are what need to be referenced for the paper. If you need
\ncopies of any of the sources, please let me know and I will provide it.
