Question: Main Question/Main Claim/Thesis Statement
- You are not required to give your "thesis statement" before actually writing the paper, however, I do need to see that you have a main question, or a main set of questions, and/or a main claim that you plan to argue for.
- What is the central issue? What is the paper about? What do you expect to find, or hope to find?
Resources: What sources will you use? How will you find material to strengthen your argument?
- Provide the full bibliographic information for at least 3 readings, articles, books, etc. in addition to those assigned for the class.
- Road Map
- How will you proceed? What kind of approach will you use?
