Q ENGU 103: Assignment #2 Research Paper Topic Proposal [The first page explains the assignment. The second page is ready for you to use.] Date: To: [instructor’s name] From: [student’s name] Subject of my paper: [The subject is the broad topic, for example Modified Wheat or GMOs]. Why I want to write about this topic: If you are not vested in your topic (and that can mean you loved something or something really bothered you about it), chances are your incentive to write about the subject will be weak. If you are interested in the topic you will probably write a better essay. My working thesis statement: Review the “Thesis” video in the Week One Videos folder if you need a review. The thesis is generally a sentence or two positioned at the end of the introduction that states the main point/s in your paper. For the purposes of this paper, it should be an argument. The thesis is never a question. The thesis may change as you conduct your research, and that’s all right—but writing it out before beginning will help you focus your search. List, in correct APA or MLA format, two of your scholarly sources for this assignment. [You will require more scholarly sources for this assignment, but for now, two will do. Use the library and your handbook for this part of the proposal]. Explanation of sources: What is each writer’s thesis? What evidence is provided to support the thesis? Explain how the evidence is strong or weak, and why. Online Writing tutors can help—use the Writing Help link in class and scroll down to set up an appointment.
