Intro and Outline Draft

Q For this task, you are to post a draft introduction (1 paragraph) and outline of your essay. Next you are to review two drafts of the person who posted before you and the one who posted after you. Post a draft of your introductory paragraph and an outline of your academic argument essay as you see it at this point. For the introduction, be sure to include the important components as much as possible at this point: • introduce your topic and state your research question clearly • give a sense of why this is important • give a sense of what you have discovered • offer a working thesis claim which should serve as the ANSWER to your question Remember, a thesis is argumentative and requires evidence. Your reader should say, "Huh, interesting, prove it to me!" Peer Reviewers: Turn the criteria above into questions and respond to the introduction draft and outline. Please use the numbering convention below for your responses. 1. Does the paragraph introduce the topic and offer a clear and grammatical statement of the research question? Comment on this -- yes/no. What else can be done to improve this? 2. Does the paragraph give a sense of why this is important or why we should care? Comment. 3. Does the paragraph give a sense of what the author has discovered in their research. Maybe they haven't found an answer yet. Comment. 4. Is there a direct and specific thesis that answers the research question? It should be provocative and arguable and NOT a question in itself. It should fall at the end of that opening paragraph. Comment. 5. Does the outline demonstrate support and development of the ideas in the introduction and especially the thesis? Draft introduction and outline: 10 points Peer review: 10 points
