English 2 - Argumentative Research 4/25

*Now that you have chosen your topic (and it has been approved), you will begin to gather your sources (reliable websites - not wikipedia, ask.com, askyahoo or about.com) to use to support your argument. Before you can begin your writing, you must read up on your topic. 

*Today you need to gather 3 sources. Using easybib.com you will create a page (sources copied into a word document) with the proper formatting (follow the directions under the tab "bibliography" on easybib.) for what will be your works cited page (also known as a bibliography). Every source you use (no matter if it is 3 or 19) needs it's own entry.

The information you find on your websites must be copied and pasted into a word document. DO NOT PRINT THE WEBSITES!

Your next step is to create a THESIS STATEMENT which will be ONE SENTENCE that explains to the reader what they will be reading about. THIS NEEDS TO BE IN AN ARGUMENTATIVE FORMAT...What is it you're trying to "prove?" Use the Persuasive Thesis Builder to help you write your thesis. 

At the end of class today, you must print out your three sources in the proper format and your thesis. Please save ALL of your word documents!
