You may write an argumentative research paper on a topic (issue) of your choice. I’d also like you to run your possible topic by me. Pick a topic that means something to you and which you’re interested in! Please make sure to include at least FOUR outside sources as support for your argument. However, you MAY NOT write on: gun control, abortion, capital punishment, global warming, performance enhancing drugs, legalization of drugs, or teen pregnancy.
Make sure that your essay is in proper MLA format and that you’ve cited everything properly.
The essay should be at least 6 pages in length (not including your works cited page).
Be creative on the essay title
Please write using what might be called “plain” style. That is, keep your language as clear and direct as possible. You should also try to keep your paragraphs to about 4-8 sentences in length (not a rule, but just a suggestion).
The essay should be double spaced name, the instructor’s name, the class, and date in the upper left hand corner of the first page. The title of the essay should be centered at the top of the first page. Do not include a separate title page.
Leave a margin of 1-inch on all sides (including the top and bottom) and use 12-Point Times New Roman as your font.
