Gun Control&Gun Violence/blacks matter Description *The Argumentative Research Paper * The purpose of this assignment is for you to practice supporting a claim (your thesis) with outside sources. The research paper will likely be the most common writing assignment you encounter as a student, so it is important to develop the research and writing skills necessary to produce a strong, though ul research paper. For this assignment you will be writing an argumentative research paper. A research paper is simply an essay with supporting evidence from outside sources. The research topic will be yours to choose from the list of subjects below. You must find credible and current sources (at least 4) to support your claim. You may use a combination of articles, books, and trustworthy websites. CQ Researcher is a great place to begin the research process.

The introduction on will present the subject and will include your thesis statement (the claim you intend to support). 2.

The body will also summarize and respond to opposing views (the rebuttal). You may choose to summarize and refute opposing views before or after you have made your own case. Try to end your essay with your strongest arguments. 3. The conclusion will restate your thesis. 4. The works cited page will list the sources you use in the essay.
