You need at least 600 words (about three double-spaced pages) for now. For now, you need a thesis statement that you will be using in your researched argumentative essay, and at least four paragraphs. You should use at least two sources from your annotated bibliography and one new source in the course of developing your argument. —————————————————–The format should look like this:
