12 Aug Do an outline of your Problem/Solution Research Paper.
Do an outline of your Problem/Solution Research Paper. You must show your thesis statement and at least six body paragraphs. Follow this format:
Present your thesis statement in one or two complete sentences.
Using capital Roman numerals (I, II, III, etc.), give the topic sentence of each body paragraph in a complete sentence.
Using capital letters (A, B, C, etc.), give the major points you will be using for each topic sentence, using complete sentences. You must have at least two points for each topic sentence. After each major point, put the author or title of the source(s) you will be using to explain or support that point in parentheses.
Two or more of the body paragraphs must give the counter-argument. Put (counter argument) after the topic sentences for these to show this. Then, under each of the points of the counter argument, give your response in complete sentences, using small Arabic numerals (1, 2).
Please see the attachment for a sample outline. As before, I used fake sources for the topic of eliminating zoos.
