Audience and purpose.

Academic/Business Discipline

Requirements. 

• Length:  1250-1500 words (excluding Works Cited page)

• Formatting: 12 pt Times New Roman, Calibri, or other standard font; 1-inch margins; MLA parenthetical citations and Works Cited page (see WHH pp. 311-322 for a sample MLA paper and Works Cited page)

Overview:

For this paper, you will be using library catalogues and databases to help develop your own answers to a research question. You will read scholarly sources, evaluate the relevance and credibility of the texts you discover, and properly cite/document the works consulted.

Please note that I haven’t said anything about a thesis yet. That’s because while you will end up writing a paper that includes a thesis statement, support from texts, etc., you shouldn’t go into your project with the thesis in mind; that’s actually the worst way to approach this paper. The purpose of secondary source research is to start with a question, then find and evaluate sources, and then let what you find out in your research be the centerpiece of your presentation/argument as you write the paper.

Introduction:

In the introduction, you’ll need to start by bringing your reader up to speed—what is your        research topic? What is your question? Also, there should be some kind of “hook”—why should your reader be interested? Now, you finally get to include your thesis: having developed your question and done your research, what did you learn about your topic?            What do you want your reader to take away from your research? 

Body:

In the body of the paper, integrate the sources you found to help support your thesis—this is where you get to say to your reader, “This is why you should believe me—I’ve done my homework.” For information on properly integrating and citing your sources, take a look at Chapter 10 of WH—Integrating Sources and Avoiding Plagiarism and RI pages 123-132.  For information on citation, WH—Chapter 12 deals with MLA citation.

Conclusion:

In the conclusion, you obviously wrap the paper up; see section 3b of WH for suggestions for how to write a conclusion.
