global warming and the blame game

Project description
write your research argument paper about (global warming and the blame game). All the arguments in support of your position/claim, as well as, the counter arguments/objections to your claim must be backed up by (evidence, examples, facts, statistics, expert opinion etc.) from your sources and cited both in-text and in the work-cited section at the end. Remember, this is an argumentative research paper, so you need to come up with a research question/s to explore your topic of interest and state a tentative thesis/claim that is debatable to focus and guide your research. You have to tap into your critical, analytical and synthesis skills to produce a well-written and logically sound research argument paper. This paper should be 5 to 6 pages in length (1200 to 1500 words), not including your works cited page, all MLA formatted using Times New Roman 12 fonts and double spaced. To help you I have included a sample argument paper format at the end of this document.
• You have to do some preliminary readings to develop background information about your topic. Encyclopedias at the reference section in Auk library are an excellent place to start.
• Develop a research question and a tentative thesis that your argument essay tries to prove. Remember, tentative means you can modify and revise it as you read and develop a clearer focus for your argument.
• You need to find minimum 4 sources to back up your claim/argument all from credible sources.
Use the Auk library online or print, multiple databases (Ebsco Academic Search Complete, JSTOR, SocINDEX, ERIC etc.) and you may also use Google Scholar to find sources on your topic. Do not use regular websites. Use credible articles to do your research.
• Ask the librarian for help if you don’t know where to start
Analyze, explain and synthesis evidence from your sources to support your arguments.
It’s important to cite all information, ideas, opinions that are not yours in MLA style both in-text and in the works-cite section; otherwise your research will be considered plagiarized.

You will be assessed on:
• Content: quality of your Claim/thesis plus support arguments, and analysis and synthesis of your sources incorporated into your research.
• The successful use of various rhetorical appeals to persuade the audience
• Fair presentation of counter arguments and quality of your refutation
• Organization: how well and logical you string together your ideas/points using transition words within and between paragraphs
• The quality and proper use of your sources
• The accuracy and thoroughness of MLA Citation (both in-text and works cited)
• MLA Formatting and Style
• Grammar and Mechanics: sentences structure, subject verb agreement, word choice, spelling, parallelism, and capitalization and punctuation
Sample Argumentative Paper Format.

??INTRODUCTION
o 1-2 paragraphs tops
o PURPOSE: To set up and state one’s claim
??Make your introductory paragraph interesting. How can you draw your readers in?
??What background information, if any, do we need to know in order to understand your claim? ??Summary of works being discussed
??Definition of key terms
o REQUIRED ELEMENTS
??If you’re arguing about an issue or theory – provide brief explanation of your issue/theory.
??State your claim/thesis at the end of your introductory paragraph

Body paragraphs:
How many paragraphs? Depends on how many support points and sub points you have to discuss

??Supporting Evidence Paragraph #1
o PURPOSE: To prove your argument. Usually is one paragraph but it can be longer.
o Topic Sentence: What is one item, fact, detail, or example you can tell your readers that will help them better understand your claim/paper topic? Your answer should be the topic sentence for this paragraph.
o Explain Topic Sentence: Do you need to explain your topic sentence? If so, do so here.
o Introduce Evidence: Introduce your evidence either in a few words (As Dr. Brown states ?…?) or in a full sentence (?To understand this issue we first need to look at statistics).
o State Evidence: What supporting evidence (reasons, examples, facts, statistics, and/or quotations) can you include to prove/support/explain your topic sentence?
o Explain Evidence: How should we read or interpret the evidence you are providing us? How does this evidence prove the point you are trying to make in this paragraph? Can be opinion based and is often at least 1-3 sentences.
o Concluding Sentence: End your paragraph with a concluding sentence that reasserts how the topic sentence of this paragraph helps up better understand and/or prove your paper’s overall claim.
??SUPPORTING EVIDENCE PARAGRAPH #2, 3, 4 etc.
o Repeat this process for each of your support points

??Counterarguments and Response
o PURPOSE: To anticipate your reader’s objections; make yourself sound more objective and reasonable.
o Usually 2-3 paragraphs
o What possible argument might your reader pose against your argument and/or some aspect of your reasoning? Insert one or more of those arguments here and refute them.
o End paragraph with a concluding sentence that reasserts your paper’s claim as a whole.

??CONCLUSION PART 1: SUM UP PARAGRAPH
o PURPOSE: Remind readers of your argument and supporting evidence
o Restates your paper’s overall claim and supporting evidence

??CONCLUSION PART 2: YOUR “SO WHAT” PARAGRAPH
o PURPOSE: To illustrate that you have thought critically and analytically about this issue.

o Your conclusion should not simply restate your intro paragraph. If your conclusion says almost the exact same thing as your introduction, it may indicate that you have not done enough critical thinking during the course of your essay (since you ended up right where you started).

o Your conclusion should tell us why we should care about your paper. What is the significance of your claim? Why is it important to you as the writer or to me as the reader? What information should you or I take away from this?

o Your conclusion should create a sense of movement to a more complex understanding of the subject of your paper. By the end of your essay, you should have worked through your ideas enough so that your reader understands what you have argued and is ready to hear the larger point (i.e. the “so what”) you want to make about your topic.

o Your conclusion should serve as the climax of your paper. So, save your strongest analytical points for the end of your essay, and use them to drive your conclusion

o Vivid, concrete language is as important in a conclusion as it is elsewhere–perhaps more essential, since the conclusion determines the reader’s final impression of your essay. Do not leave them with the impression that your argument was vague or unsure.
