Composition

Locate five sources at (http://www.lib.ua.edu/#/home) on the topic (Should Central America be border free like the European Union?) to use for a research paper. You should write approximately 200-250 words about each source.

Use the following guidelines for your resources:

Your sources may include books (print or e-books), academic journal articles, and popular sources (such as newspaper and magazine articles or transcripts of television broadcasts), but all must be found using the libraryís link databases, catalog, or Scout.

No general web sources are allowed for this assignment.

Make sure your sources represent different points of view on your issue or topic.

You will likely need to find and evaluate more than five sources in order to find the best possible ones for your paper. Some may need to be ordered via Interlibrary Loan (ILL) or a UA library, so give yourself plenty of time for this assignment.

Create MLA-style entries for each source and put them in alphabetical order with the following under each entry:

Write a one-paragraph summary of the source. Note that you may not simply copy the articleís abstract.

Write another paragraph in which you respond to the authorís claims. Do you agree? Disagree? A little of both? Why?

Conclude with a final paragraph that states how you might use this source in your essay.

At the end of your document, write a paragraph or two in which you reflect on the sources youíve found. Incorporate answers to the following questions:

How many points of view do you have? Do you have enough, or are there more perspectives that you should include?

Which source is most factually convincing? Why?

Which source is most balanced? Why?

Which source has the greatest emotional impact? Why?

Which source is most biased, exaggerated, or oversimplified? Why?

Do you have enough information to write a convincing argument? If not, what do you still need to find?
