Purpose:

The purpose of Draft 1 is to build upon the Annotated Bibliography and to move forward in drafting your final Research Paper.

Description:

In this assignment, you will build upon the summaries that you did for the Annotated Bibliography for Unit III. Unlike the Annotated Bibliography, however, the Draft 1 of your Research Paper is more than just a summary of sources. Instead, it is a conversation between sources wherein the student author places his or her sources into a conversation about topics surrounding the issue. You will need to review at least five academic sources for this assignment. You are not restricted to the sources used in the Annotated Bibliography, but that would be a good place to start.

The length of the draft should be between 3-5 pages, not including the cover page or references page.

EH 1020, English Composition II 8

Elements:

Your Draft 1 grade is largely based on your inclusion of several elements and the overall quality of your writing. For assistance, you might want to refer to the examples in Chapter 20, Section 20g, of Strategies for Writing Successful Research Papers (pp. 438-444). Your Draft 1 must contain the following elements.

NOTE: the following resources will provide you with guidance and examples that will help you as you write your review of literature (underlined words link to .pdf documents):

• Click here for a webinar on paraphrasing and summarizing.

1. Cover page and APA formatting:

You should include an APA-style cover page for your Draft 1. See the example on page 16 of The CSU APA Guide (6th edition). Your cover page should include the following: the title of your paper, your name, and the name of your university (Columbia Southern University). The running head should include up to 50 characters from the title of the paper, along with a sequential page number in the upper right-hand corner.

2. Review of literature:

Below are techniques for writing a review of literature.

• Consider the topics that your sources cover. Then make a list of those topics. Cluster the topics together, and decide which sources speak to the same concerns.

• Decide which sources speak to the same issues, and decide which material from those sources that you will include.

• When sources discuss the same topic but do not agree, you should still include them in the same paragraph if you would like. There is nothing that says that two sources that disagree cannot be presented in the same paragraph.

• Remember to transition between ideas, sources, and paragraphs. Check out the list of transitional expressions on pp. 44-45 of The Little, Brown Compact Handbook with Exercises.

• Remember to include concise summaries of the material.

Avoid the following in a review of literature.

• Do not comment on the sources. Your job here is to present the material only, not to give your take on what is has to say.

• Do not include your argument. You do not want to argue in the review of literature because you are reviewing the literature, not asserting your argument. You will be able to argue for your position later in the paper.

• Do not just insert the summary paragraphs from your Annotated Bibliography. The review of literature is far more than just a list of paragraphs summarizing sources.

• Do not forget to cite your sources in text and to include a references page.

3. References:

Include a references list as the last page of the paper. See the example on pages 6, 7, and 21 of The CSU APA Guide (6th edition). All entries are those that have been cited in the text. No others are to be included. No textbooks should be included on the references list.

Part 2: Assignment

Formal Sentence Outline

Follow the directions below for the completion of the Formal Sentence Outline assignment for Unit V. If you have questions, please email your professor for assistance. As always, you may also seek out the guidance of the Success Center; the tutors are always there to assist you with your writing and comprehension. You may submit writing assignments to the Success Center by using a "Writing Center Request form" located on the myCSU Student Portal. To submit a "Writing EH 1020, English Composition II 9 Center Request form," log into the myCSU Student Portal, click on "Success Center," and then click on "Tutoring." If you have questions concerning APA or your writing assignment, you can contact the Success Center at [email protected] or by phone at ext. 6538.

Purpose:

The purpose of the Formal Sentence Outline is to help you organize, design, and outline your final Research Paper for this course. Now that you have researched your topic and composed a review of literature that demonstrates your understanding of the conversation surrounding your topic, you are ready to begin fleshing out your paper-one section at a time. In the last three units of the course, you will write the remaining sections of your paper (introduction, body, conclusion, and abstract), and this outline will guide you through that process.

Description:

In this 300-500-word, Formal Sentence Outline, you will organize and outline the project that you intend to write about for your final Research Paper. If your Formal Sentence Outline is less than the word count, it is likely you have not fully developed your outline or adhered to the assignment appropriately, and this lack of development can severely impact your grade for this assignment. Your outline will include the elements listed below.

Your Formal Sentence Outline should also include a list of references in APA style and should adhere to APA convention throughout for in-text citation and style.

Elements:

Your grade is largely based on your inclusion of the following elements, as well as your development of the project. For a model, you might want to refer back to pp. 465-467 of Strategies for Writing Successful Research Papers. Your outline must contain the following elements.

1. Cover page and APA formatting:

You should include an APA-style cover page for your Formal Sentence Outline. See the example on page 16 of The CSU APA Guide (6th edition).

Your cover page should include the following: the title, your name, and the name of your university (Columbia Southern University). The running head should include up to 50 characters from the title of the paper, along with a sequential page number in the upper right-hand corner.

The entire outline should be double-spaced throughout, without additional spaces between sections.

2. Thesis:

The thesis statement should be provided at the beginning of the outline, and it should be labeled "Thesis," followed by a colon. The thesis statement should be an argumentative statement that embodies the argument of your paper. Please see the directions for double-checking the argumentativeness of your thesis statement in the lecture.

When writing your outline, make certain that every topic and subtopic is written as a complete sentence. Additionally, it is required to include in-text citations within your outline. For instance, one of your subtopics may be a direct quote; therefore, you would place an in-text citation at the closing of the sentence just as you would do if it were written in essay form. For example:

I. Hybrid vehicles are far inferior to our country's available technology.

A. Electric cars are more energy efficient and do not have tailpipe pollutants.

1.Nissan CEO, Carlos Ghosn (2008), states, "I want a pure electric car. I don't want a range extender that still uses oil. That is unsustainable" (para. 2). Furthermore, any in-text citation will also have a correlating reference entry listed on the reference page. For the purpose of this outline, you will only reference the sources, which have in-text citations to match (in the outline). In later drafts, you will include every source that you used in your essay on your reference page. However, the outline only requires that you reference sources that were used solely in the outline.

3. Headings and subheadings:

You must include at least four headings in your outline, indicated by Roman numerals (I, II, III, IV). Each of these headings must have at least two subheadings, indicated by capital letters (A, B, C). The best outlines will break down these subheadings into topics, indicated with numerals (1, 2, 3). A framework for an outline might look like the following.

Thesis: Hydrogen cars might be the future's best hope for an environment-friendly family vehicle, but the unstable nature of the hydrogen that powers them is not worth the risk of personal injury.

I. There have been a number of alternative cars designed in the last decade, but none that are as efficient as the hydrogen models. (Heading)

A. Efficiency for alternative car models means production costs do not exceed the financial strain of consumers. (Subheading)

1. Hybrid cars are not as efficient as electric cars. (Topic)

2. Electric cars place undue energy demands on society. (Topic)

B. Subheading 1.2

2. Topic
II. Heading II
A. Subheading 2.1
