Topic: You will further develop your Argument Essay 1 into a research paper by adding support from additional secondary sources, and by revising and
editing errors. Just to be clear, you will literally take your Argument Essay 1 and add support and research to create your Research Essay 1. Therefore, all the
rules about title, formatting, style, etc. that apply to Argument Essay 1 also apply to Research Essay 1.
Word Count: 1, 000 – 1,500 words.
Some notes about the sources: Remember that the purpose of these sources is not merely informative; the research should support your thesis. In addition
to the two required sources from PCI, and the one required source from the LSC-Tomball Library database, you should have at least 2 additional non-PCI
secondary sources. That is a minimum of 5 sources. All sources included should be reputable academic sources from either the LSC-Tomball Library
database or Google Scholar. Each source must be used at least once throughout the text.
Use at least one paraphrase, one block quote, and three “regular quotes.”
