Question Description: Instructions
This assignment is a full draft of your Argument Research PaperPreview the document. This draft will demonstrate the argument and writing techniques studied in the course and will build upon the steps you have taken in all the previous weeks toward developing your Argument Research Paper. This draft is expected to meet all of the Argument Research Essay requirements for writing, content, length, and sources.

Writing Requirements for the Argument Research Essay First Draft, Due in Week 5, and for the Argument Essay Final Draft, Due in Week 7

Correct use of APA guidelines for the following:
Headers with pagination
Title Page
Margins, spacing, and paragraph indentation
APA in-text citation and referencing for all sources
Do not divide your essay into sections.
Do not use headings within your paper to indicate changes in topic. While longer APA essays and particular types of APA writing, such as scholarly articles, employ APA-style bolded headings to divide portions of the writing, you are writing a shorter academic essay. Your shift from one paragraph to the next should be signaled through your use of the effective transition and topic sentence rules we have practiced.
6-8 full pages for the essay itself, not including title page or references
Effective structure, including your introduction paragraph, your body paragraphs, and your conclusion paragraph
Use of third-person throughout. Focus on the topic, not on you nor on the essay. In other words: no first-person “I,” and no referring to the essay, such as “In this essay.”
At least 5 scholarly sources visibly used, cited, and referenced
Refer to the full Argument Research Essay Rubric
Your instructor will grade and offer feedback on this draft to help set you up toward additional success with your final draft in Week 7. In Week 6, you will post your draft to your peer review group area in discussion to also receive their feedback.

Grading: This activity will be graded using the Argument Research Essay Rubric.

Body paragraphs forward the thesis argument well but could be more effective in one of the following: use of multiple argument techniques, rich development of supporting and opposing arguments, and the writer’s voice as the driving force. Or, the writer may sometimes use first-person or second-person or may refer to the paper itself.
9.0 pts
Body paragraphs forward the thesis argument but could be more effective in some of the following: use of multiple argument techniques, rich development of supporting and opposing arguments, and the writer’s voice as the driving force.The writer may use first-person or second-person or may refer to the paper itself.

8.0 pts
Each time a source is used within the essay, it is well-previewed in the student’s voice and is smoothly integrated with a signal phrase or with correct integration into a student’s sentence. Each time a source is used, it is highly relevant to the point at hand and is effective in the context of the argument. The student has chosen to paraphrase or quote according to best practices. Sources comprise a small portion of each paragraph and are never used in the topic sentence or final sentence of a paragraph. Sources are cited directly after use, never at the end of the paragraph.
6.8 pts
Almost every time a source is used within the essay, it is well-previewed in the student’s voice and is smoothly integrated with a signal phrase or with correct integration into a student’s sentence. The source may not be clearly relevant to the point at hand or in the context of the argument. The student may need to make better choices between paraphrasing or quoting according to best practices. Sources may be over-used in some paragraphs or may be used in the topic sentence or final sentence of a paragraph. Sources may be cited at the end of a paragraph vs. directly after their use.
6.0 pts
Source application and integration may fall short and may require work to meet some of the following standards: sources well-previewed in the student’s voice, smoothly-integrated with a signal phrase or with correct integration into a student’s sentence, clearly relevant to the point at hand or in the context of the argument, well-informed in choice of paraphrase or quotation, minimally used to maintain writer’s voice, and effectively placed sources and citations.

The writer avoids using first-person and second-person and does not refer to the essay itself.
6.8 pts
The conclusion is succinct and powerful, but may include a small amount of verbatim repetition of material from the introduction or from the paper.

The conclusion is ineffective in some of the following areas: power and conciseness, unique wording, smooth flow, a thought-provoking ending, third-person point of view.
4.8 pts
The conclusion is missing multiple required elements or is highly ineffective due to wordiness, repetition, length (too short or too long), choppiness, a lack of impact, and/or the use of first-person or referring to the essay itself.
