Research Essay Topic Approval

For your researched argumentative essay, you must submit the Q @ I you have decided to explore along with your purpose (what you hope the essay will argue). In order to communicate your topic idea, you need to have completed some preliminary research to accomplish the following:

1.       Your topic idea is of interest to you in the context of your life and that of your peers (relevance/importance).

2.       You are able to find enough scholarly and credible literature that discusses your topic from multiple perspectives (breadth, depth, accuracy). Include a bibliogrpahy of the sources you plan to use.

3.       You have narrowed your topic appropriately (sufficiency, relevance/importance, clearness, precision, accuracy).

4.       You have a potential list of sources to use.

You must word process this assignment and communicate all of the above in detail. (You must meet all of the standards of critical thinking.) You need not write in paragraph form; bulleted lists that cover the information required will be fine. However, sentence fragments are unacceptable.
