Overview

In this assignment, you will build on what you have learned in the first modules of this course and submit your persuasive essay project draft. Creating a draft is an important part of the academic writing process as it allows your instructor to provide specific feedback on how to strengthen your argument, how to better reach your audience, and whether your sources support your argument. Creating a draft is also crucial to the academic writing process as it allows you to articulate your ideas and thoughts in an organized structure so that you can rethink your main ideas and rewrite them in a way that makes your argument more persuasive.

Directions

For this project draft, you will submit the first draft of your essay. You will use at least one source from the Project Resources and two sources that you find through your own research using the Shapiro Library to support your essay. This essay will become Part Two of the project that will be submitted in Module Seven.

Specifically, you must address the following
**rubric criteria**:

1.
**Thesis Statement**: Compose a thesis statement that addresses your position.

2.
**Key Points**: Support key points in your persuasive essay with evidence from your research.

A. These are the key points presented in your thesis statement.

3.
**Quotes or Paraphrases**: Use quotes or paraphrases to integrate evidence from research into your persuasive essay.

A. Include at least one quote or paraphrase for each body paragraph.

4.
**Strategies**: Include strategies to meet the needs of an audience. In your response, include:

A. An introduction with relevant background information that appeals to your chosen audience

B. A conclusion that summarizes your key points and includes a call to action for your chosen audience

5.
**Persuasive Writing Techniques**: Use persuasive writing techniques in the body of your persuasive essay.

A. Address and refute an opposing viewpoint to your position.

6.
**Attribution Conventions**: Use attribution conventions throughout your persuasive essay.

A. Use APA attribution conventions for all in-text citations or paraphrases.

B. Include a References page at the end of your persuasive essay.

What to Submit

Your submission should be a 2- to 3-page (with an additional title page and reference page) Microsoft Word document with 12-point Times New Roman font, double spacing, and one-inch margins. Sources should be cited according to APA style both throughout and at the end of your project draft. Use at least one source from the Project Resources and two sources that you find through your own research using the Shapiro Library to support your project draft.

**## ENG190ProjectResources.docx**

**ENG 190 Project Resources**

In this course, you will complete a project. There are two parts:

· A research question and sources

· A persuasive essay supported by research

For Part One, you will list the sources you will use in your persuasive essay and include a description of each source. For Part Two, you will write an essay that states your position on a topic and integrates evidence from the sources listed in Part One to support your key points.

This Project Resources provides a list of categories. Each category is linked to a research starter with background information. Choose a category that interests you and use the Research Starter to get an overview of possible topics related to that category. Then, read each of the articles in that category to pick a topic that you will research for your project. If you would like to select a different category not on the list, contact your instructor for approval of your selection to ensure the topic is sufficiently debatable and researchable to write your persuasive essay.

You will use at least three sources for this project: one of the articles from the Project Resources category you selected and two additional sources that you locate through your own research in the Shapiro Library. The Research Starter does not count as one of the three sources. You may consult with your instructor or the Shapiro Library for recommendations on locating sources.

Review the Project Guidelines and Rubric in the Assignment Information section to better understand the requirements.

ENG 190 Module Three Project Draft Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

As you are learning in ENG 190, the research process is an important part of writing a persuasive essay. In this assignment, you will create a collection of sources in the form of an annotated bibliography.

**Note:** This
**assignment is the first part of the project** that you will submit in Module Seven. A crucial part of the research process is identifying credible and relevant sources that support your topic and argument. In your annotations for each source, you must evaluate how they support your topic and argument, identify counterarguments, and represent diverse perspectives.

Directions

In this project draft, you will compile your research by evaluating and creating an annotated bibliography for
**at least three sources** that you selected in Modules One and Two that support your topic. One of these sources should be the original article that you selected in Module One from the Project Resources. The other two sources should be the ones that you selected during your library research in Module Two. Each entry must include an APA citation followed by an annotation addressing the criteria in the rubric below.

Specifically, you must address the following
**rubric criteria**:

1.
**Biased Sources:** Describe the impact of using biased sources to support your topic.

A. How does the presence of bias in each source impact your argument?

2.
**Diverse Perspectives:** Describe how diverse perspectives from sources support your position. Consider the following questions:

2. How do the multiple voices in the sources give evidence for your argument?

2. How do these diverse perspectives from your research support your topic?

3.
**Relevant Sources:** List three relevant sources to support your persuasive essay.

3. Include one source from the Project Resources and two sources that you find through your own research using the Shapiro Library.

3. Include an APA citation entry for each source.

4.
**Support:** Describe how each source supports
your topic.

4. Briefly summarize each source and state why the source is credible.

4. Explain how each source is relevant to your research question.

What to Submit

Your submission should be a 2- to 4-page annotated bibliography in a Microsoft Word document with 12-point Times New Roman font, double spacing, and one-inch margins. Sources should be cited according to APA style both throughout and at the end of your project draft.
