Rhetoric II
Prof. G. Steinberg

Research Paper

For your research paper, compose a definitional argument on the topic that you proposed in Paper 3.

Your research paper should be roughly 2,500 words long (about 10 pages).  I would recommend that you use at least 8-10 substantial sources.  At least some of your sources should be professional and scholarly, although you may also use surveys, questionnaires, interviews, reliable web sites, and other forms of research, depending on the nature of your topic.  As much as possible, you should use primary sources for your information -- rather than second-hand sources.

Organize your paper carefully (click here for further information and guidance).  Keep in mind that your research paper will be graded based on my usual grading criteria for papers.
