Reasearch Paper Outline Drafting 3/1/2018
In class, today was the second day of drafting for our research paper outline. We have to research articles like we did before with the synthesis, and have to take four claims for each article we find, list two pieces of evidence from each article we get, and analyze the two pieces of evidence we find. While we research claims and articles each time we have to improve upon our thesis based on our research, for every article we research we should improve our thesis based on the articles claim to make the thesis pertain to it. Keep in mind that one of your articles and claims should come from the documentary you choose, I mean that's why we picked them out and watched these documentaries in the first place, otherwise what was the point. Everything must be in MLA format just like the synthesis, and you have to make a work cited page also in MLA format. I managed to greatly improve my thesis just by adding onto it for each day, I'm not taking anything out of it, just spicing it up because there's nothing wrong with what I already have. I've used the article I found in one of the databases I used for my synthesis, and used some points and the claims that came from that article and from my documentary "Touching the Void." The purpose in coming up with claims and revising the thesis is to make to the thesis as best as it can be for the final draft along with new claims to come up with which will also be in the final draft. Other than it's pretty basic, it's not suppose to be as tedious as an essay, it's just an outline. The outlines due Tuesday and we're just working on it in class until then, if you haven't started, get it done.
