Writing Assignment Four

Using WA2 and WA3, create an argumentative research essay. Remember this is an argumentative essay and needs a thesis statement that attempts to convince the reader of something. You will incorporate WA 2 (the proposal) as your first page. WA 3 (the annotated bibliography) will be supporting research for your argument.

Instructions:

• Outline your essay using the Toulmin method based on the research you have already completed.
• Include supporting research from WA 3 (where appropriate) to further support your analysis.
• Remember each supporting paragraph needs to flow and be part of one cohesive paper.
• Conclude.

Sample Outline:

• Proposal - first/second paragraph. Make sure you have an argumentative thesis statement.
• Restructured pieces of WA 2 with transition sentences. -  Body Paragraphs. Supportive research to back up your thesis statement. Intercut with specific examples of the film.
• Conclusion.
