Research Paper: Mini-Draft Guidelines, Sample, and Submission

You must submit at least 250 words of your draft.

I am most interested in seeing the hook you use to catch your audience's interest in the introductory section and in your thesis statement (make sure you underline your thesis). You must include at least one source in this draft; you should also display the correct usage of MLA in-text citations. At the top of the draft, you may write 2-3 specific questions that you would like me to address when I look at your draft (please note that I cannot comment on grammatical issues in great detail).

I expect students to edit their own work. A good question would be something like this: Does my thesis statement look focused enough?
