This mini-paper will serve as the first step of the larger research process wherein the foundational knowledge is built to establish a strong foundation for argument.

As you collect sources, log your sources in the “Sources & Beginnings List.”
Introduction: Introduce your chosen topic, provide background to topic, identify issue/central debate with the topic, and your answer to the issue identified. Do not employ evidence, yet.
Body–Narration: This is where you will show your readers how your evidence led you to your thesis.
Conclusion: Recap talking points and conclusions, then close with a “So What?”
