Description:
For this journaling activity, you will work on identifying a topic for your final research paper.
Objectives:
Discover your interests and potential topics using prewriting.
Instructions:
In a Microsoft Word document, compose a 150 – to 200-word “free write” which is an informal paper (or paragraph, in this case) where you simply brainstorm ideas on paper (or WORD, in this case). Please use this assignment to consider what kind of topic you would like to focus on in your final paper. Note, it must be something researchable, not personal. Hence, you cannot write about how much you enjoyed your latest birthday party (because that cannot be academically cited or verified), but you can write about the history of the “Happy Birthday” song or the tradition of pinatas (because these topics do have valid research articles supporting their histories).
Note: The final paper will be 3-5 pages (double-spaced) not including the Title Page, Abstract Page, and Reference List (which must consist of at least five quality sources). It must be typed in Times New Roman 12 and adhere to APA formatting, as must all of the written assignments in this course. -

*INSTRUCTIONS
You need to complete an argument paper about your issue in North Carolina. You are going to show the following in your paper:
A specific claim that about your topic/issue in North Carolina – Remember, argument is based around the idea that people disagree and/or take various sides on an issue. You need to take a firm stand on how your topic is a problem in our state. Do not simply state a fact, like, “There are many homeless people in North Carolina.” This is not an argument. It is a fact that has been proven with research. However, you could argue, “The increasing homeless population in North Carolina is largely due to mental health issues that are not properly addressed because of state laws.”
Logical reasoning and evidence that prove your claim – You need to craft an organized and logical argument that proves your claim. You must present sound reasoning that is supported with scholarly, relevant and recent evidence. It is also important how your present this information, meaning the research you use should not take the place of your own writing. Remember, research is there to support YOUR reasoning, not take the place of it.
You understand opposing claims/points of view and can refute them – You need to show that you understand the varying points of view on your topic, and that you can analyze, paraphrase or summarize them. Also, you are able to refute these opposing claims using logic, reasoning and evidence (not simply stating that others are “wrong” in their opinion).
The use of a table, graph or infographic that adds emphasis to your argument – Select a relevant and recent table, graph or infographic from a source to incorporate into your argument. It should be tied to your reasoning and used as evidence to support your claim. Properly cite it using MLA or APA citation. *Only use one and it can not be larger than the size of a normal paragraph. Carefully consider the sequence, structure and design of your argument when placing the infographic into your essay.
You understand your college-level audience and write to them in an objective, high style using clear, concise language – Even though this argument is based off your own opinion, you still need to write in a formal manner. Don’t use wording that “hedges” your argument, like, “I believe” and “I think.” Write in a confident tone. You are the authority of this argument. Do not rely on sources too much or have sources take over your essay. Your research should support your voice, not replace your voice as the authority in this argument. You want to continue to show that you have progressed in your writing through this semester. It should be clear, concise and virtually free of basic errors in grammar and mechanics.
You understand how to properly create a full citation and in-text citation using MLA or APA guidelines. -
