These are the instructions for the second draft of the argument essay.
Remember: This formal academic research-based argument essay requires inquiry, research and critical thinking on your part since this is an argument driven, well-reasoned essay where evidence must be provided as support.  Therefore, the essay you write cannot be merely a report on your chosen topic, because a report only informs the reader, it does not argue a stance. 
Requirements:
In all drafts you will employ an argument thesis and extend that argument through the use of claims and evidence to support for the argument.  Thereby developing a complete logical/reasoned academic or formal argument.
In supporting this first draft of the argument you must incorporate at a minimum:
A minimum of six academic sources as evidence/ support for your claims
The “I” voice can be used, BUT in a limited manner.  Do not over use the “I” voice so much so that your essay becomes an opinion essay.  Use it when it is necessary, and sparingly.
No less than 5 full pages and no more than 6 pages in length for this draft. The required APA cover page and Reference page are not included in the essay page length, they are in addition to.
You are given a page minimum to meet so develop the argument, pro and con claims and a conclusion. 
Work to be clear and concise in this early draft so the reader can see the argument developing.
