Review of Issues Paper Requirements:

What is an Issues Paper? 

 

The Issues Paper is really an ‘argumentative essay.’  

 

An argumentative research paper is a combination of a traditional research paper and a persuasive essay. An argumentative paper makes a claim (thesis) about a topic and justifies this claim with specific evidence. The claim could be an opinion, a policy, a proposal, an evaluation, a cause-and-effect statement or an interpretation. The goal of the argumentative paper is to convince the audience that the claim is true based on the evidence provided.  

 

Some Important Things The Paper Will Include:  

 

1. 5 paragraphs minimum – 800-1000+ words. Double spaced, argumentative research paper with a: Title Page, Bibliography, Footnotes (or Endnotes), all in Chicago Documentation Style.  

2. 
   

3. Min 5 sources – each source must be used at least once inside of the paper. 

3. Present at least 3 pieces of evidence but no more than 5 to support your claims. These can be quotes, but don't have to be (can be paraphrased statements).

4. 
   

4. Paper Structure:

• Title
• Introduction
• Clear Argumentative Thesis Statement
• Body Paragraphs
• Conclusion
• References List (5 sources).

4. 
   

5. IMPORTANT: Do not plagiarize. Plagiarism is academic theft and will result in a failing mark and could result in a non-passing mark for Socials 10.  

Review of Stage 5 & 6.

Stage 5: Prepare Your Final Draft 

 

Proofread and submit all the parts of your project including your research notes. Don’t forget your paper must include a title page, footnotes/endnotes and a bibliography (all in Chicago/Harvard Style Documentation)  

  

Stage 6: Be prepared for your student-teacher document review meeting. At some stage of your writing process or post writing process I will be meeting with you one-on-one to ask you questions regarding your writing process and the creation of your final essay document. This will be part of your final overall mark.

Incorporating Sources into Your Research Paper

Further details and sample.

In Chicago style, direct quote citations are used to acknowledge when you have used the exact words of another author in your essay. To properly format a direct quote citation in Chicago style, follow these guidelines:

1. Introduce the quote: Begin with a signal phrase that identifies the author and the source of the quote. For example: "According to Smith," or "In his article, Johnson argues that."

2. Insert the quote: Enclose the exact words of the author in quotation marks. For longer quotes (four or more lines), use a block quote by indenting the entire quote one inch from the left margin and omitting quotation marks.

3. Include the citation: Immediately after the quote, include a citation that identifies the author, title, publication date, and page number of the source. This can be done in two ways:

a. In-text citation: Place the citation in parentheses at the end of the quote or block quote. For example: (Smith 2005, 27)

b. NOT REQUIRED! Use option A above. Footnote citation: Insert a superscript number at the end of the quote or block quote, and provide the full citation in a footnote at the bottom of the page.

4. List the source in your bibliography: Include a bibliography at the end of your essay that lists all sources cited in your paper, including the source of the direct quote. The format for the citation in the bibliography depends on the type of source, such as a book, journal article, or website.

Here is an example of a direct quote citation in essay in Chicago style:

According to Smith, "The decline in bee populations is a serious threat to our food supply" (2005, 27).

OR

According to Smith, "The decline in bee populations is a serious threat to our food supply"^(1).

Bibliography Sample:

Smith, John. The Importance of Bees. New York: Penguin Press, 2005, 27.

Class Discussion: What is the difference between a direct quote in text citation and a paraphrased statement/section?

Quoted Section Sample:

Don't forget to add the page number after the year!

Paraphrased Section Sample: What does paraphrasing mean?

In text citation of paraphrased statement/section:

> You would do the same as above without the indentation or quotation marks. You would still add the author and date citation as well as page number (if available) at the end of your paraphrased statement or section.
