Expansion of Paper 1 into the Full Research Paper
The full research paper will simply be an expansion of Paper 1, with the essay section increasing to 2,000 to 2,500 words in length, and an annotated bibliography of the actual sources used in this longer essay replacing the regular references page at the end of the paper.
No abstract is required for your paper! All pages of this paper, from title page to the last paragraph of the last annotation paragraph, must be correctly formatted in APA 7 style. The first paragraph of the essay-the introduction-must provide a context for your paper's main argument (see research proposal form), as well as an arguable thesis statement that reflects the evidence provided in the 8-10 sources of your annotated bibliography that appears at the end of the paper. Each body paragraph must have its own topic sentence. (These were covered in "Video Playlist: REVIEW--Detailed steps for organizing an academic essay" in the "Course Materials.").
