Due: Friday, October 10th

1. You will need to think about the following prompts (which you notice are questions).

Three prompts for consideration:
              1. Should college be free? 
              2. Should high schools have the right to drug test? 
              3. Should a crime be considered more heinous if it is against a certain population? 

2. Next, please answer each prompt and format it as a thesis/claim. Go through and double check that it is arguable, topic has been minimized (if needed), and it has a direction of argument.

The prompt is considered a research question and you have now developed a workable thesis..

Have these three theses/claims done FOR class on FRIDAY.

Remember: Business letter for aphorism project.

Class on Friday:

3. You are now going to need to find THREE SOURCES of support for EACH thesis/claim. Here are two LMC databases that will be ideal in evidence retrieval.

Opposing Viewpoints Database

Global Issues in Context Database

4. Next, in the Google DOC I have created, do the following:
  - Write down your THESIS for the first prompt.
 -  Write down the proper WORKS CITED INFORMATION for EACH SOURCE that you found for this specific THESIS.
 -   You will also write down the proper way to do an IN-TEXT/Parenthetical Citation for this source. (The great thing is once you figure it out once.. it should be close to the same for the remaining sources)
- Follow the line of questioning that will guide you through source evaluation and application.
  - Do this for EACH source...  For EACH THESIS.
- It will be a good idea to SAVE your article to a Google folder so you will have access to these articles in the future.

This will be: 3 thesis statements, 9 works cited citations, and 9 in-text citations

Google doc for sources
- Copy this document to your own drive- DO NOT WRITE ON IT!
- I have only done the list of questions for thesis #1... you will need to copy the questions for thesis 2 and 3.

Please reference the PURDUE OWL LINK- for the proper way to cite the source choice.
