 Final Research Paper:

You should take an argumentative stance. That  way, you will not be simply writing a book report like you may have had  to do in other classes or even in high school. You will be able to  formulate an argumentative topic in which you take a stand on a particular issue.

A reasonable person should be able to take the opposing side of your  issue. Your job, then, is to convince him that your position is correct,  or at least that it should be seriously considered. If  there are not at least two sides to your issue (look at your thesis  statement), you basically have a review of the literature, not an  argument.

I have included an Argumentative PowerPoint Presentation to assist you in creating a good argumentative topic and in incorporating your sources to support your assertion.
