Your main objective is to explain how you envision the paper coming together for you. *The use of personal I statements are perfectly fine for this part of the assignment.*
Part 2 Overview:
Formulate a preliminary thesis statement that you will use for your argumentative research paper. The thesis should indicate to the reader the side of the issue being supported. You will have time as your paper comes together to revise your thesis statement as needed. See this resource (Links to an external site.) on crafting a thesis statement.
*Avoid the use of personal I statements when drafting the thesis statement. Do not use 1st person “I” or 2nd person “you/your.” Stick to 3rd person. Do not refer to the essay itself (Example: “This essay will prove…”).*
*Thesis statements are not in the form of a question.*
