Argument Prospectus with Annotations Essay
the paper should be at least 1000 words and MLA style. Should contain the following:
• A brief overview of the matter at hand
• A clear rationale that addresses the context of the topic
• A specific, narrowed thesis statement (in essence, an “I plan to argue that. . .” statement)
• A clear agenda indicating your intent and probable lines of argument
• Works cited that not only address the writer’s position but also opposing viewpoints
• Effective annotations
• Few mechanical or grammatical errors
• Predominant use of the present tense and 3rd person.
You will then write the prospectus as described above. This is a snapshot of the research you have conducted
to this point. Good researchers always review many more sources than they actually use. Therefore, your list
will contain at least seven sources, at least one of which is from The Engaged Reader (your starting point
article), and at least two of which must be scholarly in nature (i.e. published in scholarly journals); other
articles may be journalistic, if they have come from high-quality sources. Begin with your rationale and agenda
and conclude with your list of sources, under the heading, “Annotated Works Consulted.”
