4.2.8 Write: Prepare a Research Project, Part II Writing guide English 11 Sem 1 Name: Lucy Lilly Date: 1/4/2019 Expand the outline you wrote in Lesson 1 about the American Dream into an argumentative research essay. As in most essays, you'll need to include an introduction, body, and conclusion. You'll also need to support your claim with evidence. Your evidence will come from sources that you researched in Lesson 1, although you should feel free to seek out new sources if you need them. Take special care to integrate your sources correctly ? whether you're quoting them or paraphrasing them ? so that you avoid plagiarism. You want to make it obvious which words and ideas are your own and which come from sources. In-text citations help you make this distinction.

The major difference is that the questions now relate to passages of writing, with editing required. That editing takes two basic forms: (a) corrections of grammar (testing ?standard English conventions?) and (b) editing to improve rhetorical presentation (the ?expression of ideas?). Grammar tested
