Primary source project (survey, experiment, or observation) or one interview; one book; one library database sources; and one multimedia source.

Including at least, one primary source project (survey, experiment, or observation) or one interview; one book; one library database sources; and one multimedia source. You may also use any other credible source. No single source is to be cited more than three to five times in the paper Topic: Unsolved Mysteries This second paper will be a continuation, of sorts, from Paper 2. That does NOT MEAN that you just tack on a few pages of argument and hit submit. The paper may be able to use parts of Paper 2, and definitely sources, ideas, concepts, and even quotations, but Paper 2 was written to inform, so your language and wording will be different from what we’re writing now, with the argument paper. The real goal is to take what you’ve learned about in Paper 2, and then argue about it in the second paper. If the first paper was to cover the major theories behind the Voynich Manuscript, the second needs to argue which of those theories is most likely, how you came to that conclusion, and why it makes the most sense. If your first paper was about the murder of JonBenet Ramsey and the still unsolved investigation of her death, then the second needs to hone in on who you think the most likely suspect is and why you think that. Or, you could argue about what we as a society need to do to better investigate such murders, or whether we should be fixated on such cases, or whatever you wish to argue. Again, my examples are not prescriptive. Choose your own argument, your own step to solve whatever problem you want to push back against. That’s the argument. Do I expect you to have the solution to all the world’s ills or solve all the world’s unsolved mysteries? No! That’s not the point, though. The reason most of these are unsolved is because we simply don’t have enough information. The point of doing this kind of research essay is learning to read deeply, think critically, and write convincingly about the world. If all you get out of this class is learning how to make a point and back it up with citable facts from credible sources, then you’ve learned the basics. Note – CREDIBLE sources. Not wacky blogs by people of questionable ethics and limited knowledge. I have supplied my outline as well as the rubric and the paper before this that this one is based on.
