The Introduction and Outline to your Research Paper is due this Thursday. Please include the first roughly-drafted page and a detailed outline. See the examples below and use them as models for your individual outlines. Remember that I am asking that you produce at least a half-page, detailed outline. See the generic outline I have produced that follows. Note that items in parenthesis are optional. As another example, see the outline that appears on pages 13-14 in Hacker's Writer's Reference; it has been scanned and provided below for your convenience.
Fourth, you need to bring two extra copies of your outline and introduction to class, so that we can perform a peer-edit of your work.
