Research Proposal
As you develop your thesis and arguable points, consider the Getting Started With Research page in this guide; it will help to recognize what kind of thesis and points are researchable. You will need at least four sources supporting your claim, including one scholarly and one popular source. You may also want to consider counter claims or opposing viewpoints. You will also need an additional two YouTube videos connected to your topic.
You will also be writing an annotated bibliography in MLA style for the sources you find. You can find more information on the Citing Sources page in this guide.
