Research Essay Topical Outline (MEAL plan for body paragraphs with Source Synthesis) Your resources for this assignment: Grant Shepherd Four Articles.pdf Grant Shepherd Works Cited 8 Articles.docx Grant Shepherd Submitted Notes Pages.pdf Instructions: During this Honorlock session, write a formal topical outline for your research essay. Your outline should follow these requirements: Seven sources (four found in the San Jac Library Super Search and three through a Google search): Use information from all seven of your sources that you have annotated and created notes for in previous weeks. They are provided to you in a PDF file above this outline format. If you did not submit all the sources in previous weeks, you may not see the required number of sources here, which will lead to a grade deduction. Answer your Research Question in multiple paragraphs: Organize the essay outline around major ideas that help lead to an answer to your research question Source Synthesis: Each body paragraph must synthesize TWO sources to help answer your research question. Synthesizing sources means to combine them together by explaining the ways two sources agree with one another, disagree with one another, or extend/add to the ideas of one another. Sources should be connected through a shared idea, pattern, or meaningful contrast. Do NOT organize paragraphs source-by-source. Each paragraph must follow the MEAL plan structure of Main Idea  Evidence synthesized from at least two sources Analysis of the Evidence, and How It Answers the Main Idea Last word and lead in – a conclusion or wrap up to the paragraph and a lead in to the next paragraph (in other words, a transition) Number of body paragraphs: Decide how many body paragraphs you think you will need to answer your research question effectively. I included six here, but you may have more or fewer. Use the outline format below. You do not need to retype the entire outline format. Instead, just use the Roman numerals, label the parts briefly, and personalize the outline for your research question and sources Thesis Statement Write your current thesis statement, or in other words, what do you think the main idea of your essay will be?
