INSTUCTION
Paper #2 is an argument. This argument should have some connection to the exposition paper, but it should make a separate assertion that takes things further and requires more evidence. For example, if I had chosen the thesis statement "Octopi and some squid have followed a substantially different evolutionary path than most animals seeming to have left their evolutionary forebears far behind them in several adaptations, particularly in their neurological development." For Paper #1, then I might decide to narrow things to the nervous system for paper #2 because I've seen much more in the scholarly sources on this topic. In paper #1 I explained how octopuses diverged from other mollusks substantially and tied this in some ways to behaviors they have or niches they inhabit, To develop this idea I've come up with this thesis: "Darwin suggested that evolution was driven by survival of the fittest; if that's true, then it seems that octopuses at some point found their survival dependent on increasing sophistication particularly in the evolution of their nervous system." This might need to change as I move forward, but I do have a plan for how to move forward, broadly.
This paper should be 6 - 9 pages long and follow the instructions below. It is expected that some of what you've done will be integrated into paper #2 if only to provide introductory info. I have found a good way to start is to ask yourself if what you did in paper #1 could be condensed down (summarized briefly) into the introduction before the thesis statement for paper #2. That doesn't mean that other parts might not be useful, but you should be taking information more than sections of text. Remember, you have a new thesis making a different type of claim, and you must stay focused on that. Get the best assignment help from top tutors.
There will be several steps to this, but the resulting paper will need to do the following:
Be 6-9 pages long not including the appropriate style's end list of sources
Include appropriate in-text academic citation style and source list
Include at least three more scholarly sources (a total of six) that go beyond foundational knowledge and provide support for your thesis. Some of these new sources must be from peer reviewed journals. These sources will be appropriately cited within the text, and all sources (cited or consulted) will be included in appropriate end list.
Address the topic with a depth appropriate for an academic work
Supply what background is needed, and only what is needed, for an academic reader
Include a thesis statement that properly directs the paper and answers a focused research question
Leave no obvious gaps or lingering questions for the reader
Follow a clear and logical train of thought at both the local and global levels without straying from the topic
Carefully adhere to the conventions of grammar, usage, and mechanics as well as the formats required for the class.
