OURLINE: List each topic sentence as a separate sentence. Under each topic sentence, provide supporting evidence by incorporating facts through a summary or a paraphrase, each with a properly formatted APA in-text citation.

Create a References page in APA format with each source cited in your outline. 3. Draft the first part of your essay (3–4 pages) according to the following: Begin with your revised opening paragraph, and include your thesis statement and the quote from the Unit 1 Submission. Make sure you are addressing the audience that you have identified for your paper. Write 3 body paragraphs (including at least 1 quotation, 1 summarization, and 1 paraphrase with corresponding in-text citations and references in APA format).

Incorporate multimediaMultimedia, such as visuals, videos, audio, are often used in an essay to highlight, clarify, or further explain an item in that essay. Make sure you incorporate credible information sources (a minimum of 3, 1 of them a multimedia piece), and that they are cited in correct APA format (in-text citations and a corresponding References page). 4. Only submit the counter-paragraph, the concluding paragraph, and the updated References page this week! This assignment will add the two remaining parts of the argumentative essay that you have been developing over the previous units. Make sure it is in APA format (i.e., double-spaced, in 12-point Times New Roman font, with APA-style in-text citations and References page). Write the counter-argument paragraph. Paraphrase or quote evidence from sources with in-text citations to support your counter-argument. A counter-argument paragraph is important because it presents a possible argument against your thesis. There are two reasons why this important: (1) It gives you a chance to respond to a possible objection by your readers before they finish reading your essay, and (2) It shows that you considered both sides of the argument. Both of these reasons make your essay stronger. For example, if your thesis statement indicates that students do not need to learn about racism because they are familiar with it, then a counter-argument paragraph might contain information about what causes racism because being familiar with racism is not the same as what causes it. Write the conclusion (restate your claim, and summarize the evidence). Update your References page to ensure that you have listed all of the sources that you cited in your paper so far (you must have a minimum of 3), using proper APA format (for in-text citations and corresponding References page). Submit ONLY these 2 new paragraphs and the updated References page 5. Argumentative Essay (Phase 5) Your final essay will be compiled and submitted this week.
