Expand the outline you wrote in Lesson 1 about the American Dream into an argumentative research
essay. As in most essays, you'll need to include an introduction, body, and conclusion You ll also need to
support your claim with evidence
Your evidence will come from sources that you researched in Lesson 1. although you should feel free to
seek out new sources if you need them. Take special care to integrate your sources correctly - whether
you're quoting them or paraphrasing them - so that you avoid plagianism. You want to make it obvious
which words and ideas are your own and which come from sources. In text citations help you make this
distinction.
Your essay should include the following elements:
• An introduction paragraph that includes an argumentative claim about the American Dream
• Body paragraphs that present evidence from sources and provide reasons that support your claim
• Correctly integrated and cited quotes or paraphrases from credible sources
• A visual aid, such as a chart or graph, that is relevant to the topic of the essay
- A conclusion paragraph that wraps up the essay in a satisfying way
