Assignment 6

<subject is death penalty>

For the Unit 6 Assignment, you will include four credible sources related to your idea for change. For each source, begin by listing the reference list citation, followed by a paragraph discussing and assessing the source.

Your Research Planning Guide should include the following:

Title page in APA format

Your revised thesis statement for an argument for change in your community

Four reference list citations in APA format (You may use the sources you found in Units 4, 5, and 6)

Four paragraphs (510 sentences per paragraph), one for each source, avoiding direct quotes throughout.

One of your sources should address a rival hypothesis or misconception about your topic (NOTE: The source does not have to oppose your thesis; it just needs to help you address a rival perspective)

Revise to ensure your writing is clear, concise, complete, and correct, following the Four Cs of good writing

Paragraphs should include the following:

1- to 2-sentence summary of the sources main idea, followed by an in-text citation, e.g. (Smith, 2021).

Evaluation of the sources credibility. Provide two reasons, such as the authors credentials and the currency of the source; your evaluation should also include where you found the source (Library, Google search engine, government website, etc.). Use the criteria covered in Evaluating Sources to guide your evaluation.

Finally, paraphrase a key point from the source that supports or challenges your thesis and include an in-text citation. Discuss how you will use the source to support your argument for change in your community. If the source presents a rival perspective or challenge to your argument, indicate how you will address this challenge.

NOTE: No separate references page is needed, but each annotation should have a complete reference citation in APA format.

As a reminder, review the ethical uses of artificial intelligence.
