• 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, 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:
  • multiple sentence summary of the source's main idea, followed by an in-text citation, e.g., (Smith, 2021).
  • Evaluation of the source's credibility. Provide two reasons, such as the author's 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 inEvaluating Information 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.
