Research Training Part 1

We will be working toward writing a full research essay. This first essay is just an introduction to part of the process. I would like you to write a 2-3 page (double-spaced) essay telling me which theory explaining the origin of the first Americans you favor: Clovis-First Theory or the Pre-Clovis Theory. Use the article we discussed in class and the textbook. Please include a works cited page.

Works Cited vs. Bibliography: A bibliography is literally a “list of books.” It is a comprehensive list of possible resources someone could use for further reading. A works cited page is a list of resources that you used (cited) in your research. It only includes those resources you actually borrowed from or referred to. Works Cited format using the MLA style can be found in Writing For College number 311(. Include in your works cited page the citation information for the article & textbook, and for any other sources you choose to use (extra research is not required).
