Do not offer your own opinions directly in the body of your paper. Write exclusively in the third person, not the first person. You may present the arguments by scholars, experts, journalists, politicians and others in a formal, substantiated, documented manner. You are writing objectively, telling both sides of the issue. Examine the issue objectively and report on what you have found. Like a lawyer in court proving a case, you will use evidence presented by experts and witnesses. Lawyers in a case do not testify themselves. They must let their witnesses prove the case. You will be doing much the same thing. Remember that this is a research paper, not a list of questions and answers, not a list of bulleted points to address. DO NOT insert subheadings in your paper. Also, DO NOT use illustrations or charts in your paper. You are telling the story of this issue and the surrounding politics and controversy. You are acting as a newspaper reporter would in writing an objective article over viewing in general what happened. Again, do not put headings and subheadings in your paper because you don’t have room for it in such a short paper. Let your development and transition tell the reader what area you’re addressing. You MUST, of course, document each use of a source in your paper.
