Argument: Why I try to do what I try to do: the difference between what you are often asked to do in high school and what you'll be asked to do in college. A great site from the University of Chicago which goes right along with what Carolina says. Writing in College by Joseph M. Williams and Lawrence McEnerney.

Format rubric: This is the same rubric you got/will get with the research paper. If your paper is only on the primary source and does not need a Works Cited page, you will simply use the other two sections of the rubric. In any case, most papers will need this rubric.
