After you have written your outline, you will initiate work on the first draft of your paper. While the draft is not expected to include all of the points that you will have in your final paper, it must provide enough detail so that the general scope and depth of the final paper is clear. Your final paper must be at least 1,800 words and include six or more credible sources. Two of the resources must be from academic journals.
Your first draft must include the following four sections:
An introduction that introduces the selected topic and discusses how the analysis was conducted.
A literature review that provides a detailed summary of the economic circumstances and facts that serve as the foundation of the economic analysis.
A narrative body that includes:
An economic analysis that uses the tools developed in the course along with your graphical depiction of the economics applied to your topic. Provide an explanation of the graphical analysis. Don’t leave it to the reader to figure out your intention. The specific analysis will depend on your chosen topic.
Statistics that support your topic and narrative.
Conclusion and a brief summary.

An abstract and table of contents are not required.
Comments from my instructor: Hi Scott, I appreciated the opportunity to read through your draft. It’s a good start, now the key is going to be working to combine some scholarly evidence with some good Econ 210 reasoning to make your points. You’ve got the foundation of many Econ 210 concepts already present–just need to clarify the reasoning (not just bringing in textbook material but instead elaboration on the application). You’ll need far more scholarly references in the paper and in-text citations. This doesn’t mean lots of direct quotations in the paper. Other things equal I’d avoid direct quotes unless we really required the original author’s words verbatim. Instead I’d paraphrase (and use the appropriate citation convention) and that way make the paper more seamless between ideas.
Each paper needs to have at least one graph, preferably in the appendix, to explain the economic principle or one aspect of the concept that discussed in the paper. I have completed the rubric so you may find your grade based upon the rubric.
