Topic: Mating of dinosaurs. Problem: Did dinosaurs use dance to attract their mating partners? 12 page, double space I. Argue a problem. It a good idea to start with a problem and try to get specific. “Were the non-bird dinosaurs wiped out by an asteroid impact?” Argue the point, present referenced evidence or the summary of someone else’s argument (again referenced). Do not do a book report.2. Use primary references. Test books are not primary references and neither are most popular accounts such as newspaper articles or TIME magazine articles. or even books like Colbert’s “The Dinosaur Book”. Sometimes, of course, these are the only sources for a particular idea or datum, but this is rare. Texts, however, are a good place for you to start to get ideas for your paper and as a guide to getting at the primary literature.3. A WWW site is usually not an acceptable reference. We very strongly recommend surfing the web for resources on dinosaurs and related topics. However. the information you collect usually needs to have a literature reference not a Web reference. Wikipedia is not acceptable as a reference, although it might be for an image. The good Web sites have a list of references. Use those; look them up in the library, on line or in person! Make sure the references conform to the concept of primary references as outlined above.4. Use a standard reference format. MLA and bibliography in the end5. Make sure you attribute ideas and data to proper sources. DO NOT construct your paper from a series of block quotes. You do not need to use quotes unless you need to quote the text verbatim, such as in an especially eloquent statement. Paraphrasing is appropriate, but make sure you reference the idea
