Gffdg Essay, Research Paper

B A B paper is generally focused on a more particular problem or issue; it reveals that the author has gone through brainstorming

and drafting exercises to discover an original position that can be supported with convincing evidence. It generally uses external

sources to buttress its argument. Structurally, A B paper is not confined within the 5-paragraph structure; rather it uses the

introduction to narrow the topic to a specific thesis that is then proven through various strategies of argumentation. A B paper

generally avoids “First, second, third” transitions in favor of more “organic” phrases that give the argument a sense of contrast and

development (”Another,” “instead,” ?However”-these are “higher-order” transitions). The conclusion avoids summary; rather it

places the issue in a broader social context, saying, if this issue is illuminated, then what happens?
