The Research Paper: Essay #3 Task: Your research paper will discuss gambling addiction through the experiences of Angie Bachmann and ONE person who was able to overcome (go into recovery for) their addiction. Sources: The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg The Addictive Personality by Craig Nakken At least 2 additional outside sources (There is an excellent Research Guide for this in the Cuyamaca Library database that includes articles you can use for a hook and background information, narratives of compulsive gamblers, and information about recovery programs and support.) Organization: Introduction: • • • • Interesting hook (perhaps a fact or statistic about gambling or gambling addiction). Information about gambling addiction/compulsive gambling that leads into the people you are discussing. Brief introduction to Bachmann and the other person you have chosen. Thesis statement that makes a claim about why Bachmann’s efforts to overcome her problem were not successful whereas the other person’s were. Body Paragraph 1: • • • • Topic sentence about whether how they got into gambling was similar or different. (What were the influences or characteristics?) First statement of support, quote in context, explanation. Second statement of support, quote in context, explanation. Third statement of support, quote in context, explanation. Body Paragraph 2: • • • • Topic sentence about the effects that their gambling addictions had on their lives. First, statement of support, quote in context, explanation. Second statement of support, quote in context, explanation. Third statement of support, quote in context, explanation. Body Paragraph 3: • • • Topic sentence that makes an argument about the most effective methods of recovery/support for these compulsive gamblers. First statement of support, quote in context, explanation. Second statement of support, quote in context, explanation. • Third statement of support, quote in context, explanation. (make sure you tie these ideas to the individuals’ experiences) Conclusion: • • • Restate your thesis. Summarize your subpoints in 1-2 sentences. End the essay in a logical way. This may be a general statement about recovery from a gambling addiction, a call to action, a tie back to your hook, or any other ending that is logical. Works Cited • List every source used in MLA format and attach as a separate page to the essay Important Notes: Each body paragraph must have 2 different sources!!! This means that two quotes may be from the same source, but not the third. You may use additional quotes or paraphrases in the body paragraphs as long as they are properly introduced and explained. Don't forget that plagiarism is cause for failure. This must be your paper written in your words. Every time you copy more than three consecutive words from a source, you must cite it. I take this very seriously and so should you. Your essay must be submitted through Safe Assign in Blackboard. Safe Assign does not “catch” everything, but I can generally tell when the words you are using are not your own.
