Clear claims, reasons, evidence, counterclaims, rebuttals, and formal academic voice
A practical workbook for students who need help writing school-style persuasive or argumentative essays, especially when the assignment does not allow first person.

The Research Paper Roadmap — $19 introductory/$29
Research papers can feel overwhelming because students have to manage so many pieces at once: choosing a focused topic, creating a research question, building a working thesis, taking notes from sources, organizing body sections, using evidence, citing borrowed ideas, and creating the required final source list.
The Research Paper Roadmap breaks that process into clear, manageable steps.
This workbook is best for homeschool, dual-enrollment, and independent students who can write short essays but feel unsure how to handle longer academic papers with sources.
Students learn how to:
narrow a broad topic
create a focused research question
build a working thesis
organize by idea instead of by source
take useful source notes
use quotes, paraphrases, and summaries responsibly
explain evidence instead of dropping it into a paragraph
understand in-text citations and final source lists
tell the difference between Works Cited, References, Bibliography, Works Consulted, and annotated bibliography requirements
avoid source-dumping, patchwriting, and missing citations
check whether the final source list matches the sources used in the paper
Includes:
topic narrowing practice
research question worksheet
thesis examples
full worked research paper example
source credibility checklist
source note-taking pages
quote/paraphrase/explanation worksheet
research paper outline planner
annotated bibliography practice pages
revision checklist
parent support guide
final source-list audit
