You may also choose to add more antioxidants through your diet. Research this subject and be prepared to answer the following questions:

What are free radicals? What kind of harm can they cause?

What do antioxidants do for us? How do we get antioxidants? Do some research into food products or supplements that are said to be good for us.

Can too many antioxidants be a bad thing? Explain why or why not.

What are the health benefits of antioxidants according to their supporters? Can you find any research to back up any of these claims?

Following your research, will you try to increase your intake of antioxidants? Why or why not?

Question Description

The short paper assignment/primary source research assignment is a 100 point assignment. You need to write an analytical paper on the primary source and use the main textbook as the secondary source. A long explanation of the paper assignment details is posted under Assignments along with videos and tutorials on how to write this paper.

On this page- post the link for the primary source that you are going to use for this paper and the thesis statement.

Use a formula to develop a working thesis statement (which you will need to revise later). Here are a few examples:

  1. Although most readers of ______ have argued that ______, closer examination shows that ______.
  2. ______ uses ______ and ______ to prove that ______.
  3. Phenomenon X is a result of the combination of ______, ______, and ______.

These formulas share two characteristics all thesis statements should have: they state an argument and they reveal how you will make that argument. They are not specific enough, however, and require more work.
