Consider Narrowing the Topic so that you’re exploring one or several specific focuses. If you’re pro-human genetic engineering, consider focusing on something like its potential to improve heath, athleticism, +/or intelligence; if you’re opposed, consider focusing on its implications such as health, morality, a social elite, unforeseen consequences, etc. III. Research: Then perform research of your own from these different types of sources. You could research facts, statistics, or expert opinions related to your topic. Make sure you collect the citation/bibliographic information MLA format for your Works Cited list (emailing yourself the article with the citation is the safest bet). When you research, check to make sure the source is credible, relevant, representative, and sufficient (review our argumentation module if you need to review what these terms mean). You’ll need at least these ten types of sources: TEN Required Sources (you’re welcome to have a lot more than ten, but you must have each of these types of sources) Five Academic Journal Articles (all five can be from our Genetic Engineering class readings) One News(paper) Article One Magazine Article One Book (hard copy from our library catalog or e-book from our library databases) One Reliable Website Article One Video, Audio, or Image
