Formal Proposal for Final Paper

I am sticking to my topic from the last paper. I am writing about minimum wage and I am supporting that the minimum wage should be raised. So far, I have three solid sources that I want to use as reference and credibility for my paper. One is one of the articles I used in my last paper, and I found one academic and a separate popular source from the Huffington Post. I am only on the research phase of the paper and doing the reflective annotated bibliographies for them at the present stage. I want to start thinking about how I want to organize the paper. I think that will be a very difficult part to my paper writing stage. After repeatedly, not repetitively, hearing that the point of the paper is not to take a side but to learn something out of the research that I do and the paper that I write. I want to inform the reader as well, I guess. I do have some questions. What are the possible ways to analyze the point of this paper? Like I do understand that it is to make a point and take a side on an argument…but like what would be required? Are you looking for how well we can take a side (or not) and support the side that we are taking and the rhetoric and technique of all of our writing? Yeah let me know.. it would help a lot!
