Essay Structure
Exactly five paragraphs long : introduction, 3 body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
This is a straightforward argument; please do not present the opposing view and counter-argue.
Start your essay with an INTRODUCTION paragraph. Write a strong thesis statement that takes a stand and put it at the end of your introduction for emphasis.
* Write 3 BODY PARAGRAPHS. Each body paragraph should start out with topic sentence which lists one clear reason. Start each topic sentence with an argument transition. (Example: one reason is, another reason is, the most important reason is, etc.).
* After each topic sentence, set up and explain 2 or 3 short quotes from a source or sources. We will be using “secondary sources.” You can directly quote or paraphrase, but remember to use a correct in-text citation so you don’t accidentally plagiarize.
* End each body paragraph on a closing sentence which restates part of the topic sentence. A good closing sentence is longer than the topic sentence.
* Use a minimum of 3 different SOURCES (articles) for this assignment. One will need to be from the ICC library database (click here). Do not use Wikipedia, debate.org, pro/con.org, or other weak sources
* End your essay on a CONCLUSION paragraph which repeats part of your thesis statement, summarizes all of your body paragraphs, and adds a deeper insight so your reader knows how important your topic is.
* On the next page, create a WORKS CITED PAGE listing the 3 (or more) sources where you got your quotes. Do not list any sources you read, but did not use in your essay.
* See the additional posts and VIDEOS. These will help you write a strong thesis statement, find and use quotes from reliable sources, cite your sources properly in-text and in a works cited page, and properly set up an MLA style document.
Length: Minimum of 1,400 words. Maximum of 2,000 words. Double-spaced pages using MLA formatting. No cover sheet.
Submit your ROUGH publish as a .doc, .docx, or .pdf format ONLY.
