4-5 pages, MLA, double spaced, 1 inch margins. (Plus Bibliography)
5 Sources used to support your arguments. These sources should be appropriate for a college level paper on this topic. Must be MLA style and CITED BOTH IN THE TEXT OF THE PAPER AND BIBLIOGRAPHY at the end of the paper. The bibliography does not count toward the total page number.
1). Use Strong Language. Assert yourself and be confident in your opinion. Arguments with too many qualifying statements will not be regarded highly.
2). Be Clear and Concise. The more specific the better, Use concrete examples. Vague or broadly worded statements will negatively impact your paper.
3). Use Clear Organization. Identify what your main arguments are. Make it clear how many you plan to make in support of your position. Use an introduction and conclusion to preview and review your main points. The Organization should be clear.
4). Use Your Source Material Properly. All information should be clearly linked to a source. These sources must be cited in the paper.
Analyze the issue, not just describe. The clearer and more specific your arguments the better. Clear thesis, support for each main point, clear transitions, and effective conclusion. Sources should be cited in-text and include a bibliography for each paper. The bibliography does not need to be annotated for this assignment.
