Maximum: 1,500 words
Paragraphs
One Introduction Paragraph
Three or Four Body Paragraphs
One Conclusion Paragraph
Research
3-5 research sources found using the college’s academic databases, book/ebook catalog, or the internet.
Only 1-2 of the research sources can be from the internet–the others should come from academic databases and/or the book/ebook catalog. Also, if you only use three research sources, only one of them can be from the internet.
In-Text Citations
Please incorporate 5 total in-text citations from your research articles, making sure to quote from each article at least once.
If you have only 3 articles, you’ll be quoting from at least one of them more than once.
Please do not citemore than 5 times total: the essay’s too short for more than 5.
NOTE: Please don’t cite 5 times from each article: that would mean you would have 15 total quotes (5 quotes from 3 articles)!
Direct Quotes & Paraphrases:
Direct Quotes: Three of the five in-text citations should be direct quotes.
Paraphrases: Two of the five in-text citations should be paraphrases.
Works Cited
Unlike the Works Cited you created for your last two essays, this one actually counts 10% of your essay’s final grade (the previous two were just practice). Therefore, be sure to use the Works Cited Guide to create your Works Cited and not try to do it on your own.
