Instructions: Delete my headings and all the instructions I have typed. Do NOT skip extra lines between paragraphs – only indent. Each heading that I list below can be multiple paragraphs (and probably will be to meet page requirements). Make sure to start a new paragraph when your focus shifts . Make sure to remove the bold and highlights.

Introduction Paragraph (Delete these headings and everything I have typed)

Place your introduction paragraph here. Provide a general overview of your topic. End with your thesis statement as your last sentence. Please underline your thesis statement. This intro should give an overview of your main assertion for the paper. This is a position paper so it should state a position on the topic – but do not use “I” me, we, or “this paper will” etc. For example (and you can choose to follow my suggested thesis here if you want): The United States should/should not be a policing power in the world because – and then list your main reasons why.

Body Topic 1 (will be more than one paragraph): Begin with this sentence - The United States has provided policing actions in several countries from 1865-1980. These actions include – and then list the specific three you will focus on. Then explain what each event was about, what the U.S. military action was, and public views/reactions. Provide an evaluation of whether each action was necessary and examine the consequences of the action. (Each one will be its own paragraph and maybe two depending on how much info you have. (make sure they are U.S. policing actions of another country!)

Body Topic 2 (will be more than one paragraph):: Begin with this topic sentence The United States has continued to police actions in several countries since 1981. These actions include – and then list the specific three you will focus on. Then explain what each event was about, what the U.S. military action was, and public views/reactions. Provide an evaluation of whether each action was necessary and examine the consequences of the action. (Each one will be its own paragraph and maybe two depending on how much info you have. (make sure they are U.S. policing actions of another country!)

Conclusion paragraph: Summarize the main ides of your entire paper. Remember to restate your thesis in a slightly different way. Do not introduce any new info in the conclusion.
