• A strong introduction paragraph containing a clear thesis statement. • A body that consists of a sufficient number of supporting paragraphs. Each paragraph should either provide evidence to support your thesis or refute a potential argument against your thesis. Generally, you should organize your body paragraphs using clearly worded topic sentences. • To earn a passing grade, you must use a minimum of 4 sources to support your argument. To be eligible for full credit (an “A” grade), you must use at least five sources. Your research sources must, of course, be credible, reliable, and appropriate to your topic. • Sufficient desсrіptive details to fully explain your supporting evidence. Since much of your supporting evidence will be drawn from your research, you will need to apply what you have learned about summarizing, paraphrasing, and quoting from sources. This is a relatively short paper, so you should use quotes sparingly and avoid using long quotes (anything more than two lines of text). • To avoid plagiarism, all words and ideas drawn from your sources must be accompanied by properly formatted in-text citations. • A strong concluding paragraph that sums up the essay without being repetitive. • A desсrіptive and appropriate title (titles like “Paper #4” and “Researched Argument” are neither desсrіptive nor appropriate). • Your paper must use MLA formatting. • Since you will be working from sources, you must include an MLA-formatted “Works Cited” page. • Proofread carefully before you submit your assignment. Your paper should be written in standard, edited American English. • Required Length: 4 to 5 typed, double-spaced pages (not including any “Works Cited” pages), in a standard, 12-point font.
