ASSIGNMENT GUIDELINE

Persuasive Essay #2—Documented Paper

· 2-3 sources—NO internet except for actual journal articles (remember that Academic Onefile articles are fine, as only the index is electronic)

· parenthetical documentation (see your handbook)

· works cited page (see your handbook) (USE MLA FORMAT)

· minimum 5 quotes --Please be certain to lead into each quote smoothly, and identify the speaker if your quote is actually what someone has said (as opposed to a phrase or sentence taken directly from the source)

· do not use “you”

· If there is anything in your sources you don’t understand, ASK. For instance, if there are allusions, it is necessary to know them in order to understand what the writer is trying to accomplish.

· Try to consider all aspects of the topic as you prepare your organization of ideas. Remember that your thesis will inform your reader of your intent, so be unified, specific, and limited.

· Besides the paper itself, you will need an outline. Do not include “introduction” or “conclusion” as a part of it, although they will both be a part of your paper.

· Topic No’s—no abortion, no capital punishment, no legalization of marijuana, no gun control, no “birther” theories, no gay marriage

· Please be original and “fresh”—and keep always in mind the value of effective expression and development of ideas.

Hey Ms. krystlbrrws;

How are you doing? This will be the last essay that I will have to do for this class, Thank Goodness…Now there is to be a rough draft to be turned in on May the 4th. I need to know what it means when she asks for 2 sources. Also, could you let me know what kind of articles you would like for me to look up for this essay? I need to look them up in my onefile on our database so I can turn the articles in with the essay.

As per her directions it is to be MLA format and like all the other essays around 650-700 words or 2 pages. Please let me know what you would want me to do after looking over the assignment.

Thanks a lot;
