ASSIGNMENT:

This essay will take an in-depth look at the modern workplace. What elements of a work

place contribute to maximum productivity, or what elements need to be present to make a workplace

successful?

REQUIREMENTS:

Seven sources, three of which must be from a database and cited as such. Five quotes

are required for this assignment. Each of your points must have, at the very least, one quote to support

it.

1.

Introduction

—Prepare one paragraph that includes an

attention getter, relevant background

information

and a

clear thesis

(in that order). Your relevant information should include enough

information about the subject to explain your stance to a reader who is unfamiliar with the

subject matter. Your thesis should be clear and indicate whether or not you believe the

education system effectively prepares students for the real world or college.

2.

Body Components

Arrange 3-4 body paragraphs with

topic sentences

identifying a

clear

point for each

section. These paragraphs are your evidence to support your thesis statement.

You should use clear topic sentences for each body paragraph and include a quote to

support that topic sentence later in the paragraph.

3.

Rebuttal –

Acknowledge the opposition’s stance. Be brief, but make sure to explain what the

other side believes. Incorporate a quotation that the opposition would use to support their

claim. Be careful not to contradict your stance in this paragraph.

4.

Conclusion—

Write a paragraph that is 5-6 sentences long that immediately restates your thesis,

recaps your three main points and ends with a closing statement.

5.

Works Cited

—You are using three sources, so cite them at the end of the paper in correct MLA

form. An additional page for the works cited is not necessary if the

entire

works cited fits on the

page below your conclusion.

6.

Outline –

An outline should be included on a separate sheet at the

end

of your paper.
