Requirements:
You must:
- cite a minimum of 5 SCHOLARLY sources
- apply MLA in-text and Works Cited formatting
- write 7-10 pages (this does not include the “Works Cited” page)
- use 12-point Times New Roman font, no greater than 1.25’’ margins
- double-space and title your essay.
Important reminders:
1) Your main argument/claim should be easily discernible and come early in your essay, ideally in
paragraph one.
2) Each paragraph should include a topic sentence that summarizes the ideas in the paragraph and
identifies how that information connects to the overall argument/claim.
3) Write transitions to bridge different ideas to ease the reading experience and to appeal to your
audience’s sense of logic.
4) Your essay will essentially be an orchestration of different sources for the purposes of furthering
your own position. Make sure you take time to carefully ANALYZE the material you provide as
evidence each time you offer others’ ideas; this is the “following-up” or “explaining” part of the
integration formula that students often forget. Basically, you need to constantly ask of your ideas,
“so what?” Give us the “so what” or the “this idea is important because…” after each mention of
an outside source.
5) It is important to discuss oppositional perspectives on your topic – ideas that may work against your
own position. Give them their fair due. And then refute their value. If oppositional perspectives are
not available, then you need to discuss the weaknesses of your own position. You might even do
both as a way to strengthen your credibility.
6) Precision and accuracy in citation is required. Do not be sloppy. There are direct examples of MLA
formatting on the Purdue OWL website that you can consult, so you will be held to high standards.
7) You are providing for your audience a sampling of the scholarly conversation you’ve uncovered in
your research, and you are also providing your commentary throughout. We will talk more about
the “They Say, I Say” schema in class.
8) Throughout the composition of your paper, you will take in to consideration the rhetorical appeals,
considering how to best present yourself as informed, competent, and convincing. This directive
means, pay attention to your grammar, syntax, and mechanics. The vaguer you are, the lower your
grade will be.
