1. A personal summary of your essay, in a narrative form, in your own words, is to be presented at the top of your essay, making it the first paragraph that I read. This can be very short, but must summarize your entire essay. Consider it a condensed version of your essay.
2. Your essay must: (a) list the question and (b) present your research, as well as your conclusions. These essays are not opinion works, so, if necessary, you may cut and paste materials from the web to substantiate and detail your research. Be sure to include sources either with the materials, or at the end of the paper.
