Note that it is possible to earn a B on this homework by using only six sources, including three scholarly journal articles. To earn an A will require an additional two sources.
As you write your paper, be sure to include the following:
• an introductory paragraph that includes your thesis statement. The introduction is meant to engage your readers and orient them to the topic, and the thesis statement should clearly state your position or central claim to be supported in the body of your paper.
• any definition of terms or background information that your reader is likely to need to understand your paper
• focused body paragraphs that begin with topic sentences and use transitions as needed. This is where you will support the thesis using arguments and evidence. Use the sentence outline you developed in class to guide you.
• a concluding paragraph that reiterates the thesis, summarizes key points of the paper, and leaves the reader with the "So what?"
