Paper requirements:
The required elements: Your paper should contain the following elements. Specific content for each section was outlined BY YOU in Assignment 3: The Outline. Be sure to incorporate any feedback I gave you on the outline in particular.
- Start with an introduction: this should be 3-5 sentences that summarize the main idea behind your essay. You will identify which topic you selected and make your main point.
- Next you move into the body of your essay. Here you will write 4-5 paragraphs that outline specific evidence supporting your main point. You need at least one paragraph on each of the content sections you identified in your outline. Remember there were 2 required content sections identified in the outline directions: connection with society and underrepresented populations.
- Finally, wrap it all up in a nice conclusion. This will be 3-5 sentences that summarizes your main point and evidence. Do not just repeat your introduction or use exact sentences from your body paragraphs.
- Finish with references in APA formatting. Refer to feedback on your Assignment 2: Annotated Bibliography for any helpful advice on APA formatting.
