Your essay should contain the following: an introduction, at least four body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Focus on developing each body paragraph with plenty of details and explanations to make your argument convincing. Four body paragraphs means that you need to make four points supporting your statement.
• Begin your essay with appropriate background information about the source essays.
Your introduction should draw your readers in and lead them smoothly to your statement. In the introduction, mention the authors by full name and state the titles of the readings. Include a very brief summary of each reading.
• Explain your ideas adequately. Simply listing points is not enough. They must be explained. Include material from at least one reading in each body paragraph.
• Organize your essay. Well-developed, unified, coherent body paragraphs should directly
support your article. Each body paragraph should begin with a topic sentence.
