Essay

Remember, your essay must be typed, double-spaced, in Times or Times New Roman. You must alter your document to have 1 inch margins, and please have your last name and page number in the top right hand corner as per MLA format.

Your introduction, which should end in the thesis statement, should be 4 to 6 sentences long.

Your body paragraphs, of which you should have at LEAST 3, should all be 4 to 6 sentences long.

Your conclusion, which should begin with a revised thesis, should be 4 to 6 sentences long.

As such, your essay will be at LEAST one page. Submissions that are shorter than a page stand little chance of earning a good grade.

Keep in mind, the topics of each paragraph are already given to you in the thesis statement, and therefore, all you must do is fill in the blanks.
