The essay should aim to convince the reader through reasonable and emotional appeals to share or appreciate your position on a two-sided social issue. The essay must include three significant, relevant, and distinct reasons supporting your stance. You may select a topic from the provided list or choose your own, but topic approval is required if chosen independently.

The essay must incorporate one reputable periodical article (journal, magazine, or newspaper), authored by a credible source, not exceeding five pages. Use library databases—not Google—to find your article. The essay should contain two paraphrases and two quotes from this source, highlighted and numbered (1-4). Internal quotes are not allowed. Highlighted sections of the article used in the essay must be submitted with the assignment, with no other highlights on the document.

All paraphrases and quotes must be integrated smoothly, with proper introduction, and altered as needed; a Works Cited page is not required, but accurate citation and citation style are expected. The essay should follow the specific formatting guidelines: typed on 8 ½” x 11” paper, double-spaced, possibly double-sided, with 1 to 1.5-inch margins, numbered pages in the upper-right corner (excluding the Title page), and Stapled in the top-left corner. The first page of the essay itself should not be numbered, but the title page should contain the essay title, course info, instructor’s name, your name, and date, without a page number.

Paper For Above instruction

The structure of the essay must consist of five paragraphs: an introduction, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion. The introduction should clearly state your position on the issue, including a concise thesis statement. Each body paragraph should develop one of your three main reasons with supporting evidence, including paraphrases and quotes from your chosen source. Use formal academic language throughout, avoiding slang, contractions, colloquialisms, and clichés.

In the conclusion, restate your thesis and briefly summarize your supporting reasons, emphasizing the importance of your position. All sources should be introduced and integrated properly, with a focus on coherence and logical flow. Proper citation, paraphrasing, and quoting techniques should be employed to avoid plagiarism and demonstrate mastery of source integration. The overall tone should be formal, academic, and persuasive, targeting an informed audience.
