The Academic Essay Assignment In This Unit Will Be A Written Cohesive

The academic essay assignment in this unit will be a written, cohesive argument for the change in your community that you have been writing about throughout the course. The assignment should take the form of a persuasive academic essay, in which you will provide reliable evidence from at least four sources to support the argument for change that you are advocating. You will also need to address counter-arguments or misconceptions about your topic within the essay, as the ability to do so is a key component of a strong argument. Essentially, the essay will reflect what you have learned about writing effectively, using research, and creating a logical argument to influence an audience.

Paper For Above instruction

Your persuasive essay will need to meet the following criteria: APA 6th Edition format for the document, including an appropriately formatted title page and references page. A thesis statement must be placed at the end of the introduction. Well-developed paragraphs should include evidence from sources to support your argument for a specific change in your community. Four reliable sources should be cited within the text; at least one of these sources should be a book, ebook, or a periodical article, preferably from the Purdue Global Library. All cited sources need full citations on a references page (except for any interviews conducted, which only require in-text citations). The essay should be written in standard English, using a formal tone throughout, and only in the third person point of view. Achieving these criteria should be your main goal for the essay.

A strong and well-supported argument will be at least 3 to 4 pages in length, not including the title and references pages.
