Assignment Info: Length- 3-4 pages (,000-,200 words) Format: MLA Times new Roman 2 Point font, double-spaced. Number of sources (in addition to your text) two – cited both in the text and in a works cited page. Assignment Details: Once you’ve chosen your topic (Listed in Summary), choose two of the works we’ve read so far this semester. Decide what you’d like to say about the topic you chose, and look for specifics in your sample text. Look in the library databases for serious, scholarly sources about your topic and your sample text. This means no Wikipedia, Course Hero or other sites that are not scholarly. Once you’ve found sources, you’ll need to work on integrating them into your sentences and ideas. Be sure you cite them properly in-text and in a Works Cited page. In your essay, you’ll need a strong introduction, a

thesis that makes your point, and a good conclusion to wrap up the ideas. Remember, when you use your sources, avoid long quotes. You are better off using shorter sections of the text and thoroughly explaining them than relying on a large block of text that you don’t have time to explain in your paper. You will be using TurnItIn, which will give you a report on how you’ve used sources. I will expect you to have close to 20 percent in that report, though I will check. In addition, TurnItIn will show me whether you have used a source without mentioning it. That will cause you to fail, so avoid that. If your paper results in an A.I. report of more than 20% A.I. generated content and you have not cited it as a source, you will not pass the paper. Be sure and avoid all sites and software that could be considered A.I., including grammar sites. If you have questions, be sure and ask me!
