Write a cause and effect essay that explains the causes and/or effects of a subject of your choice.
Your paper should: have an organized, attention-getting introduction that defines your topic and that includes an underlined thesis statement that clearly identifies not only your topic but also, in order of discussion in the paper, the particular causes and/or effects of this topic that the paper will discuss
have body paragraphs that discuss the topic’s causes and/or effects by following the paper’s thesis statement
be supported throughout with specific examples, details, facts, statistics, and/or anecdotes (documented appropriately, using correct MLA format)
have a conclusion that summarizes the paper’s main points and that discusses why the causes and/or effects presented in the paper are significant. (In other words, explain why a reader should care about the causes and/or effects the paper has discussed.)
Your paper should:
Be about 1,250 words (about 4 to 4 1/2 typed pages) long;
Be typed in font size 12 using Times New Roman as the font style;
Cite from at least four research sources:
At least three of these sources must be scholarly (such as journal articles, books, or government documents),
No more than one of these sources may be popular (such as newspaper or magazine articles),
None of these sources may be an Internet site, and
These sources should come from the library or from the librarys online research databases, not from Internet search engines like Google.
Use correct spelling and grammatical constructions;
Avoid the use of first person (unless it occurs within a direct quotation);
Avoid the use of contractions (unless they occur within a direct quotation);
Avoid the use of second person (unless it occurs within a direct quotation);
Avoid the use of profanity and other potentially offensive subject matter;
Be focused on explaining and informing, not on arguing or persuading; and
Be addressed to an audience unfamiliar with your paper’s topic.
