You should have five paragraphs: one introductory paragraph with a thesis and three-part plan as the last sentence; three body paragraphs, each focusing on a single point/example, and each one beginning with a clear topic sentence; and one concluding paragraph. You’ll want to come up with a strong thesis and outline to help you with writing your paper.

Although we are doing grammar review during this course, you should already have mastered basic grammar and sentence structure and be able to show this in your essay. Proofread carefully.

Here are the formatting guidelines for this and every essay:

After you select a topic, email me your proposed thesis statement.
