In your essay,go beyond the five-paragraph essay format by offering a unified thesis that synthesizes your sources to make a single main point (whose key word or phrase will repeat in your topic sentences), and include the following:
* An attention-grabbing introduction that ends with your thesis statement, which centers on a cause of the problem
* An analysis of the problem’s cause you have chosen as your focus
* A strong conclusion
4. Reference at least three outside sourcesin your paper.
You may cite the source provided in topic’s introductory page description page, along with the sources you find on your own.
