Please take whatever feedback you receive about how well you did synthesizing sources into your Flash Research Essay and revise it accordingly, correcting any errors and maintaining the right balance between ideas from your research and your own ideas.
Your final draft should be at least 500 words in length. This Flash Essay is an opportunity for you to practice the skills needed to write a successful research essay. Therefore, the expectations for this essay are not going to be as high as they will be for the final draft of your research essay, and the rubric for assessing this essay is, correspondingly, less demanding.
Create a brief and interesting introduction.
Make a claim (have a thesis—your answer to the inquiry question).
Offer an answer to your inquiry question, which is your own clear take on what answer is best supported by the excerpts only. Your answer should be based on at least two (2) appropriately cited sources that support your take and you should not merely pass along an answer given by your sources without analysis, commentary, evaluation, or personal observation from you.
Incorporate at least two (2) of the excerpts, including at least one (1) summary/paraphrase and one (1) quotation. Use ONLY the four excerpts provided in writing this essay.
Incorporate your sources correctly,
Follow the rules for APA,
Include introductory tags for your quotes, and
Put a parenthetical citation after borrowed material with the last name of the excerpt’s author and the year in which the work that is excerpted was published (Wilson, 1993). (No page or paragraph numbers are needed)
Create a brief, satisfying conclusion.
Do NOT include a References page.
