Your paper should be at least 500 words of your own content, but no more than 650 words.
Your paper should be in your own voice. You achieve this by using your own words to convey information and your thoughts, and you paraphrase the texts/sources instead of using quotes to make your points.

Don’t include my question(s) in your paper.
You don’t need transition sentences between paragraphs.
Your paper must be formatted in MLA style. Watch the video on how to set up your Word file correctly.
You don’t need a Works Cited page.
You MUST submit your work as a Microsoft Word file attachment. No exceptions. Save your work as a Word file, and then upload that file to this assignment. (I cannot grade files that are not in Word file format because they don’t display in Blackboard.)
