I would like the essay to be a rhetorical analysis essay over Rosie the Riveter’s poster “You Can Do It!”
Rhetorical Analysis Essay Requirements:
The essay must follow the proper structure (Thematically, not text by text) Click to View Required Structure (Links to an external site.)
The essay must be in MLA format. (3 things students often forget are to double space the entire essay, indent each new paragraph, and ensure the font is Times New Roman 12pt font)
The paper must be 2 full pages in length (The Works Cited page does not count toward your total).
The essay must have your thesis statement as the last sentence of the introduction.
Each body paragraph must start with a topic sentence (the main idea of the paragraph).
You must use at least 2 sources, one being the work you are analyzing.
You must have MLA format in-text citations when you use quotes, summarize, or paraphrase any ideas from your sources.
You MUST have a Works Cited page on the last page of your essay in MLA format, citing every source you used.
You MUST have direct quotations OR paraphrased/summarized evidence from your sources embedded into your paper. Direct quotations should make up no more than 20% of your essay.
Use ONLY 3rd person voice in your academic writing for this course.
Every idea in your essay should prove the claim made in your thesis statement.
