All essays should be 800-1000 words in a size 14 font; at least 5 paragraphs, all of which are approximately the same length; have a clear and specific thesis statement within a fully developed introduction; have specific and relevant details which demonstrate and prove the thesis statement; an absence of grammar and sentence errors (proofreading/editing is a MUST–no exceptions); correct format (MLA–see sample essays on pages 21-30 of your textbook). It should also be noted that you will often need to quote from text to support your assertions or examples. I will be expecting to see a minimum of 3 quotes in each essay. The sample essays will show you how to use quotes and document them correctly. There are also examples in your textbook on those same pages of how to do a works cited page. USE THESE RESOURCES!
