you should present an objective, academic discussion of your topic, which means that it should contain no first-person references (“I,” “in my opinion,” etc.), should include liberal documented quotation and reference to sources and should exclude bias as much as possible.
Not counting the works cited page, the essay itself should be a minimum of six double-spaced pages in length using 12-point font and standard MS Word margins, and you must include a minimum of four outside sources in this piece.
A good acronym to remember as a guiding principle for your body paragraphs in this essay is PIE, which stands for:
Point – the point is yours, the main message that you want to convey in that given paragraph; it should be communicated in a topic sentence somewhere very close to the beginning of the paragraph – most often, in the first sentence.
Information – this is relevant source material that you introduce to help develop, support and/or prove your point; it must be cited properly regardless of whether it is quoted, paraphrased or summarized.
Explanation – at the end of essentially every body paragraph, you should be connecting the information that you supplied back to the point, the main idea, of that paragraph – and even back to the thesis as well. This is what is meant by explanation; you are explaining how the information ties in and helps prove your case.
