Make sure you fulfill instructions 1-5 below, no matter which of the essay pairs you choose to write about:
Write an essay that is fully developed. You may use either the Toulmin or Rogerian model to structure your argument. It must have a thoughtful introduction, a clear thesis statement, a well-developed body, and a conclusion that does more than repeat the thesis. Above all, the paper must have something of value to “say” on the topic. The topic you choose will determine how you should organize the paper.
Include at least one carefully chosen, properly introduced and terminated quotation from each essay in the prompt; integration of source material must apply the concept of full attribution as learned this semester.
Include at least one carefully chosen paraphrase as well, also applying the concept of full citation, from each essay. This will equal a total of four (4) minimum in-text citations.
Apply MLA style to format the paper and prepare a Work Cited page.
Apply the rules of Standard English and proper mechanics. Use appropriate academic tone; while limited use of first person is allowed, second person is not (Do not use you or your; do not use commands, or the first-plural “we” voice).
