4. Be sure to include an introduction, body, and conclusion.
Be sure to support all of your arguments with evidence from the Gaddis and LaFeber readings. Do NOT use any outside sources for your essay. If you feel the need to use an outside source, you must discuss it with me first. Failure to do so will negatively affect your essay grade.
A note about using direct quotes:
Do NOT use a direct quote to make an argument for you. Use a quote to support your argument. A good rule of thumb is to make your argument first and then use the quote after.
NEVER use “Throughout history” or “In my opinion.”
Be sure to proofread your paper before submitting. It can be very helpful to read your paper out loud.
Include page numbers in the top or bottom right corner of your paper.
