follow the following format: By applying principle (or definition) X, one can understand (topic)

The body paragraphs thoroughly develop the analysis in a systematic manner, answers the So
What? question, and provides more than just a summary. The following components of a
classical argument can be addressed: structure, persuasive appeals, origin of argument questions,
rational or pseudo argument components, and claims supported by reasons.
The conclusion contains a summary of the analysis and all essential elements of a well-written
conclusion. A larger point is made.
MLA format must be followed. The source must be properly cited in-text and on a works cited
page. At least one in-text citation must include an attributive tag. At least one in-text citation
must be basic and include correct parenthetical information. Plagiarism is avoided.

topics already covered in class. More than ten grammatical errors will result in no grade.
