Your essay MUST contain:
An original/catchy title
A well developed introduction, with a COMPLETE thesis statement (limited subject + your opinion) located at the end of the introduction.
THREE TO FIVE in-text citations that provide EVIDENCE for your claims.
Title/author of texts you are citing (use the articles provided on BlackBoard)
TEA body paragraphs, beginning with clear topic sentences that directly relate to, and support, the thesis statement.
An effective conclusion that draws your essay to a close
Tips:
I have provided you with a variety of articles that are directly related to the topic of community college dropout, so be sure to read ALL of them carefully! Although I’m not requiring you to cite them all, each article contains useful facts, details, and reasons that can help you support your points and claims in your essay. With that said, AVOID UNNECESSARY ARTICLE SUMMARY by paraphrasing key points and directly quoting only when absolutely necessary.
Formatting guidelines: 12 point Times New Roman font, double-spaced, 1 inch margins
