Q The final Cause/Effect paper is due November 16th at 9:00 a.m. I advise not using a Google.doc because it is prone to realigning spacing. This will affect your Works Cited page and the hanging indent. 1. Please look over the Peer Edit responses. Make any changes necessary. - Remember, you are the author. If a partner points out a misspelled word or POV slip, make the change. However, if someone suggests removing a comma, and you believe the comma is correct, trust your own judgement. 2. After making revisions, set the paper aside for a few hours or a day, then go over it one more time. - This is a 5-paragraph essay - No first or second-person POV should be used (except in a direct quote from a source). INTRODUCTION - The introduction should be no longer than 100 words - Check that the final sentence in the introduction is a strong thesis of three BODY PARAGRAPHS - Check that the first body paragraph has a topic sentence that refers back to your first focus - Make sure that this body paragraph is between 4 and 6 sentences - If you have an in-text citation, make sure it is only 1-2 words, does not have have a date, and remember a source cannot be both italicized and in quotation marks - Make sure the 2nd and 3rd body paragraphs follow the yellow highlighted suggestions, too CONCLUSION - Reread your brief conclusion. Did you restate the thesis and add one new piece of information? 3. The essay is worth 75 points. When you upload your essay, it will go into a program called Turnitin. Turn it is helps located originality. Remember, more than six words in a row, from a source, most likely needs citation. WORKS CITED PAGE 4. On the Works Cited page, I will be looking at - Completion of source (author (if there is one), article/title, publisher, date published (or n.d.), url, and Accessed on date. - Double spaced - Hanging indent - Something italicized unless interview - At least three sources (one for each body paragraph) 5. The Works Cited page is worth 25 points. Anyone who turns their paper in before Friday at 5:00 p.m., I will let your know your compatibility score.
