Q • 1500-1750 words (6-7 pages) (2250 word max!). This is the longest essay you will write in ENGL 105 this semester; you’ve got this! • If you reuse writing from a previous essay from my class or another previous class, those reused words will not count in your word count. • At least six outside sources: o At least three articles from the library databases (Each source must have a minimum 1000 words or 2 pages, be up-to-date, reliable, originally in English, and not Wikipedia). o One of the six sources could be Gladwell or Miller. • All evidence (quotes, paraphrases, and summaries) must be cited using MLA format for both in-text and reference citations. • Each paragraph must have specific, concrete examples to illustrate your points. Quotes should be introduced with signal phrases/reporting verbs and be in a “fat synthesis sandwich.” • Clear thesis statement, TEA paragraphs, introductory hook, and well-thought-out conclusion • Works Cited at the end of the essay (on its own page) • MLA formatting: o header on first page and your last name and page number in the top right of all subsequent pages o Double spaced, 12-point font; Times New Roman, Garamond, Arial, or Calibri font
