Q Engagement in the writing process. Your research and drafts will count as homework points. 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: 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). 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: header on first page and your last name and page number in the top right of all subsequent pages Double spaced, 12-point font; Times New Roman, Garamond, Arial, or Calibri font
