font/double-spaced3. Must be focused and original4. Considers opposing viewpoints

I suggest using one of the topics we used in Writing Assignment 4 to center your paper
around, you are welcome to come up with your own topic, as long as it meets the
requirements above.Special Notes:Anything less than 750 words (749 and below) will
receive a “0 – F” for not meeting the minimum requirements.Do not plagiarize. If you use a
source, it must be electronic and you must make sure it is cited somehow in the paper. I
suggest that if you do not use the MLA format we will be using later in the semester, then
you use a parenthetical after the quotation or paraphrase with the last name of the author
of the piece you are using in the body of the paper along with the web address as a work
cited OR the web address after the quotation/paraphrase.Example:“It’s never enough to just
put information in the paper” (Lastname). –IN PAPERWork Cited
Lastname (www.website.com) –AT END OF
PAPERORYou have to cite when you paraphrase (www.website.com).
