Perfect MILA double-spaced
Must have at least 5 outside sources with 2 being multimedia. This would include a podcast, video, song, graph, picture, etc. SOURCE MUST BE PERFECTLY FORMATTED IN MLA AND EACH SOURCE IN THE WORK CITED MUST BE USED AND CITED IN THE PAPER.
This is a general measure of what you need for each paragraph. Now, REMEMBER, after doing your annotated bibliography you should have adequate knowledge of your topic. It is time to move forward with the rest of the essay.
Graded Parts:
1. Annotated bibliography 50 points Dropbox
2. Introduction and three body paragraphs 50 points
3. Rough Draft printed out with three copies 50 points
4. Conference bring NEWLY REVISED FULL Draft to conference points (no class that week) 50
5. FINAL ESSAY w/reflective essay (portfolio) 200 points Turned in online
Notice the entire project is worth a combined 400 points. 200 of these points could be an A just by sticking to the dates!
INTRODUCTION:
Should be 1-2 paragraphs with the following:
-You must have a direct quotation, and I suggest a possible story, question, or other topic of interest. A HOOK! WRITE THE PAPER THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO READ!
-State what the problem is (your “why” question.) Why should we care about the topic? Think about this question throughout and keep reminding your audience. there some background/history we need to know?

SPECIFIC Thesis statement
BODY PARAGRAPHS/sections (Sometimes these paragraphs may actually be 2-3 paragraphs working together in what I call a section)
Each body paragraph/section should have at least the following progression:
1. Topic sentence
2. Make your point and summarize support
3. Provide support in the form of either a direct quotation, summary, or paraphrase. Remember, YOU MUST HAVE AN IN-TEXT CITATION IF THE AUTHOR ISN’T MENTIONED IN THE SENTENCE. YOU MIGHT ALSO WANT TO COMMENT ON WHO THE AUTHOR IS AND WHERE THE INFORMATION CAME FROM FOR FURTHER CREDIBILITY.
4. Build a bridge between your point and the support and explain the connection
5. Conclude AND provide a transition to the next paragraph by, again, building a “content” bridge that mentions or alludes to the next thing you will talk about.
You should have at least three of these paragraphs/sections.
COUNTERARGUMENT
One paragraph/section (it can be anywhere in the body-you decide what is most effective) should address the other side of the issue. Basically, think about it this way… If I feel this way, why do the other feel the opposite? Acknowledge an understand of their view, but then explain that even though you understand, here is why you still hold true to your thesis.
CONCLUSION/section 1-2 paragraphs
-Return to your main points AND again, offer a powerful quotation/attention getter that makes a lasting impression.
– end with one or two of the following: A call to action; speculate on the future; is your topic part of a larger issue or concern that needs to be addressed?;

WORK CITED
You need to have at least 5 sources in perfectly formatted MLA. If you only have a web address you will lose a lot of points! Each source must appear in your essay and have an in-text citation. TWO of these sources should be multimedia. Finally, a peek at the REFLECTIVE ESSAY. Clearly this is the last thing you will write because it reflects on the entire research process.
The point of the reflective letter is just that: REFLECT on the process of RESEARCH in this class. You will need the following
• Clear attention getter in the intro.
• At least 2 supporting paragraphs addressing your experiences writing a research essay with examples from research and your writing.
• At least 3 instances of direct support (this is you being specific) from your research that supports your claims
• A conclusion that addresses how this process will affect you beyond the class.
You do not get a grade on this alone, it is graded as an element in the final portfolio. It is worth 50 points out of the entire 250 points in the portfolio. As far as a general rubric for everything, here you go! Use this to self-assess.
