Introduction
Informative & Concise
The introduction should be about 7-10 sentences depending on the length of your writing.
Include key definitions to set up the body of your paragraph.
Also include a specific audience or region.
Your thesis should be at the end of the introductory paragraph.
Make sure you have one topic and controlling idea.
Body Paragraph
Focused and Streamlined
There is NO way that you will be able to cover everything that you have researched as this is more of an abstract than a full fledged essay.
This is meant to give your classmates enough information to prepare them for the presentation that you will give in the weeks to come.
Include the KEY elements such as the problem, what movement has been made and accomplishments if any.
Conclusion
Unique and Inconclusive
Normally, an academic essay will use a concluding sentence to restate the key points and the thesis statement.
However, for our purposes, we will use this to discuss the solutions that are being implemented or new targets that have been made.
Research
Up to Date
Generally, you don’t want to go beyond 5 years for research.
Some will only accept 3 years.
If you have a substantial amount of research dating back further than 5 years, you may create a separate works cited page called
“out-of-date reference list.”
Sufficient in Quality and Quantity
Wikipedia should never be included in the Works Cited page.
Ensure you have reliable sources that not only have credibility but show continued efforts and sustainable research moving forward.
You should have more than 3 or 4 sources.
A general target is a minimum of 8 sources.
