~ Each prompt is it’s own essay so it needs to be 2.5 pages each it’s all on one document ~
This means that when there are two prompts, you should have two separate essays, 2.5-3 pages in length, for a total of 5-6 pages. Papers should be written in essay format (short introduction, body paragraphs, and short conclusion). These papers will require you to use in-text citations to back up your argument. In-text citations should follow APA or ASA style-guide and include Author(s) and year. You MUST cite when quoting (with page #s), paraphrasing, or using someone else’s idea. Grading for the Analytical Papers will be done as they are submitted.
