INSTRUCTIONS:
Include the following elements.
Thesis Statement: State in the first sentence what your position is and how you will support it.
Readings/Materials: Cite the readings mentioned in the prompts. To use theoretical readings, you must either paraphrase or quote directly from your sources and cite the sources with [(author last name, page number(s))], for example (Bruno, 185). To cite films, just use the title in italics, for example Blade Runner. For science fiction readings, use the title in italics and page number (if applicable), for example Dawn (102). Listing references cited at the end is not necessary.
Grammar and Writing: Please proofread your essay before submitting it. Check for misspellings. Make sure your writing sounds good to your ear. Read it back to yourself out loud. Asking someone else (who is not a classmate) to read it is also a good idea.
Clear Organization/Clarity of Argument: Structure your Short Essay with an introductory paragraph, a body of four or five paragraphs, and a concluding paragraph.
Your essay should be narrowly focused on the prompt. Do not get off topic—the essay is too short to tack back and forth between various topics in any depth. Answer the question in the prompt with thorough detail.
Conclusion: Make sure you finish the essay by reiterating your main point and reminding your reader how you came to your conclusion. Do not finish with a lengthy or broad conclusion and do not start with a wide-ranging introduction. Get to the point, discuss, and end succinctly.
