Argument Essay for English due tonight. 1000 words.

In this section, you will write a complete rough draft of the essay. Be sure to use the essay
writing skills you’ve developed throughout the quarter as you construct this essay. Remember
that this essay should use at least three sources and be about 1000 words long, and keep in
mind that this should NOT be an essay that focuses on your personal perspective (limit your use
of “I”), nor should it simply be a review/summary of the sources you’ve found. To properly
complete the draft, consider the following steps:
• With the benefit of all your research, reconsider and clarify your working thesis statement.
• Reconsider and revise your outline, to make certain that your organization of information will
effectively prove your thesis statement.
• Draft topic sentences and body paragraphs for each section in your outline. Make sure that
each paragraph has a topic sentence and an appropriate amount of supporting detail from
your sources. Consider whether the detail in each paragraph relates to the main point of the
paragraph. Remember, your paragraphs should be unified, developed, and coherent, and
have strong topic sentences.
• Incorporate your sources by using quotations and paraphrasing your sources in each
paragraph. You must cite your sources each time you quote or refer to information in them.
Each reference listed should have at least one corresponding in-text citation.
• Write an appropriate introduction, conclusion, and title for your essay. Your introductory
section should introduce your reader to the topic and include your thesis statement. Your
conclusion should restate your thesis and your main points.
• Finally, add a title that indicates the main idea of the essay, without restating your thesis
statement.
• This essay should be roughly 1000 words in length.
