2. These sources will be cited both in a WORKS CITED page at end of the paper AND as parenthetical documentation within the confines of the paper itself.
3. The Works Cited sources should be formatted as either MLA or APA citations (including the source text).
4. Sources should ALSO be introduced through "narrative attribution."
5. There should be a central thesis that evinces your opinion on the given prompt.
6. There should be a divisive, hooky introduction.
7. The paper should be free of the type of grammatical, mechanical errors in grammar and construction discussed through the course of the year (i.e. second person, passive voice, parallelism errors, verb tense errors).
