Document Summary

Always make a works cited page for each assignment/essay in this course. Common knowledge does not need to be cited: the sky is blue, date wwii started/ended. It sums up the main point/argument of the essay. Contains : context, contestable claim, specifies how claims will be supported (briefly) The specifics state what the main body paragraphs will cover. In this essay i argue that is a good way to begin because it eliminates any confusion that the reader may have. May use i in the introduction and conclusion in this course. Do not use i believe or i feel because they are redundant makes the author sound like they lack confidence. Usually need an introductory paragraph, 2-4 body paragraphs, and then a concluding paragraph. Need to tell the reader what you are going to argue and how by the end of the introduction.
