English and Literature


Paper instructions:
Your paper should present a reasoned, convincing argument for a position on a selected topic.

Write a 4-6 page paper in which you:
1. Follow the five steps of persuasion: establishing credibility, acknowledging the
audience‘s position, constructing a rationale, transplanting root elements, and asking for a
response.
2. Clearly define your position and supporting evidence, including the results of your
survey.
3. Include all the necessary ―evidence‖ for the reader to reach the expected conclusion in
each argument in the paper (whether the overriding argument or one contained in an
individual paragraph)
4. Ensure that each argument in the paper (whether the overriding argument or one
contained in an individual paragraph) is valid and free from both formal and informal
fallacies.
5. Include at least four (4) references (sources). At least one (1) of your sources must be
obtained from the collection of databases accessible from the Learning Resources Center
Web page.

The paper should follow guidelines for clear and effectively organized writing:
 The paper is well-organized, and every explanation is both complete and easy to
understand.
 Include an introductory paragraph and concluding paragraph for the paper.
 Main ideas should be addressed in body paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting
sentences.
 Adhere to standard rules of English grammar, punctuation, and mechanics.
 The paper should be checked for spelling and grammatical errors.

Your assignment must:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins
on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check
with your professor for any additional instructions.
 Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student‘s name, the
professor‘s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are
not included in the required assignment page length.
