    Writing Instructions
    In this assignment, each student will utilize each of the RA worksheets to write the 5-paragraph essay (introduction, 3+ body/analysis paragraphs, and conclusion) and revise according to the feedback in order to submit an analytical essay of at least 1,000 words (approximately 3 pages) that closely criticizes a scholarly article.
    Remember, in academic essays, do not use contractions or the personal pronouns: you, your, our, we, us. Also, since this is not a personal narrative essay, 3rd person-pronouns should generally be used.
    Each essay needs an introduction to the topic, article, and author (5+ sentences); body paragraphs that provide analytical support for the essay’s thesis (what the essay claims or argues about the scholarly article); and a conclusion of 5+ well-written sentences (body paragraphs will need to be approximately 7-10 sentences to meet requirements).
    Each essay is required to correctly utilize MLA formatting and citation guidelines with at least 1 direct quote or paraphrase from the article in each of the body paragraphs (no quotes or paraphrases in the introduction or conclusion). Paraphrases and quotations should fit within the frame and context of the paragraph and properly cited; quotes should also be introduced with a lead-in phrase.
    Each essay should be accompanied by an MLA “Work Cited” page that is properly formatted (this is the last page of the essay document).
    Criteria
    Each essay should adhere to the following requirements:
    Introduction: introduces the general topic, article title, and author with the author’s credentials; clearly ends by stating an arguable claim/thesis without using any direct paraphrases or quotes from the source.
    Analysis & Organization: 3+ paragraphs that give clear and accurate supporting claims by analyzing the parts of the article’s argument and offer logical, supportive reasoning with each paragraph addressing the concerns of one main point or focused area; Paragraphs are constructed in a logical manner and adhere to standards of paragraph structure with topic, supporting detail, and concluding sentences.
    Conclusion: restates/rewords thesis, summarizes points, proposes a solution, course of action, a new way to approach the topic, or global concerns related to the topic without using any direct paraphrases or quotes from the source.
    Citations: The single scholarly article is correctly formatted on a Work Cited (MLA) page and used appropriately throughout the body paragraphs to support the analysis with at least 3 direct quotes or paraphrases; direct quotes are smoothly integrated into the paragraphs with lead-in phrases and both paraphrases and quotations end in a correct MLA in-text citation.
    Formatting: 1,000+ words (approximately 3 pages) that are appropriately formatted in MLA (Times New Roman, 12-point font, black ink, and double-spaced without extra spacing) with recurring header and pagination, required heading, and a creative title.
    Grammar, Mechanics, & Style: Sentences are clear, complete, and of varying lengths; correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation, with very few or no errors and an appropriate tone with use of academic language and vocabulary
