Questions and Topics We Can Help You Answering; 

This is your research paper rubric/guidelines/requirements/best buddy.
You all have your specific topic that you are writing about; whatever is of interest to you. Way to go, you just developed your own prompt at the collegiate level! Nicely done.
I have taken you through a staged writing process this semester. First, you chose your topic/prompt and determined why you wanted to write about it. Second, you began work on your bibliography and got a jump start into the research process. Third, you started writing your actual paper (!!!), grounding your research in a solid thesis statement and introductory paragraph. Now, you get to throw up everything you have read, researched, studied, and learned into your final paper. Below are the requirements:
Minimum 5 full pages, no maximum length (~7) – not meeting the minimum page requirement will result in a lower grade.

Double spaced, Times New Roman size 12 font, 1” margins – not following these layout requirements will result in a lower grade.

Page numbers, top right corner of each page (Elwood 1, Elwood 2, etc.)

Title Page (name, date, class name, instructor name, title of research paper – be creative!) – no title page will result in a lower grade.

Works Cited list (15 alphabetized sources, MLA format – you need to add 5 more to your original list, and you may have more than 15 if you need) – lack of MLA citation style will result in a lower grade.

Introductory paragraph with a solid, clear, concise thesis statement – no thesis statement will result in a lower grade.
Proper grammar, punctuation, capitalization, syntax (Tutorial Center!) – poor paper construction will result in a lower grade.

Make sure your paper is fluid and easy to follow. Make your arguments clear and proofread your paper to make sure that it is straightforward and flows nicely – poor paper construction will result in a lower grade.
