• The essay should be in proper format and be comprised of a well-developed argument or comprehensive answer to the question.
• Use the traditional fiee paragraph essay format, where you have a well-defined thesis that outlines the main points of your paper. Each of the points listed in your thesis should have its own paragraph in the body of the essay. The last paragraph is the conclusion where you will summarize what you have written. Do not introduce anything new in the last conclusion paragraph.
• You should only use your textbook, no outside resources should be consulted.
