Give your position on your candidate’s position and make a recommendation.
Explain why your recommendation is the most logical one based on what we know about the problem
Explain why your recommendation will be better (more effective, more practical, or both) than other recommendations.
Begin paragraphs with clear, assertive statements—don’t begin paragraphs with a summary of the author.
Try to include a citation in every paragraph, unless that paragraph is clearly responding to a summary in the previous paragraph.
When summarizing a source, don’t go more than two sentences without a citation.
Don’t mix summary and response—if you respond to a source in the same paragraph as your summary, finish your summary before beginning your response.
Include at least 2 scholarly articles and at least 3 sources in this section (your research essay should have 7 sources total/at least 4 scholarly articles)
For your Works Cited page, include all of your sources for the research essay (at least 7/at least 4 scholarly articles).
