For this assignment, be sure to:
· Follow the appropriate formatting style for your degree program (MLA, APA, or Turabian).
· Use at least five external sources (including relevant readings in your textbook and/or any other sources you might find).
· Use a combination of quotes, summaries, and paraphrases.
· Use signal phrases and proper in-text citations
· Include a References/Works Cited page, which lists all sources you used, including any images. Note: Any images you might use in your essay to support your argument must not take up more than 1/3 of a page (with 1" margins), and they will not count in the total page count for the assignment.
· Conduct your own research. Some website resources are listed in the Reading and Study folder; however, they are just a start.
· Use the Grading Rubric, Outline Suggestions, and Proofreading Checklist to draft and revise your essay.
· Include your thesis statement and outline on a separate page at the end of the document.
· Type your degree program and which style of writing you are using (MLA, APA, or Turabian) in the "Submission Title" field of the SafeAssign link in the module so that your instructor can grade your essay accordingly.

Note: Be sure to cite fully all quotations, summaries, paraphrases, and images. If you fail to give credit for outside material, it will be regarded as plagiarism and will result in a "0" on your paper and possibly course failure.

This assignment must be completed by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday of Module/Week 8.
Proofreading Checklist

PART 1:

Read through your paper and check the appropriate boxes on the chart below. If any area of your paper needs revision, make sure you correct it before submitting your final draft. One of the best ways to proofread your writing is to read it backward to forward, sentence-by-sentence. This helps you to see words and ideas you may have missed. Another very successful tool for proofreading is to read your work out loud to someone else. Students often think that handing their paper to someone and asking them to read it is the same thing, but it isn't. Instead, ask them to listen while you read your own words. You will immediately hear what you missed or want to improve in your writing.
