InstructionTopics: • Select a topic from the list below. The essay must be a new one, not a portion or an entire paper that you wrote for a previous class. You also should not copy part or all of a paper that someone else wrote. What causes some students to drop out of high school? (THIS IS THE TOPIC I PICKED) Content: All of your body paragraphs should focus on causes OR on effects. Do not try to cover both causes and effects in the body paragraphs of your essay because your essay will not have a clear focus and a main idea. You are not required to use research in this paper. You may choose to do so, however. If you do, you must use MLA parenthetical citations to document the information within the paper (when you quote or paraphrase) and include a Works Cited page. If you incorporate information from a source and do not document it, you have plagiarized, which means the paper automatically receives a failing grade. Length Requirement: • The essay should consist of an introductory paragraph, 2 to 4 body paragraphs, and a concluding paragraph. The essay should be 4, 5, or 6 total paragraphs. One of the main concepts that I want you to get from this class is that an essay does not have to be 5 paragraphs. It can be 4, 5, 6, 7. . . paragraphs. The essay must be two to four full pages. You must have at least two, all the way down to the bottom, full pages. Less than this amount will negatively impact your grade. MLA Manuscript Directions: (look at the document titled Example Essay with MLA Formatting in the Week 3 module to see what the following information should look like in your essay) • The margins should be 1” for top, bottom, left, and right. Word processing programs automatically set the margins at 1". • Type in Times New Roman 12 font. • Double-space. • In the upper right-hand corner of the first page, create a header and insert the page number in the upper right-hand corner (choose the Plain Number 3 option). Before the page number, type your last name and skip a space. Right align this information. Close the header. Now your last name and the page # will appear on each page. • Make sure that you have closed the header. In the upper left-hand corner of the first page, put the following information on separate lines: your name, Mrs. Shue, English 1101, and the date the paper is due. Double-space this information. This information appears only on the first page of the paper. • Double-space the rest of your paper. • Center and type a title. Change from Center to Left Align. • Type the rest of your paper. THE THESIS MUST BE: Although high school drop out rates have decreased in recent years due to more diversity and inclusion amongst students and a wider variety of career specific curriculums being offered, teenage kids still drop out of high school for reasons such as bullying, emotional trouble, and discrimination.
