Definition Essay instructions below (I ATTACHED A SNIP IT OF THE INSTRUCTIONS AS WELL TO BETTER CLARIFY)
For this essay, you are going to write a 3-page (minimum) essay defining a concept that people often interpret differently. The idea is to not just present a simple definition, but to construct a well-thought definition supported by research. Choose ONE of the following concepts to define:
- Beauty
- Freedom
- Love
- Loyalty
- Success
- Integrity
- Courage
Requirements:
- Thesis: Develop a thesis statement that clearly states your concept and presents the definition you will be explaining in your essay.
- Evidence: Support your thesis with a substantial number of summaries/quotes/paraphrases from three credible sources (minimum). Meaning, avoid using a one- to two- sentence stand-alone quote from each of your sources. Show mastery of your sources and be sure to integrate them fully into your essay with sufficient evidence. Make sure it is also clear how each piece of evidence illustrates your points and supports your thesis.
- In-text Citations: Make sure to include an MLA parenthetical citation after each source reference throughout your essay, as well as signal phrases such as “According to the [author/article/etc.] …” to establish credibility when introducing your evidence.
- Structure: Organize your essay with a clear introduction (providing background/context and presenting your thesis statement; avoid including analytical evidence in the introduction), body paragraphs that expand on your thesis (each paragraph should present a clear topic and include supporting details and analysis), and a conclusion that restates your thesis and reflects on your overall analysis without introducing new information.
- Length: 3-5 pages (3 full pages minimum), double-spaced
- Works Cited Page (next page after the essay): MLA-style Works Cited page featuring your three sources (minimum), listed in alphabetical order. Make sure this page follows MLA format like the rest of your essay, but with hanging indentation for each source listed. Also, make sure to remove the hyperlink so your links are not clickable.
- MLA Format: Times New Roman size 12-point font, double-spaced (with no extra spaces either before or after any paragraphs/headings), 1″ margins all around, proper MLA heading with last name and page number in document Header (see template in previous assignments), each new paragraph indented properly, left-aligned text for essay, etc.
- Grammar and Mechanics: Revise your work for errors in grammar and mechanics. You can utilize the Editor feature on your word processor as well as having me and/or a tutor review your writing. There should be minimal to no errors in your final draft. Your work must also be written in third person with no contractions.
