Instructions:

Combine all of your paragraphs into the complete essay: Introduction (thesis), Design Analysis, Research/Context, Rhetorical Analysis (appeals and impact), and Conclusion.

NOTE:

1.) Only the first page will have the date, your name, the teacher’s name, and the class.

2.) Only the first page will have an “essay title” and an information sentence including the name of the “graphic”, the creator, and the year (introduction paragraph).

3.) Every page will have a heading: your last name and the page, and all text will be DOUBLE-SPACED.

4.) No Works Cited will be required, but an (intext citation) is required beside the research (quote or paraphrase) that you used in the paper (to avoid plagiarism!!). SEE Module 10/07.

5.) If paragraphs that were to be REVISED are not revised, this will be a major deduction of the essay grade. If the paragraphs in the essay are much improved, up to 50 extra credit points may be awarded.
