1. Use at least 4 academic resources
2. Your paper should have:

A clear introduction
A body (in which you flesh out your analysis of rhetoric, audience, artifact, and context)
A conclusion (in which you summarize your argument and findings and “open” the paper to consideration of broader themes).

3. “introductory paragraph.” It must introduce the topic, state the main argument of the paper, set forth the plan by which the paper unfolds, and state the paper’s conclusion. In brief, after having read the first paragraph, your reader should know precisely what the paper is about, its main claims, how it unfolds, and where it will end up.
