Assignment Task:
Directions: Select a topic from the list below for your research essay, and write a sentence outline. Make sure the outline is aligned and structured as the example below. Everything that you write must be a complete sentence. There should only be one sentence besides an alphabet for a total of five sentences only. Choose one of the writing prompts below. Please do not revise writing prompts. Use the exact prompt as the title. Do not change the topic in any way. These are topics that you have already written on, so you may pull from your previous essay or start anew.. Remember, the outline is the foundation for the research paper; therefore make sure that you have a sound thesis and topic sentences to support the thesis. The assignment is a brief outline. You will further develop the thesis in the research paper. Follow MLA Guidelines when completing this assignment. This assignment should be completed in MS Word and uploaded.
Make sure that you do not plagiarize. There should not be any sources in the outline. Every sentence should be yours. The system will flag any writings taken from a source. If there is any percentage, there will be major deductions.
