**An idea has already been chosen, but this is the information, disregard the topics because one has already been chosen**
For this essay, your FINAL TERM PAPER you need these:
5 – 7 pages
5 – 7 sources
5 – 7 in text citations
MLA
Thesis sentence with the word(s) “SHOULD” or “SHOULD NOT” included.
It also needs to be a proposal of ADVOCACY FOR CHANGE, meaning: your topic needs to be something that you want to change in society. There are many things going on in this world that you might not be happy with, and you want to change it.
Something SHOULD change!
Here are a few topics:
- GMO
- Recycling
- Whitewashing in the media <– just Google it
- Female abuse in the military
- Water conservation
- Smoking
- Childhood Obesity
- The drinking age
Those are just some ideas. You can choose what ever you want, as long as it has to do with something that you feel strongly about, that you want to change.
MAKE SURE THAT YOUR MLA WORK CITED PAGE IS CORRECT. You need to have the source at the end of each sentence that you use someone else’s words. Even if you state their name in the beginning of the sentence:
According to CNN.COM, “Researchers asked nine previously sedentary young men to do one total minute of high-intensity cycling on a stationary bike three times a week for 12 weeks” (Stores).
Just a reminder: In text citation (author page number) or (author) or (“Title of article”) <— no punctuation in any of those
and the Works Cited page has the title of Works Cited, it is double spaced, no numbered sources, hanging indent (indent the 2nd and 3rd lines – not the first line), and it is alphabetized by author and/or title.

- MLA <— if your MLA is incorrect, your essay will go down a full grade – IF I FIND MORE THAN FOUR MLA ERRORS
- This is in all three points of view (1st – I want this to change) (2nd – you need to make this change) (3rd – all of the background and research information)
