– Structure is in sections as determined by your Building Plan.
– Genre is determined by its effectiveness for your chosen audience (research essay, PowerPoint essay, documentary, etc.).
Length is determined by the genre, but should be equal to approximately 8-12 pages of written text.
– Tone is likely formal (no “I” or “you”) though could be semiformal depending on the audience. First person plurals are allowed.
– Research is used from 15-20 sources in a variety of methods–some quotes, some paraphrases, some combinations, some with signal phrases, some without. All sources are cited properly, both in-text and on a bibliographic page, named according to the documentation system used. Nontraditional genres will cite appropriately.
