You will also need to determine objections that readers may have about your position and address those as well. Write a minimum 250 word essay focused on your position. You may select the same topic as you have opted for in your College English I course or you can pick something of your own. Your paper must include: A clear thesis statement placed as the final sentence in the introductory paragraph. A topic sentence placed as the first sentence of the paper. Two quotes or paraphrases from your sources that support your thesis statement. A minimum of two outside sources that support and object to your argument. End with a conclusion that restates your thesis.
