[Order Now]

The essay must:

specifically respond to the argument made in the article “have smartphones destroyed a generation?”
present a thesis that either agrees, disagrees, or is of “two minds” with the author’s argument
the essay body must use quotations or paragraphs from “have smartphones…” to discuss and argue the thesis
framing and unpacking quotes in the body will be a good strategy, or plan to preface all quotes for the reader and discuss each quote thoroughly
must use and quote one additional outside source to support the student argument
not just summarize the article “have smartphones…”
but instead make an argument in response to it and include the student’s own viewpoints and opinions
recommend pre-writing with a clustering diagram, listing, or outlining to assess your thoughts and develop your voice
use patterns or organization learned in our course such as comparison and contrast, cause and effect, description, narration, and definition

The essay must include the 250 word self evaluation in the form of one paragraph on a separate page following the works cited page

the running header should continue to this final page

Instances of plagiarism, unsourced copying from web materials, or using a paper from a prior class will result in a grade of zero on this paper

Organization – 20%

The essay must have

an introduction that engages the reader, provides background and context, and presents an arguable thesis (agree, disagree, or both)
i recommend a full cite of “have smartphones…” in the introduction (provide the author’s full name, article title in quotes, and a very brief summary of the article)

Unified body paragraphs that develop the student’s argument in response

each body paragraph should contain a topic sentence
all quotes / paraphrases must have a signal phrase (which is also an mla in-text citation)
use a parenthetical (with the author’s last name only) if you are blending the quote into the syntax of your sentence and the author’s last name is not already in a signal phrase
you would only need to include a page number if the quote from your additional source has page numbers / is scanned (“have smartphones…”) does not have page numbers
quotations or paraphrases should occupy no more than 25 to 30% of a given body paragraph, the remainder should be ‘your voice’ (prefacing quotes with brief summary and signal phrases count as ‘your voice’)
consider writing paragraph-level transitions at the end of body paragraphs to strengthen connections between ideas

The conclusion must

restate the thesis
should only review the contents of the body and not contain new information or source material
close by considering the reader and calling for a specific response (goals of persuasion: change in attitude / change in behavior / call to action / for support)

Format – 15%

Mla

correct mla basic page format with all elements included is required for an a paper
mla in-text citations for all source material
a works cited page showing the main article (““have smartphones…”) and your additional outside source
the works cited page must be formatted correctly to receive an a on the paper, including indenting the citations correctly
i have posted a sample works cited on ‘start here’ that will serve for this paper and the research paper (note that it shows four sample research paper sources).

Grammar – 15%

Grammar, syntax, and tone

significant occurrence of serious grammar concerns such as misspelled words, subject/verb agreement or tense problems, missing words/needed words incomplete sentences, or incomprehensible language will result in a c paper or lower
fragments and run-on sentences are major errors and a significant occurrence of these results in the full -15 deduction
commas should be revised and can result in a -7.5 deduction
wordy writing (see grammar.ccc ‘concise sentences) can result in a deduction
awkward constructions in need of revision can result in a deduction
work to revise and strengthen the tone of the paper for formal academic prose
overall, the grammar, tone, and style should show progress and evidence of working to improve upon issues i have identified in prior papers.
