Hashil--

Your essay should be no less than 5 full pages... but preferably 7-8 pages. You'll make the power point presentation in Mr. Gilbertson's class. As necessary, we'll use our class time to talk about the content for your presentation; we'll also take a few days to practice giving the presentation.

You should document all of your sources. First document them in the text of your document--"According to CNN, 17,000 people immigrated legally to the United States in 2012" (Article Author's last name, page number). The Works Cited page is difficult to explain--we'll discuss it in class.

Your essay should have 1 thesis and at least 3-4 points (called topics, or "topic sentences") that support the thesis. Refer to the outline you were to have completed as homework.

The conclusion is a restatement of the thesis, that is, you re-establish your purpose in writing; you then use the conclusion to explain why your essay proves that point to be important or correct.
