For this first full essay response, you are asked to write a 1000-word essay on what you consider to be the worst effect(s) of the Covid pandemic. You have already found outside evidence to assist you in supporting your assertion that you will make in your thesis, so use that research as textual evidence to support your claims. Your essay should be double-spaced, 12pt font, and have a compelling title. You will need an intro that provides an overview of your Covid experience, and then your final sentence in the intro should be your thesis where you provide your opinion on what the most significant effect of Covid is.
The body paragraphs of your essay will be used to provide reinforcement and support as you prove your thesis to the reader. Make sure that you use outside support, your own ideas, experiences, interpretations, and ideas. Each body paragraph should be connected to your thesis. Your body paragraphs are where you should use the outside sources you have researched and identified that support the opinion you have in your thesis. You dont want to just include a Works Cited page with some sources that dont even appear in your essayyou need to use the outside sources as your REINFORCEMENT. You can incorporate the outside sources in a few waysyou can directly quote from the material, you can summarize the source material, or you can paraphrase the source material (a paraphrase is like a summary where you put something into your own words, but instead of making it shorter, like a summary, you keep it the same length and dont cut to the main ideas). Use your outside source material to give your thesis opinion some backup, some reinforcement, some legitimacy. Your outside source information should help your own ideasnot substitute for them, so keep quotations brief.
Your essay should end with a conclusion that ties together your ideas and reinforces your thesis focus.
The last page of your essay should be titles Works Cited and should use MLA format to cite the outside sources you used in support of the stance you take in your thesis statement.
