why is homicide not always murder

The paper must be 3-4 pages in length. (3-4 FULL pages!)

You can pick your own definition argument, use any of those suggested in chapter 9, or use the default topic, above.  Your thesis sentence (which MUST be in your intro) will contain a definitional claim.

You must use MLA documentation. You may NOT use a paper submitted for another class. All work is run through Turn-It-In.com, and if your paper has been submitted elsewhere, you will not receive credit.

Be sure to read the attached rubric carefully so that you will see how you will be assessed.

You must include at least 3 quotes. One quote must be a long quote (4 or more lines) while one will be a short quote (2 lines or less).

Practice using the skills you have already learned, such as arguing from the heart,  etc 

Remember to come up with a purpose for your paper and find the voice you would like to use. Ill let you decide who your audience is!!

And finally:  no cliche topics!  That means, please do not write on the death penalty, gun control, abortion, legalizing MJ, or euthanasia.  These topics have officially been “done to death” in college papers. Also be sure your topic lends itself to using credible and scholarly sources.
