Two questions that need to be answered after the inclusion of research in your essay are HOW and WHY.

We used a collaborative writing process with our teamwork project.

Each body paragraph needs to have a topic sentence.

Critical thinking is an important skill to have in college.

Each topic sentence supports the thesis statement.

The following is an example of a MLA in-text citation: “…beyond the horizon (Kennedy).”

Instead of procrastinating, we work on assignments ahead of time, which reduces our stress.

When you write an effective conclusion, you restate the thesis statement and summarize the body paragraphs of the essay.

If you write a fake news article, your purposes are to entertain and to persuade.

When writing in third-person voice (academic/professional voice), the writer should revise his or her essay to change personal pronouns, contractions, abbreviations, and slang.
