Notes on writing your essay:

Think through the topic and then determine your personal opinion, stance, or point of view on the issue. A well-organized essay has a beginning, in which the writer states the main point (thesis); a middle, where the main point is supported using three or more supporting points; and a conclusion. Before submitting, be sure to read through the essay and make any revisions, including those for correctness in grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Be sure to include at least two references.
