Answer:
I don't know what a Bucket List Research essay is, but here is how you write an essay.
Essay plan:
P1: introduction. Include a hook and a thesis. State all your reasons [reason 1, reason 2, reason 3, etc].
P2: Restate reason one. Explain its relevance to the topic, then explain its general importance.
P2: Restate reason two. Explain its relevance to the topic, then explain its general importance.
P3: Restate reason three. Explain its relevance to the topic, then explain its general importance.
P4: Restate reason four OR introduce a counterargument and explain why it is wrong/weak (only introduce a counterargument if this is an opinion piece).
P5: conclusion. Rephrase all your reasons and then your thesis statement.
Citations:
Find websites or books supporting your reasons. Quote or paraphrase the places they support your reasons.
- [book name] expresses how [reason].
- "[reason"], says [website name]
If you use websites, include links to them on a seperate page at the end of your document.
MLA heading:
At the top of the page, write these things, in order:
- your name
- your instructor's name
- the name of your class (ex: English)
- The paper's due date
Format your page like so:
Times New Roman font, size 12. Even your title should be size 12.
Margins should be 1 inch (I believe most word processors do this automatically).
Double-space the text.
Fully edited paragraphs:
When you finish, look through your essay for grammar or punctuation mistakes. You can also use Grammarly, which is a free browser extension that finds grammar, punctuation, and word choice mistakes in your documents.
