Provide plenty of specific details and facts from your readings to support your argument – aim for at least two sources per point/body paragraph

Should college be free?

You need to rely on at least six credible sources to support your argument. You should use MLA style for formatting and documentation. You should use Times New Roman, 12 pt font, and the paper should be double-spaced.

Some things to consider in your RP:

Remember to define any important terms or concepts

Provide necessary background information
Acknowledge and refute the opposing argument(s)

Provide separate body paragraphs for each point you are making
Paragraphs should be about 1/2 page in length

Provide plenty of specific details and facts from your readings to support your argument – aim for at least two sources per point/body paragraph

Do not rely too heavily on quoted material – use quotes sparingly; summarize or paraphrase instead
Use third person point-of-view; Do not use “you”; do not use first person point-of-view
