Please pay close attention to the following elements:
• Create an engaging, original title.

• Craft an engaging, well-developed introduction that includes your thesis statement.
• State a clear thesis: firm, debatable claim; the casebook position your essay will defend.
• Define crucial, controversial, and abstract terms, including your casebook topic.
• Use supporting evidence (facts, statistics, examples, expert testimony, observation,
reasoning, etc.).
• Acknowledge, validate, and refute (undermine) the counterargument.

• Write effective paragraphs: well-developed, unified, coherent body paragraphs.

• Strive for concise, precise prose: appropriate for a formal essay.
