ARGUMENT ESSAY – 1200 Words – 20% of overall grade
For the argument essay, you will write an essay in which you cite at least three secondary
sources in addition to the primary source. Look at the primary assertion made by Chad C.
Tossell, et. al. in their essay “You can lead a Horse to Water but You cannot make him Learn:
Smartphone use in Higher Education.” and agree with it or refute it. Your thesis must be
supported through the use of at least three academic sources. These sources may include
journal articles and books (not general encyclopedias). Absolutely no internet sources,
including Wikipedia, may be used. All of the sources must be correctly cited in the essay and on
the works cited page, using MLA 8 format.
The essay, like all other well-written essays, must have an introduction, a well-developed
body, and a conclusion that is well-balanced.
The essay is to address a general audience.
In the introduction, introduce the general topic, mention the author’s name and the title of
the primary source, and give a very brief, one to two sentence, summary of the article and
the author’s thesis, and, of course, your own thesis.
► Each supporting paragraph must be well-developed, using pertinent examples and
thorough explanations.
You must have at least one counter-argument that you refute with specific evidence.
Use the handbook in the back of your textbook or an MLA 8 handbook for MLA 8
citations. Remember, used books may not have the update and will be counted wrong. The
writing center is a good place to ask for help.
WHAT DO I TURN IN WITH MY FINAL PAPER?
Turn in the final paper and photocopies of all sources cited in the paper, along with the
two journals that are due at the end of the semester (refer to the schedule of assignments), in a
pocket folder or a manila envelope. If you used books, turn in photocopies of only the pages you
used and a copy of the title page(s).
Highlight the sections you quoted, summarized, or paraphrased on all photocopies
and in the essay itself. Minus ten points if you do not do this.
> If the essay does not follow MLA 8 format, it will receive an F (Zero).
► If the sources are not cited in the essay correctly in MLA 8 format or are not cited at all,
the paper will receive an F (Zero).
If the works cited page is not in correct MLA 8 format, or if there is no works cited page,
the paper will receive an F (Zero).
► If the required sources are not used (the primary source and three secondary sources),
minus ten points of overall grade for each required source that is not used.
If the photocopies and the essay are not highlighted, minus ten points of overall paper
grade.
Plagiarized papers will result in an F in the course.
► If there are five or more major writing errors (fragments, run-ons, comma splices,
subject/verb/agreement) in the paper, the paper will receive an F.

What’s new in MLA style?
The Modern Language Association (MLA) has updated its guidelines for student writers in the 8th edition
of the MLA Handbook (2016). As a service to users of Bedford/St. Martin’s textbooks, we offer this
overview of the major changes in MLA style.
Notable changes
MLA uses the organizing principle of “container.” A container might be an anthology, a periodical, a
Web site, a television program, a database, an online archive, etc. Basically, containers are enclosed
by periods, with commas used for the elements within the containers. See the visual and a few
examples on the next page.
Use et al. for three or more authors in works cited entries and in in-text citations.
and pp. for all page numbers in works cited entries.
Spell out editor, translator, edited by, etc. Continue to abbreviate vol. for “volume” and ed. for
“edition” in works cited entries.
Indent for long quotations in text is now 7 inch (not 1 inch).
If the publisher name is the same as the Web site title, omit the publisher name.
Use p.
.
Works cited: books
Do not give the medium in citations.
Do not use the place of publication for books.
Use full publisher names, except for terms such as Inc. and Company. Retain terms such as Books
and Publisher. Continue to use U and P for university presses. Examples: Alfred A. Knopf, Penguin
Books, W. W. Norton, Florida UP, U of Michigan P.
Works cited: periodicals
For journals, use the season or month in addition to volume and issue numbers: vol. 22, no. 4, June
2016.
Use The for periodicals that include the article in their titles: The New York Review of Books, The
New York Times, The Economist.
Works cited: Web sources
Use a URL for all Web sources (omit http://
Dols and permalinks, when available, are preferable to URLs.
Use the date of access for Web sources that don’t have a publication date: Accessed 3 Mar. 2016.
