Additionally, your short essay should follow the requirements below:
1. Explicitly state what you are attempting to do in the beginning of your essay. Include a clear purpose/aim.
2. Ensure that what you include in your essay relates to your purpose. Do not include a random discussion of what is not directly related to your aim.

4. Double-space your paper.
5. Make sure that your paper is properly proofed.
Additional instructions: You may use any articles by Earl Wright and/or Aldon Morris (assuming you are unable to access their books that some of you started before spring break). The Du Bois section in Chapter 12 of the text is also important in addressing certain criteria. Other relevant scholarly sources are ok as well. PLEASE USE CHAPTER 12 of the REQUIRED COURSE TEXTBOOK.
