The draft was to be 750-1000 words, if you have less you are way behind!
Not a SS essay - no "Throughout history/time..." NO passive voice - has been, contractions, questions, first person (We, I, Us, Our) Explain quotes Follow the outline - Do no organize by stakeholders or perspectives, explain why your solution is best Watch your wording. Example: stick to climate change or global warming, do not use both. PROOFREAD Questions still need work - Be specific - define groups, define social media Stimulus must be essential to your argument. You must have 2 sources! Your IWA is not a historical research paper. You should be researching a current problem and a realistic solution. Your problem must be an actual problem - not something with laws that already exists All sources should be recent - 2010 or later Additional Sources to use - Paris Climate Accords, U2 Bloody Sunday APA format only - no footnotes
