To do this, include at least eightcitations from the book in your paper. Be sure to discuss general terms and principles from the book, aswell as some of the concrete examples that Patel considers.Make the last sentence or two of the paper’s introduction your thesis statement: a statement that clearlystates three main ideas you will present in the paper.

When I complete the rubric, I will focus on the general categories on the left side of the rubric, rather than the small text in each box.
