I’m working on a Writing project and need a sample draft to help me study.

Please write an essay on the following topic and please follow all the rules below (please write on the attached file):

TMA Guidelines:

• Essay word limit: 600-700 words. (No less than 600 and No more than 700 words)

• Use at least two sources; internet and data bases, scientific journal articles, news, interviews, etc. to help you in providing facts, definitions, examples, statistics, etc. that could support your essay.

• Write an outline for your essay and upload it alongside your essay. You will be partly evaluated on the organization of the outline and how closely it is followed in writing your essay.
• Begin by reading the topic carefully and then write down your ideas on a piece of paper as a sort of free writing activity. You may need to brainstorm your ideas individually or in the class as a class activity. (Thinking about the topic).

• Read at least two sources/references to get more ideas about the topic you are researching. While reading, make notes of relevant information that can help you in enriching your ideas.
• Summarize and paraphrase the relevant points to your essay from the two texts (sources) you have read. You may quote some ideas but use quotation marks and in-text citation.
• Use the APA style referencing format in your in-text citations and end-text references. See the following cite to help you in your referencing:

• Use your brainstorming notes, reading notes and outline to write your first draft on a separate piece of paper.
• Rewrite the whole essay, type it, and then upload it on the LMS before the deadline to check the turnitin similarity percentage, and then do the necessary modifications.

Very Important: Notes on plagiarism:

If you submit an assignment that contains work other than yours without acknowledging your sources, you are committing plagiarism. This might occur when:

• Using a sentence or phrase that you have come across
• Copying word-for-word directly from a text
• Paraphrasing the words from the text very closely
• Using text downloaded from the Internet
• Borrowing statistics or assembled fact from another person or source
• Copying or downloading figures, photographs, pictures or diagrams without acknowledging your sources
• Copying from the notes or essays of a fellow student
