A persuasive essay: That is you must present your claims and back them by strong evidence as well as address opposing positions. 2500 words (roughly 10 pages) and a Reference page. 12 pt. Times New Roman font. Double spaced. Should contain an APA-style formatted title page. All pages should be numbered. Should contain 10 sources (minimum) with no more than three web sites. We do not footnote for APA. We do not use URLs in-text. Remember that if you use Internet sources, in your References list, you will need a lot more information than just the web-site address (URL). Also, do not use URLs when citing in text. You must use author, date, and page number. For Internet sources, it is author only, or title only (if there is no author).
