- CONTEXT (in Intro)—Remember that your audience for academic writing is always the uninformed public; this means that the “important relevant background info” must include/describe the source materials (text) that your essay is dealing with.
- Within the Body of your essay you must include text evidence from Herschend.
- The supporting evidence for your thesis must come from outside research, NOT from Herschend’s article.
