paragraph that offers a call to action or a prediction. A call to action is
what the reader needs to do based on the argument that has been made in the

Since this is the most academic paper produced
in this class, avoid 1st person pronouns like these à
I, me, my , mine, our, us, and 2nd person pronouns as well à
you, your, yourself. Focus on using third person pronouns à
he, she, they, them, etc. And as with
the other papers, avoid contractions as contractions are more casual language,
and this paper needs to use formal language.
