This is just a draft, not the final essay. DRAFT is due in 12 hours. For this essay, you should have a specific audience in mind. Make sure you’re writing to that audience. Title of the essay is: Should the price on water be raised worldwide?

• You’ll introduce the issue, give the conversation surrounding the issue (the “they say”). Then you should give your thesis (your “I say”) toward the end of the introduction. Again, keep your audience in mind, you’re writing to them, so they need the background and conversation you’re responding to so that they know WHY you’re even writing to them.
• You should then lay out each of your reasons that support your thesis. Tie your reasons back to your thesis. Each of your reasons should also be supported by good, credible evidence. Remember to use credible sources to help bolster your evidence.
• At some point, you should also have an addressing the naysayer paragraph. For this section, you might be able to use one of the positions from your Exploratory Essay to address the naysayer.
• Then you’ll conclude your essay. Make sure you reiterate your thesis–your audience needs to be reminded about the purpose of your essay.
• And of course, you’ll have a Works Cited page at the end of your paper…and proper in-text citations wherever you used those sources.

My previous essay and annotations are attached so you can pull material from there if needed. Must be 4-6 pages long. 4 pages is fine with me as long as it’s passing. The directions are attached. MLA Format, Times New Roman, 12 point font. Please use source citations correctly. My teacher is strict about it.
