Sample Outline Attached to help
Should be 4-6 pages
Have an introduction that—
Accurately and effectively introduces and contextualizes the topic, article, project, and argument in introduction. Have a clear statement that indicates how the paper will proceed, which should clearly state whether Adichie’s rhetorical strategies are effective or not.
Indicate a clear focus in a well-written thesis statement and stay focused throughout the essay.
Describe Adichie’s project and argument, and what you see as his most important or interesting sub-claims, explaining how these sub-claims relate to the main claim.
**KEY: Identify Adichie’s specific audience. Her audience is not the whole world nor is it her “listeners.” Be specific—are her audience members educated? What is their race? Ethnicity? Age? You need to identify the audience so that, in the body of the essay, you can thoroughly explain WHY she chooses the specific strategies for this specific group of people and why that specific group of people will be convinced of her argument.
