To start with, you will need to choose a topic to write about, and then you will need to conduct research to gather information to support your paper. You can use resources such as a dictionary, thesaurus, library, encyclopedia, atlas, almanac, and other reference sources. Make sure to cite all the sources you used in your paper.

Next, you should organize your paper, including an introduction, body, and conclusion. In the introduction, provide an overview of your topic and include a thesis statement that outlines your main argument or purpose for writing the paper. In the body, include supporting evidence and arguments to back up your thesis statement. Use different types of sentences, subject/predicate, direct/indirect objects, independent/subordinate clauses, adjective/adverb clauses, and avoid run-on sentences.

Make sure to include appropriate vocabulary, such as synonyms, antonyms, homonyms, homographs, prefixes, suffixes, contractions, compound words, connotation/denotation, and idioms. Use proper grammar, usage, punctuation, and capitalization, including common and proper nouns, singular/plural nouns, possessive nouns, verbs, verb phrases/tenses, using irregular verbs, active/passive voice, gerunds, infinitives, participles, antecedents, relative pronouns, who/whom, end punctuation, commas, quotation marks, apostrophes, colons/semicolons, and more.

Finally, in the conclusion, summarize your main points and restate your thesis statement. Also, include a summary of the research methods you used, synonyms/antonyms you employed, and other skills you applied in writing the paper. Check for errors in grammar, usage, punctuation, and capitalization, ensuring that there are no more than five errors.

Overall, ensure that your paper is between 500-550 words, includes all the skills from the course, at least three cited resources, and adheres to the rubric guidelines provided.
