How I learned to love snapchat by Jenna Wortham

Standard academic essay writing calls for a three-part structure— intro., body, conclusion— wherein a thesis statement appears as the final sentence of the first paragraph, supportive source material is integrated into the body (as quotes), and the conclusion reiterates the thesis in light of the essay as a whole.
a quote must be integrated into the thesis itself as a part of the introduction; the thesis must be founded, in part, upon a specific statement from the source text, and a quote must be included in the body paragraph as support of your thesis.
All essays will be assessed for the following fundamental elements:
MLA format
Heading, page numbers, title (consult RW pg. 468)
In-text citations (consult RW)
Works cited (using RW pg. 449)
Three-part structure (in the specific case of this exam, this means three paragraphs, minimum, each of approximately 6-10 sentences)
An introduction with quote and clear thesis
A quote within the supportive body
A conclusion that restates the thesis
Each question has to follow instructions above. Essentially it is three different parts. There is no word count just has to have a three-part structure— intro., body, conclusion— wherein a thesis statement appears as the final sentence of the first paragraph, supportive source material is integrated into the body (as quotes), and the conclusion reiterates the thesis in light of the essay as a whole.
