At minimum, the paper must contain the following: A working thesis with an arguable, analytical claim.

Papers must include at least three scholarly references. Fully developed, cohesive paragraphs with topic sentences. These topic sentences should be assertions. The paragraphs should contain ample evidence, analysis, and links to the thesis. Lack of development in paragraphs may result in no credit for the essays.

The page length does not account for a title page, abstract and reference page. Paper must use proper APA format and include a minimum of five (5) scholarly sources. *** I set the amount of pages needed to (10) because 8 pages for the body will be fine, I just wanted to make sure to include the abstract and reference pages. *** I also want to note I live in bergen county, nj…close to NYC for when you need to answer what the emergency management system of my local community area is. *** THANK YOU 🙂
