Your classmates. Assume that their knowledge is equivalent to yours.

There should be at least 5 references, which includes 3 outside reliable sources. You must include in-text citations in your essay. The title of your informative essay should be your chosen question.
The informative essay needs to have an introduction, body and conclusion. The introduction can present your question and grab the readers attention. The introduction should be a paragraph and provide any background information to understand the question, such as definitions or a brief description of what will be covered. Once reading the introduction, the reader should have the appropriate information to further understand the question and your answer to the question. The body is the largest portion of your essay and is where you answer your chosen question by facts, examples and/or statistics. This is where most of your references should be used. The conclusion summarizes the essay in a paragraph. Here, you should reiterate the question and include the highlights of your answer (your body paragraph).
