Write an essay based on your outline from Lesson 2. Your essay will be about the same topic: a famous hoax from history. Like the outline, it must include a thesis, main ideas, and evidence from credible sources. In this lesson, however, you will organize your content into paragraphs and add quotes and paraphrases from your sources. When you're done, your essay should be about 900 words, or roughly three double-spaced pages. Your assignment should include the following elements:
A thesis that makes a direct statement about the historical hoax you've chosen to explore
Main ideas that support your thesis
Evidence from at least three credible sources, including one source representing a different medium from the others
An introduction and a conclusion paragraph and several body paragraphs
Quotes and paraphrases from your sources that are cited correctly
A works-cited page that lists all your sources
You should have completed a draft of this assignment in the activity before this one. If you haven't done so, go back and complete that activity now.

Ask yourself these questions as you revise:
Does my thesis say something definite about my topic that needs to be backed up with evidence? Is my thesis supported by main ideas (or reasons or main points)?
Does my evidence come from sources that are credible and relevant to my thesis?
Does my introduction paragraph grab the reader's attention, introduce the thesis, and give some background information about the hoax?
Do my body paragraphs present evidence and main ideas? Does each paragraph focus on a separate topic or main idea?
Does my conclusion remind readers what my essay is about? Does it leave readers with something to think about?
Did I quote and paraphrase where appropriate? Do I cite my quoted and paraphrased sources correctly? Is it obvious which source on my works-cited page each citation refers to?
Does my works-cited page follow MLA guidelines? Does it list all my sources?

Excerpt from 100% - the story of a patriot upton sinclair 10 so peter walked along, with his belt drawn tight, and his restless blue eyes wandering here and there, looking for a place to get a meal. there were jobs to be had, but they were hard jobs, and peter wanted an easy one. there are people in this world who live by their muscles, and others who live by their wits; peter belonged to the latter class; and had missed many a meal rather than descend in the social scale. 11 peter looked into the faces of everyone he passed, searching for a possible opening. some returned his glance, but never for more than a second, for they saw an insignificant looking man, undersized, undernourished, and with one shoulder higher than the other, a weak chin and mouth, crooked teeth, and a brown moustache too feeble to hold itself up at the corners. peters' straw hat had many straws missing, his second-hand brown suit was become third-hand, and his shoes were turning over at the sides. in a city where everybody was "hustling," everybody, as they phrased it, "on the make," why should anyone take a second glance at peter gudge? why should anyone care about the restless soul hidden inside him, or dream that peter was, in his own obscure way, a sort of genius? no one did care; no one did dream. 12 it was about two o'clock of an afternoon in july, and the sun beat down upon the streets of american city. there were crowds upon the streets, and peter noticed that everywhere were flags and bunting. once or twice he heard the strains of distant music, and wondered what was "up." peter had not been reading the newspapers; all his attention bad been taken up by the quarrels of the smithers faction and the lunk faction in the first apostolic church, otherwise known as the holy rollers, and great events that had been happening in the world outside were of no concern to him. peter knew vaguely that on the other side of the world half a dozen mighty nations were locked together in a grip of death; the whole earth was shaken with their struggles, and peter had felt a bit of the trembling now and then. but peter did not know that his own country had anything to do with this european quarrel, and did not know that certain great interests throughout the country had set themselves to rouse the public to action. based on the author's characterization of peter in paragraphs 10, 11, and 12, which word best describes him? a) industrious b) loyal c) patriotic d) poor
