1. It should contain the discussion of 3 points on each side of the issue. 

2. Your supporting evidence should come from your own experience and /or that of your peers, relatives or people you know. 

3. At least one of your examples should come from an online resource, such as a newspaper or magazine. This example should be properly referenced and the reference should be correctly formatted in the MLA format using the Citation Machine (http://thecitationmachine.net). 

4. The length of your essay should be 400-450 words.
