Write a 5-6 page (around 1500-word) essay arguing for an answer to this question: What should the legal drinking age be in the United States? You will base your argument on the packet of information that I provide, and make sure to cite the sources when you use them--only include works cited entries for the works you actually use; except for one or maybe two optional personal interviews, DO NOT USE SOURCES EXCEPT FOR THE ONES I PROVIDE. Take care to be the primary voice in your essay and use the outside sources to supplement and reinforce your views. Here are some general suggestions:
Documentation/Works Cited: Pay special attention to the MLA guidelines for documentation as outlined in sections 56-57 of Bedford. Do not include annotations for works cited entries.
Annotated Bibliography: Please include an annotated bibliography of all the sources I provided. This will be separate from your works cited (only the works you actually reference in your paper).
