I am a junior in an Honors English class with a very picky teacher. It is important to note that this paper should sound like a research paper and not a book report as my teacher emphasizes.
My teacher wants the first paragraph to be an introduction/history/background of the topic. No concrete definitions of the word abandonment, but a sort of summary of what it is and how it has been researched, and how it affects children as they grow up. The first paragraph should have a flow quote. (8ish well developed sentences)
The second paragraph should be about how abandonment affects the relationships they make as a child and older. This should include a flow quote. (10ish well developed sentences)
The third paragraph should be about how abandonment affects the emotions of these people as they grow up and when they are older. Also should include a flow quote. (10ish well developed sentences)
The fourth paragraph is about how abandonment affects the behaviors of these people- how they act as a kid and as an adult. Also should include a flow quote. (10ish well developed sentences)
The fifth paragraph should be about how treatments and long term outlooks for abandonment. Include flow quote. (8ish well devleoped sentences).
No conclusion.
Also do not do concluding sentences at the end of paragraphs. Also in the intro paragraph make sure to include the thesis as the very first sentence (what the topic is/what my claim/point is)
Do not include quotes that mention neglect, as neglect and abandonment aren’t the same.
The first source to incorporate is: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10298591/#:~:text=The%20child%20who%20experiences%20abandonment,loss%20of%20trust%20in%20people. (The title is “is rejection, parental abandonment or neglect a trigger for higher perceived shame and guilt in adolescents?”)
The article I attached about “Child Abandonment: Historical, Sociological, and Psychological Perspecties” is what to incorporate as well.
The Nature of Child Neglect article attached should also be used but if cannot find enough information, find another source that ends in .gov or .org.
