Carefully organize your paragraphs around cohesive characteristics of the chosen generation, for example: influences, challenges, attitudes about education, attitudes about family, attitudes about career, etc. You may choose any characteristics you would like to bring in from any of the articles, but your profile should be interesting and organized. You will have to carefully choose the characteristics upon which you will focus because the essay has a very limited word count.
Please document the articles you use with in-text citations and a works cited page.
Do not include any characteristics for which you do not have source information to document. All information you present as fact must be documented from an article we read this semester, whether the article was specifically read for that generation unit or not.
Your final exam essay must be between 500 and 1000 words long.
