You should have a title page, some pages of body content, and the last page should be your paper’s references. If you have a title page and reference page that leaves you with 5 pages for the body.
Use at least 3 references for your paper. They should be articles/sources that support your paper.
Your paper should contain no more than 20% direct citations or quotations. That means 80% should be your own analysis, thoughts, and ideas.
