First Part

You were asked to choose which key question you are thinking of writing about in last week’s discussion. Please indicate which of the three questions you are planning on writing about. If you want, you can put a “working thesis” down which attempts to answer this question. You will be asked to come up with a thesis by Sunday as well, so it’s OK if you want to wait until then.

  1. Please come up with 1-2 questions or concerns you have about this assignment that were not addressed in the guidelines/grading rubric. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Second Part >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>In order to receive full points for this assignment, you will need to make sure you have followed the directions for the Essay #2 Guidelines. Your document must be MLA-formatted and include a word count as a 5th line in the heading. You must include, at minimum:
    • An introduction paragraph with your thesis highlighted yellow. Be sure that your introduction paragraph starts generally by introducing the topic and any background information you want to include. It should end with an argumentative sentence that answers one of the key questions from Essay #2 Guidelines clearly.
    • Then, you must include an outline of what your body paragraphs will be about. Please use numbering or bullet points, and be specific by indicating a clear topic or even a complete topic sentence that makes a claim about your topic. Remember that this will be an argumentative paper, so do not simply summarize the sources you have read.

    Please understand that the grading rubric for this assignment is not the same for the rough draft or final draft for this essay. Regardless of what score you get on this homework assignment, you will receive feedback on how to improve for the rough draft, so be sure to check back in the submission comments once you have received your score.
