Prompt:
What are your personal or professional goals? What are you passionate about? What are some of the issues present in the field you want to enter? Once you have thought about these questions, you need to take a stance, take action, conduct research, and enter the conversation.
For this assignment you will research, and write an essay on your topic of choice. Projects should reflect your knowledge of the chosen topic, and use rhetorical strategies appropriate for a specific intended audience. This project should be presented in a genre that is appropriate to a business or professional audience and reflect that audience’s expectations for formatting, source documentation, graphics, and style.
In order to approach this broad assignment, find a problem, question, or new development to focus on.
Research:
Researching takes times. In order to find the sources that you will use, you will probably search through multiple texts, browse websites, and speak to others. Note that the final sources you choose should be credible and relevant so begin your research right away.
Essay Requirements:
• Essays should be 6-8 full pages
• Essays must follow MLA font and citation guidelines, and you may include any images to support your research (pictures and graphs)
• Essays need to use a minimum of four sources (most of you will use more)
• Sources include, but are not limited to, texts from the book, online articles, data from credible websites, and interviews.
Make sure your essay has:
1. An introduction that explains your topic in detail, acknowledges the sources that will be used, provides a clear thesis, and gives a plan of development.
• Note: Longer essays will sometimes have a multi-paragraph introduction. If you chose to do so, the first paragraph would introduce your subject and a second paragraph would clearly outline the argument that will be made.
2. Body paragraphs that have a main point, support the thesis, and provide detailed evidence. Remember to closely analyze any type of evidence you incorporate, whether it is statistics, an anecdote, or quotes. A conclusion that reflects back on the thesis and demonstrates the significance of the topic. In your conclusion make sure to answer the question: Why does this matter?
