ENGL 1301 Week 3 Assignment Help | Central Texas College
Descriptive
Essay
Write
a 500-750 word essay using description as the chief method of development.
Follow the guidelines for formatting as described in Notes on Writing a
Descriptive Essay, located above. Make sure that you have viewed the MLA Sample
page under Helpful Resources, located to the left of your screen.
Purpose:
to inform
Method
of Development: description
Choose
your own topic, but make sure that the topic allows you to be able to describe
it. You can choose to describe a place, your favorite piece of clothing,
an event, your cell phone, a friend, or something else totally different. If
you have something in mind but you are unsure if it will work as a descriptive
essay, please send me a message through the Messages link for assistance.
Reminders
1. Brainstorm
for topics.
2. Accumulate
as many details as you can about your topic, and then sift through them,
discarding those that are irrelevant, weak, or unrelated to the impression you
would like to convey.
3. Organize
your ideas.
4. Use
vivid language and varied sentence structure.
5. Remember
this is not a narrative. This essay is based on painting a picture for the
audience.
6. Check
the syllabus for due dates.
Writing
Approach
In
this essay assignment, description will be the dominant technique used to
develop a distinct impression of your topic. Remember that description must
appeal to the senses: taste, touch sound, sight, smell. While you need not
appeal to every sense in your essay, be sure to give the reader enough
description so that he/she can be a part of your topic’s development.
You
may certainly use figurative language in your descriptions – simile, metaphor,
personification, etc. In any case, be aware of your audience (your classmates)
and your tone. Your choice of words may greatly influence your reader’s
impression of your topic. Be careful to present your topic as you would like it
to be interpreted.
Complete
your assignment using word-processing software such as MS Word 365 (download
free software at https://products.office.com/en-us/student?ms.officeurl=getoffice365),
LibreOffice (download free software at https://www.libreoffice.org/download),
or other per course requirements. Save your file as an .rtf file or .doc to
ensure that it can be opened at any computer.
***************
Students are required to present this first essay to the Writing Lab before
submitting them to me for a final grade. They will not be accepted without you
first submitting a rough draft to the lab, so plan accordingly.
You
must work with the Writing Lab on this essay, and I must receive confirmation
from the lab prior to the paper’s submission of your active participation with
the lab on the essay’s completion.
Keep
in mind that you must allow enough time for feedback (approximately 72 hours)
so the rough draft should be submitted to the writing lab by the due date on
the syllabus to allow you enough time to make the final changes. Failure to adequately
prepare for this requirement will not constitute an excused late submission.
Submit
your descriptive essay rough draft to the writing lab as an attachment using
your school email address ending in ctcd.edu.
Include
my name, Corinne Tatum, the assignment description, and email the rough
draft to [email protected].
Please
note that any essays submitted through non-CTCD emails will likely be blocked
by our security system. (This
includes gmail, hotmail, yahoo, etc.)
Check
your school email account for a response within 72 hours.
Enrollment
in the lab is not required for essay submission.
Once you receive feedback from the writing lab, make the corrections and submit
the final, edited version with the suggestion revisions from the writing lab
using the link below.
