Lesson 1 Writing Assignment
For this assignment, choose ONE of
the writing prompts and write a minimum 300 word essay. For more detailed
instructions, review the Instructions
for Lesson Writing Assignments.
**Do not use quotations or
paraphrases from any sources for this assignment. You can use sources, of
course, but do not quote them or paraphrase them. This essay is short, and it
needs to be obvious from YOUR words that you understand the material.**
This paper must be between 300 and 450 words
long. You will lose points if your paper is too short or too long. Do not turn
this assignment into a mini-research paper. A one- or two-sentence intro,
response to all parts of the prompt, and a one- or two-sentence closing is all
you need. Turning it into a 500+ word essay complete with intro paragraph,
paragraph for each major support, and closing paragraph is not what is needed
for this assignment.
Also, you are expected to maintain formal,
academic standards. Do not make your paper chatty. Do not use first or second
person (I, we, you). Edit your work. Then edit it again. Then again. Use
spellcheck. Do not turn in a rough draft -- it will make a very low grade. Put
a heading on your paper. Put a title on your paper (the name of the assignment
is not a title). Use the skills learned in Freshman English. The expectations
enumerated in this paragraph are those expected in all academic and
professional writing, and failure to achieve proper academic standards affects
the grade. This is a university-level class, and university-level work is
expected.
Format your paper. Formatting your paper consist of putting a heading on it and putting a
title. The name of the assignment is not a title. The name of the assignment
should be given in the heading. Don't use a cover sheet.
It is not necessary to copy the prompt.
Copying the prompt does not count toward the required word count. Works cited
entries do not count toward the required word count.
1) Why did the
Articles of Confederation fail? What reasons might explain why someone would
prefer the Articles of Confederation to the Constitution? What were the biggest
benefits of the Constitution over the Articles of Confederation?
2) Many participants
at the U.S. Constitutional Convention had something at stake in the formation
of the Constitution. Focus specifically on the Three-Fifths Compromise. Which
groups had things at stake in this compromise, what did they have at stake, and
how did each try to get what they wanted?
