ENGL 101 WEEK 2 ESSAY
Essay 1: Narrative Argument about Education
Instructions
In Module/Week 3, you will write an approximately 1000-word (3–4-page) narrative essay in response to the following prompt: Use a personal narrative to state your views in response to one of the assigned readings on education.
Be sure to follow the Writing Processes guidelines: gather all of your information, plan the direction of your essay, and organize your ideas by developing a 1-page thesis statement and outline for your essay. Format the thesis statement and the outline in a single Word document using current MLA, APA, or Turabian style (whichever corresponds to your degree program). Submit this thesis and outline by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of Module/Week 2 for instructor feedback.
As you compose your essay, be sure to:
- Follow the appropriate formatting style for your degree program (MLA, APA, or Turabian).
- Use signal phrases and proper in-text citations, and make sure you include a References or Works Cited page.
- Use the Grading Rubric, Thesis/Outline suggestions from your instructor, and Proofreading Checklist (provided below) to draft and revise your essay.
- Include your thesis statement and outline on a separate page at the end of the document.
- Type your degree program and which style of writing you are using (MLA, APA, or Turabian) on the the title page of your essay and in the “Submission Title” field of the SafeAssign link in the module/week so that your instructor can grade your essay accordingly.
You may use one or more of the authors from the readings in the course up to this point. Be sure to fully cite all quotations, summaries, and paraphrases used within your essay, or those excerpts will be regarded as plagiarism and result in a “0” on your essay and possibly course failure.
Please Note: This assignment must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of Module/Week 3 and must include a title page, essay itself, a works cited/references page of any primary or secondary texts cited in the essay, followed by the thesis/outline page.
Proofreading Checklist
Part 1:
Read through your paper and check the appropriate boxes on the chart below. If any area of your paper needs revision, make sure you correct it before submitting your essay. One of the best ways to proofread your writing is to read it backward to forward, sentence-by-sentence. This helps you to see words and ideas you may have missed. Another very successful tool for proofreading is to read your work out loud to someone else. Students often think that handing their paper to someone and asking them to read it is the same thing, but it isn’t. Instead, ask them to listen while you read your own words. You will immediately hear what you missed or want to improve in your writing.
