Description
For the final essay, you will be asked to read three questions carefully and then choose only ONE question to answer. You will then write a thesis-centered essay of at least 500 words in response to this one question using excerpts from both readings provided for this unit. Essays that fail to refer to, and quote from, the ideas in both readings will automatically fail this assessment. In order to give you a real sense of what it will be like to take the final essay exam, this essay will simulate the format and timing of the final exam. Therefore, this essay assignment will be available from Thursday, October 29, at 6:00 am to Sunday, November 1, at 6:00 am. Once the window closes, you can no longer upload the assignment. There are some videos in this module to help you see what submission looks like. You are allowed up to two submissions in Blackboard. So if your first submission goes wrong, you have one more to get it right. When you finish reading these directions and complete typing out your essay, save your essay as a Word document (.doc or .docx) using Microsoft Office, Google Docs (File->Download->Microsoft Word), or other word processor, and attach that document to this assignment. Do not send a google docs link or share your file; please upload a file. The essay is due before Sunday, Nov 1, at 6:00 am. Note that this is 6:00 in the morning on Sunday. Do not write your essay in the “Comments” Box. This box is so that you can leave a note or “comment” for your professor about your essay that you have submitted. Remember to read the three questions below carefully and then choose only ONE to answer. Include the following information at the beginning of your document: First and Last Name: Class and Section #: Date: Professor’s Name: Form Letter at top of exam (Form X, Y, or Z): Question # (The question you have chosen to answer): You may use a paper dictionary and the notes you wrote directly on the exam readings to assist you in writing your essay. Remember also to: Develop a thesis that takes a clear stance or position. Organize your thoughts–an outline can help do this. Use MLA in-text citation to support your claim with quotes or paraphrases from BOTH readings. (You must use at least one cited idea from each reading). Also use your own observations, experiences, or other sources to develop your claims. Discuss how your citations and ideas are relevant to your thesis.
