Question.3859 - Week 9: LectureHello class and welcome to the Week 9 lecture. The lecture this week will be a blend of writing and video, and it will focus solely on what we need to do to complete our Essay #2 assignment. There are several different areas we need to be aware of with this essay, and this isn't the sort of essay that you can procrastinate on. In order to have success with this essay, you will need to use your time wisely and you'll need to use the tools we've been working with in this class up to this point.The topic for our second essay is abortion, and many of you might not like this topic. I completely understand if you're not all that interested in talking about this issue, but it's a major issue within the fabric of our society, and I think it's well worth our time to focus on it and write about it. That said, please spend ample time with this lecture. Please review closely the different requirements for this Essay #2 assignment, and if you have any questions about this work, feel free to reach out to me. Thank you. Essay #2 Assignment: The Persuasive Essay: The topic of abortion has two sides: pro-life and pro-choice. You will need to pick a side in your essay. Sallie Tisdale wrote the essay We Do Abortions Here, and she took a "neutral" position with the issue-- she didn't pick a side. She wrote more of an educational essay, where she wasn't looking to persuade the reader. Rather, she was looking to educate the reader on the harsh realities associated with the topic of abortion. Ultimately, however, she left it up to the reader to feel the way they wanted to about the issue. **Please review the section of the Week 8 Lecture that goes over the "persuasive essay." As a student, you will need to educate yourself on this issue, and you'll also need to know where you stand with this issue. Are you pro-life or pro-choice? Whatever your choice, that will be the side you represent in your essay. Your knowledge of the issues and the way you use language in this essay will be key-- you're looking to qualify yourself as someone capable of speaking on this issue, but you're also considering the approach you need to take to be persuasive with your writing. The gender issue: the men might have trouble with this topic because they can never become pregnant. Therefore, the men will really need to educate themselves on the issues surrounding abortion. Women, however, might be biased on this topic, so they will really need to keep their personal biases in check as they write this essay. Regardless of gender, we all might have personal experience with this topic, so again, our personal feelings and opinions and biases need to be kept in check. Where Do We Begin With This Assignment?: In this class, we're learning that it takes time to develop our thoughts and our writings about a certain topic. Good discussions help us to develop our thoughts, so this is where we will start with this assignment. First we spend more time with the Tisdale reading. It's a powerful essay, so reading it a again, and even a third time, is suggested. Then we consider how we feel about this issue. Are we pro-life? Pro-choice? We ask ourselves why we feel and believe the way we do about this issue. We do some free writing about this topic... see your Week 9 journal entry for this. After we know how we feel and we do some free writing, we walk through the first three steps of the writing method, and we develop a detailed outline of what our essay will look like. After we have our outline complete, we then do some research in the QC Databases. We look for relevant and compelling source material that we can use in our essays. We find three sources, one for each point that we want to discuss in the body of our essay. It will take some time to navigate through the databases and to find worthwhile sources, so plan your time accordingly here. Once your outline is complete and you have your sources from the databases, you need to work closely with the Little Seagull Handbook to make sure you're meeting all the MLA requirements. Your primary areas of focus should be on in-text citations and a Work Cited page. Once you have your outline and your sources ready, the final step here is to construct your essay, piece by piece. After you put all the pieces together, you will have a rough draft of your essay. The final step will be to convert the rough draft into the final draft. What The Final Draft of Our Essay Should Have in Each Paragraph: Paragraph #1: Introduction: Your introduction needs to be "set up" effectively, and you should have a clearly defined thesis statement Paragraph #2: The first point you want to focus on, along with a source that supports what you're claiming. (in-text citation) needed. Paragraph #3: The second point you want to make, along with a source that supports what you're claiming. (in-text citation) needed. Paragraph #4: The third point you want to make, along with a source that supports what you're claiming. (in-text citation) needed. Paragraph #5: Conclusion: This is your closing statement, and it needs to make a lasting impression on the reader. Close your essay strong. Work Cited Page: Needs to alphabetically list the three sources used in your essay. Grading Rubric for Essay #2 assignment:Students will be graded on the following criteria: Introduction: How well do you “set up” your essay in your introduction? Don't assume your reader (me) knows anything about this topic or the essay you are writing. Do you have a clearly defined thesis statement in your introduction? Your reader should know what your essay will focus on by the time they finish your introduction, and they should know "exactly" what your main claim is. Is your tone of voice persuasive or argumentative? Is your writing formal or informal? Be mindful of the approach you're taking here. Body Paragraphs: Are your sentences clearly written? Are they choppy or smooth? Are you using your speaking voice? Are there mistakes in grammar, punctuation, sentence structure? Is your essay error-free? Are you writing with confidence? Does your writing style fit the topic? Do the points you make support your thesis? Do the points you make strengthen your thesis? Do your sources support what you are saying, or are you supporting the source? This is key... make sure you don't write an essay in support of a source. Use the source to support what you're saying! Are your in-text citations done correctly? Are you quoting, paraphrasing or summarizing effectively? Are your points well sequenced? Each individual paragraph should stand on its own, but all body paragraphs should transition into one another nicely, all of which should re-enforce and strengthen your thesis. Conclusion: Is your conclusion a strength to your essay? Pretend this is your closing argument... make sure the last impression you make on your reader is a lasting impression. Is this paragraph your closing argument? Is your thesis re-enforced? The MLA: Do you have a complete Works Cited page that meets all the requirements? Please check the Little Seagull Handbook for accuracy. Are your In-text citations accurate? Please use the Little Seagull Handbook for accuracy. Are you in compliance with all requirements of the MLA? Please use the Little Seagull Handbook for accuracy.
