This is your final assignment for ENG 112. You must satisfy two parts: 1) write a Claim of Policy essay, which is your researched argument, and 2) immediately below the works Cited page of your Claim of Policy essay, you will write your Writer Self-Analysis essay. <\/p>\n
Claim of Policy essay: You must argue for a possible viable solution (or a few solutions) to the problem associated with your topic. You may present one solution or several, and you may compare solutions to show why some are better than others. This essay must argue that the solutions are feasible and explain how they rectify the problem. The claim of Policy should be supported with researched evidence and incorporate rhetorical appeals. The essay should also address counterarguments: anticipate and overcome potential objections. STAY focused. Don\u2019t get lulled into merely writing about the topic. This is a researched argument essay. DO NOT make CARS moves in this essay. (6-8 pages)<\/p>\n
Writer Self-Analysis essay: This essay is about recognizing where you were as a writer before this course and assessing where you are now as a writer. Think about this essay more in terms of explaining more so than arguing. For an essay to be an essay, it must have an introduction, at least one body paragraph, and a conclusion. (Don\u2019t forget that this is an essay\u2014and you must have a thesis statement.) You must cite at least three times from Naming What We Know. Choose cites that resonate with you and explain how those cites pertain to you\u2014as a writer, not just to your life in some general way. Yes, you must include a properly formatted MLA style a Works Cited page for this essay, too. DO NOT make CARS moves in this essay. (at least 2-3 pages)<\/p>\n
For your Claim of Policy essay:<\/p>\n
Draw from everything you\u2019ve learned during the semester to successfully complete the essay. While this certainly isn\u2019t an exhaustive list, here are things you should be cognizant of:<\/p>\n
Have I remembered the Burkean Parlor metaphor and the meaning(s) behind it?<\/p>\n
The three logical appeals are ethos, logos, and pathos\u2014did I weave them into my argument?<\/p>\n
The Rhetorical Situation, to what extent have I considered it?<\/p>\n
Thesis statement\u2014is it clear, concise, and in the correct place?<\/p>\n
Topic sentences\u2014do they make an arguable claim, and do they echo my thesis statement?<\/p>\n
Constraints\u2014what are they, and how can I get my message across while navigating them?<\/p>\n
Counterarguments\u2014did I think about and address them?<\/p>\n
Logical fallacies\u2014what are they, did I avoid them, and how do I argue while avoiding them?<\/p>\n
Details and examples\u2014did I supply them for my reader?<\/p>\n
Organization\u2014have I pieced together my paragraphs in a way that is rhetorically effective?<\/p>\n
DO NOT ADDRESS THE READER WITH \u201cYOU\u201d!<\/p>\n
Format\u2014are my in-text citations and Works Cited sources formatted properly? Does my itself adhere to MLA\u2019s guidelines? (If you need help in this area, then you can consult your Rules for Writers textbook and\/or go to Purdue OWL to see examples.)<\/p>\n
Transitions\u2014are they smooth?<\/p>\n
Have I gone to Purdue OWL to see examples to get refreshed on how to format both full source and in-text source info?<\/p>\n
Signal phrases, did I provide them?<\/p>\n
In-text citations, did I provide them? (NOT SUPERSCRIPTS!!!)<\/p>\n
Plagiarism\u2014do I fully understand what that is and how to avoid it?<\/p>\n
Revision\u2014did I give myself time to write multiple drafts! REMEMBER: effective writing involves a process and is socially derived. Have a friend give you feedback. Ideally, give the folks down in the WCC a visit so that your feedback can be really dialed in. Because of the new COVID-19 reality, you will need to get tutored virtually, but the WCC is currently doing that.<\/p>\n
