Part I  You are going to practice embedding source material into your writing. To do this, you will provide a signal phrase and a parenthetical citation for the information below. As is the case in the essays you write, anytime you have an in-text citation, you need to have a reference entry for that citation. In short, for this part, you need two things: a sentence (signal phrase and quote) with a parenthetical citation and a reference entry. 1. Doing a paper on monkeys you find an article in Newsweek titled Monkeys of North America written by A. J. Boyd. The article appeared in the January 22, 1994 edition, volume 155, on pages 29 thru 30. On page thirty the article reads: Hurricanes have released monkeys from the Monkey Jungle on a few occasions. This is how it should look. The parenthetical citation and the APA entry on the References page.Boyd (1994) said, “Hurricanes have released monkeys from the Monkey Jungle on a few occasions” (p. 30). Reference:  Boyd, A. J. (1994, January 22). Monkeys of North America.  Newsweek, 155, 29-30. 2. You are doing a film theory project on movie aliens and want to quote direct dialogue from the movie, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, directed by Steven Spielberg. You want to use the line: “He’s a man from outer space and we’re taking him to his spaceship,” said by Elliot.

The movie was produced in the United States.Part II Summarize or paraphrase the material in your own words with (a parenthetical citation). Like what you did in the last part, be sure to include a reference entry for each source. For this part, you will need two things: a summary or paraphrase with an in-text citation and a reference entry. 3. John Hersey went to Japan right after the bomb dropped to record the experience of those who would soon be dead from the radiation. He used these stories to write the book Hiroshima. The line: Immediately after the explosion, the Reverend Mr. Kiyoshi Tanimoto, having run wildly out of the Matsui estate, looked in wonder at the bloody soldiers at the mouth of the dugout they had been digging: appears on page twenty-three.

This needs to be a personal narrative essay, it is for my high school written communication course. You’re going to be asked to write a personal narrative, an essay that speaks to who you are—and possibly why. This essay will be told using the first-person point of view, and your final draft should be at least 750 and no more than 2,500 words. The essay that you produce must be based solely on your first-hand personal experience(s), told from the first-person point of view, and meet the given length requirement of 750 to 2,500 words. Within this assignment, we’ll provide information to help you effectively write from a first-person point of view. In short, this will be an essay about you. The essay that you write should tell a story that will represent who “you” are to your audience—people who don’t know you personally. It should be completely original and shouldn’t contain any type of research; your story should be told entirely from thoughts and memories. Instead of relying on research to construct your essay, you’ll rely on your own memory and awareness of people and surroundings. This will ensure that your writing is credible, ethical, and authentic.

“Problems are an expected part of life, and our ability to deal with them can help determine our personal and professional success,” according to Catherine Savini.  As you read her work, you see that problems are also good for writing students, as they can “motivate” good papers and help students formulate a strong thesis statement or argument.  Savini also notes that “Theses do not fall from the sky. Finding a rich problem can be a big step in the direction of developing a compelling thesis.” (56). Looking at problems, then, is what you will do in this assignment. This analysis project requires you to tackle a problem within your field of study by first exploring and then recommending practical solutions to solve the problem.  Savini provides some great steps to take in working with problems: 1. Noticing; 2. Articulating a problem and its details; 3. Posing fruitful questions; 4. Identifying what is at stake. Review the piece to see how these steps can help you with your problem analysis paper. Example: Noticing: A company faces a growing number of insurance claims from employees complaining of eye strain. Articulating a problem and its details: The company recognizes the potential impacts from not acting, including the workers’ compensation claims, lowered productivity, and impacts on employee morale. Posing fruitful questions: To what degree is the lighting affecting employees? Is the lighting the problem, or is the eye strain restricted to workers on a certain floor or area of the office building? Could there be external factors affecting eye strain such as late nights at the office working on their projects? Identifying what is at stake: The company recognizes that insurance claims can result in increased premiums; that lowered productivity can impact profits; and that lowered employee morale can impact productivity, quality, and retention. After deciding on the problem you wish to tackle, begin building questions about it. You will find three attachments here to provide additional help in building your questions. Your goal for the analysis is to answer the questions through your sources. Finding multiple angles and perspectives is ideal so that you explore those possibilities in the final paper before settling on your recommendation.  Be sure to identify what is at stake here. Part of the recommendation should include the counterargument and rebuttal to demonstrate you’ve considered the limitations and concerns of your solution and can still defend the recommendation regardless of potential weaknesses. Help the doubters understand that this really is the most feasible, objective, and sustainable solution. PURPOSE:   To analyze a problem AUDIENCE:   Classmates, others interested in the field LENGTH:   1,000 words (Times New Roman font). Exceeding the word count is not a good thing. SOURCES:   5 (five) sources total,  I have included 2 sources at the bottom that must be used.  FORMAT:   The citation style that is appropriate for your discipline (MLA) DUE:   SUNDAY 11:55 pm EST of Week 7 SUBMIT:   In ASSIGNMENTS submit your essay by uploading your Word file Use only third person (he/she/they) for a more professional tone.

PROMPT A: IMAGE ANALYSIS: Although we look at print advertisements every day, we often do not consider the ways in which they affect us. Visual images in ads can influence and persuade us, so it is important to evaluate them critically to understand their meanings. Good image analysis involves examination of the components of an image to gain an understanding of the whole. Select an advertisement to analyze. The advertisement you choose should be directed towards a specific audience. To identify the intended audience, think about the members of the potential audience for the advertisement that you have chosen. Who are they? Ads for a beauty product, for example, may be aimed at young girls; ads for a deodorant might target men; a diaper commercial is likely intended for new parents; ads for cruise trips might be aimed at retirees. You can use any academically-appropriate advertisement to complete this assignment, as long as its intended audience is clearly identified. Your thesis must inform the reader of your topic and purpose. Because you are writing in the informative mode, use objective language and a neutral point of view. Draft an analytical essay that examines the audience, context, and purpose of the advertising image you’ve chosen. Read the article by Jenna Pack titled “Breaking Down an Image” for ideas about how to write an image analysis. Your analysis should lead to a conclusion about the ad’s effectiveness, based on examination of its components. Include the image with your draft. PROMPT B: EXTENDED DEFINITION: Define or redefine one of the following words: Family Success Courage Art Beauty In your draft, briefly explain how society, or the dictionary, defines the word you’ve selected, and then explain your unique or extended definition of the word. Provide examples and explanations to support your definition. Your thesis must inform your readers of your new definition and, because you are writing in the informative mode, you must use objective language. Draft an extended definition essay that defines or redefines a word or concept. Read the article by Dan Richards titled “Digital Ethics” for ideas about how to write an extended definition essay. B. Think About Your Writing As a part of your completed draft, complete the color coding activity and include answers to all of the questions below your draft. PART 1: Color Coding Activity: Using the color codes provided, evaluate your draft as follows: Use red text to indicate your thesis statement. Use green text to indicate the topic sentence of each body paragraph. Part 2: Questions 1. What is the significance of your essay? Why should readers care about what you have written? (2-3 sentences) Sophia says: Think about why you decided to analyze this particular image, or why you picked the word you chose to define. Your interest in in your subject matter should be clear to readers. 2. Which areas of your draft do you think will benefit most from revision? (2-3 sentences) Sophia says: Consider the organization, style, focus, development, and conventions of your draft. Which areas did you struggle to complete? 3. Consider the strengths and weaknesses of your writing. How can you capitalize on your strengths and improve on your weaknesses in future essays? (3-4 sentences) Sophia says: Think about what was easy about writing the draft, and what was more difficult. For example, if you write paragraphs with strong topic sentences, but repeatedly use the same type of sentence to provide supporting details, you can improve your paragraphs by varying sentence structure.

Argument essay about depression Keep in mind that the main objective of this assignment is to argue a point. You have to take a stance on a controversial issue and make a claim. Is there something debatable that you can say about depression? once you pinpoint your issue, try putting thus intona strong claim at the end of your introduction. In this paper, you will make an arguable claim that is supported by credible evidence. A sound argument is different from an opinion. An opinion is a belief that lacks a basis in logic or factual evidence. Instead, for this paper, you will use the writing process to form a position on your chosen topic, an argument that is based on logic and factual evidence found through research. So, instead of starting with an opinion and finding sources, you start with sources and use them to form a position. An argumentative essay asks you to take a stand on an issue, support it with persuasion, reasons, and evidence, and to address the opposition’s position. To accomplish this goal, you will research and investigate your topic by building a source list that represents credible, scholarly, authoritative voices. You must responsibly integrate and discuss these perspectives into your writing, demonstrating how they either support or go against your own argument. It should not include first-person or second-person pronouns. Instead, any claims should be backed up by sources, whether quoted directly or paraphrased. Information about that can be found on the Incorporating Sources page. Organization Tips: Begin with an introduction that builds readers’ interest in the topic and ends with a concise thesis statement that makes an arguable claim about a problem. This is the foundation on which you will build your argument. The subsequent paragraphs should give evidence from scholarly sources that prove the claim. Those body paragraphs should include a topic sentence that encompasses a single aspect of your argument that you will write about in that paragraph only. Remember, paragraphs are like containers, and each container can only hold one subtopic. That claim needs to be backed up with evidence and be tied back to the thesis. You must also acknowledge oppositional points by incorporating and refuting counterarguments. Don’t forget a conclusion that summarizes the argument. No new information or citations should be introduced in the conclusion. The approach to this can be in a style you find makes sense for your subject, such as an Introduction > Problem > Cause > Solution > Conclusion approach, or any other pattern that logically outlines your argument. There are handouts to guide your set-up here and here. An introduction that overviews the topic and engages the reader’s interest A claim/thesis statement that provides the writer’s clear position (this should be the last sentence of your introduction) Argumentative body paragraphs that support the claim/thesis with research that is integrated into the essay with APA style
