--------------------------------------

HERE ARE THE instructions :

Your own relationship to the topic and journey of exploration and research into your topic will be front and center. Think of yourself as an investigative journalist, putting the "me" in research. Yes, some people call this type of an assignment a "me search" essay.

Your paper should be controlled by a thesis question, and should very clearly demonstrate an argumentative angle about your topic rather than simply regurgitating facts and other writers' ideas about your topic. In everyday conversation, "argumentative" means something rather negative, but here, making an argument means you are posing a theory that someone could potentially disagree with or just never have considered.

• Two choices now re: your thesis.
  • Your can ask your question(s) at the end of your introduction--and answer it there, too. OR
  • You can ask the question(s) in your introduction--and then answer it along the way, and then in "thesis form" in your conclusion. Have fun experimenting!

Expectations/Approach:

1. Narrow topics that let us see a broader cultural shift work better than broad topics that lead to surface-skimming. Think magnifying glass on a small object rather than traveling to Mars for a view of the whole world.
2. Choose some road or back alley less travelled when considering topics. Countless essays have been written about the legalization of hallucinogenic mushroms, fewer on the impact of the many marijuana shops dotting the Cully neighborhood in NE Portland. Countless essay have been written on GMOs, fewer on the invention of breakfast cereal.
3. Your paper needs an interesting hook in the introduction and a clear, compelling thesis, whether the thesis comes in assertion or question form (or both)
4. Each body paragraph should have one main point of focus. Each body paragraph (everything besides your introduction and conclusion) should also begin with a clear topic sentence that sets up that point, that idea. Then the paragraph will support and explain what you set up in that topic sentence. Use evidence, quotes, offer analysis and discussion. Each body paragraph should also have a sentence that concludes the paragraph. Basically, you make a claim--back it up with evidence--and then you reiterate that claim and close off the paragraph. As with your first and second essay, aim for paragraphs in the page range, give or take a few lines.
5. About 1/5 of your paper should be quotes; refer to class materials/class handbook on choosing, using, and incorporating quotes.
6. Incorporate 2-3 secondary sources to explain your topic/support your overall point. Please aim for somevarietyof sourcesbooks, websites, magazine articles, newspapers articles, interviews, academic journals, pamphlets, etc. are all possibilities. Wikipedia is not a legit source for college-level work. By all means read Wikipedia entries to get your overview--I do this all the timebut scroll down to find where the entry-writer got the information, and check facts and sources there as you go.
7. Always make clear which source you are using and where you stand in relation to the source.
8. Make sureYOU are in your essay as well as your sourceswe should know why you are interested in this topic, how it relates to your life, what your theory is, why you care and we should careyou should have skin you have in the game and you should show it! Use the "I" voice in your introduction and every paragraph that follows,
9. Voice! Style! Figurative language! Interesting examples! Please do not write something that sounds like stereo installation instructions or like an entry in the 1950 edition of theEncyclopedia Britannica.You developed ways to engage and persuade and enliven your readers in #1 and #2don't check those skills at the door when you see the word "research" in an assignment description.
10. A passing paper will demonstrate a clear grasp of MLA conventions in both the body of the paper and the Works Cited page.
11. Your essay should end with a conclusion paragraph that really shows us why your essay matters on the larger (beyond 121!) scale. You can get more philosophical, political, personal, but work to make sure that you "go big" and that your reader doesn't finish up and think "so what?" The conclusion of an essay is where you can really answer that "so what" question.
12. The final essay should be scrupulously proofread, free of errors, and gleaming with grace and polish.

And oh...please lay off AI/GPT chat...this stuff makes dull, general, soulless reading and turning it in is as your own writing is both time and effort-saving...and academically dishonest if an instructor asks you to not use it. I am asking, since this is after all a class designed to support your development as a writer.
