This is going to be a standard, five-paragraph academic essay. The assignment itself is posted here. While there are several topics to choose from, you can also create a topic of your own. Please let me know what you would like to write about BEFORE you begin writing.
Here is a recommended order of operations for writing your essay.
There are many helpful websites on the internet about academic writing. You can simply Google "academic writing" and educate yourself, or you can look at this folder of materials about writing essays. I HIGHLY recommend that you read this PowerPoint on editing your essay after you have completed your rough copy.
You will be getting class time with computers to work on your essays, but not always in the same place. It is recommended that you save your work on the internet in order to avoid problems with the school network.
Please have a look at the rubric that will be used for scoring your essay.
