Final Draft Due: Unit 2 (Proposal Essay) due in dropbox marked “ENGL 1020 Critical Assessment” by Wednesday, March 24th at 11:59 p.m. (Central Time)
Purpose: In a proposal essay, your goal is to state a problem that needs to be solved, provide a clear solution for the problem, demonstrate that the solution is realistic and that it solves the problem with convincing evidence, and anticipate and refute objections to your solution.
Tasks (How to write this essay):
– Write a minimum of 5-6 pages (Must be a minimum of halfway down on the last page for it to count as a page). The essay must also include a correctly-formatted works cited page that does not count toward the 5-6 page minimum page count.
– Write for an academic audience (No contractions, first- or second-person perspective, slang or clichés).
– The writer should start by choosing one problem that s/he would like to propose a solution for in the field of entertainment and the arts.
– The essay’s argument (thesis) should focus on identifying a problem within the arts and entertainment and arguing that the author has found a realistic solution for the problem.
– In making this argument, the writer should find a minimum of four research sources that s/he can use to support her/his argument. Now, here’s the interesting part. Remember those reading logs that you have been doing this semester? You can use one (and only one) of those sources from those logs! If you don’t have a source that you like from those logs, then you will have to find new ones, but you have the option to use one of those sources if you choose.
– The first body paragraph(s) should utilize a topic sentence that argues that this is a problem. The author should then use at least one quotation from a source article to support that argument in each body paragraph.
– The next body paragraph(s) should utilize a topic sentence that argues for a specific solution that is offered by one of the sources as a realistic solution to the problem. The author should then use at least one quotation from one source article to support this argument in each body paragraph.
– The final body paragraph(s) should anticipate and refute objections to your solution. Again, you must use at least one quotation from a source article to object to your argument and one quotation from a source article to support your argument in each body paragraph.
– Sources: You must have a minimum of four sources for this paper. Those sources can be either scholarly or non-scholarly, but they should still be credible sources (so no wikis), and dictionaries and encyclopedias are good for building your knowledge about a topic but they should not be used for this assignment. Furthermore, you may choose to have additional sources if you find that four sources are not enough to support your arguments.
– Citation: The writer should provide correctly-formatted signal phrases/attributive tags for all summaries, paraphrases, and quotations that reference material from sources, and correctly-formatted in-text citations must be provided for all paraphrases and quotations. Furthermore, the author should provide full introductions to sources the first time they are mentioned in the paper (author’s full name, the full title of the source, and a one-sentence summary of the main idea of the source), and a works cited page must document all sources and be formatted according to MLA guidelines.
– Format: The essay should be formatted according to MLA guidelines, which are accessible in your textbook or through the Purdue Online Writing Lab.
– Grammar and mechanics: Has ability to write using edited American English. Proofread and edit for issues that include, but are not limited to, those regarding spelling and word usage. Subject-verb agreement, pronoun-antecedent agreement, run-on sentences, sentence fragments, fused sentences, absence or misuse of apostrophes, and absence or misuse of commas exemplify other problematic issues.
Skills (Learning Outcomes Achieved): Demonstrate understanding of and ability to read and respond to
the demands of the rhetorical situation (author, audience, and
subject) in both oral and written communication.
Read critically and analyze various types of assigned readings on
the basis of structure, pattern, and meaning in order to produce
original papers that show development of topic through
organization (such as topic sentence, support of the central idea
through details, and rhetorical patterns).
Invent, write, revise, edit, and rewrite formal essays in response
to readings which develop appropriate rhetorical patterns (i.e.,
narration, example, process, comparison/contrast, classification,
cause/effect, definition, argumentation) and other special
function(s) (i.e., literary analysis or research) while
demonstrating writing skills from process to product.
Produce final papers that show growth in principles of good
writing, such as organization (e.g., introduction/body/conclusion
or outlining), development (clarifying transitions between
sentences and paragraphs), unity (connected ideas), and which
demonstrate an understanding of the substance of the topic.
Complete at least one writing assignment that demonstrates a
limited use of MLA documentation form and basic research
ability.
Participate in collaborative work with other students via small
group discussions and presentations, workshop-style classes
devoted to particular issues (such as paragraph structure or voice
and tone), and produce, accept, and use constructively feedback
from writing instructors, other students, and other university
writers/instructors to take control of your own writing.
Create mechanically sound papers relatively free of errors in
grammar and mechanics.
