Writing Homework Help

we will write our own persuasive argument explaining the primary factors which made Dorothy Vaughan, Katherine Goble Johnson, Mary Jackson, and/or Christine Mann Darden so successful. In particular, we will focus on the key mentors, growth mindset, and deliberate practice which made them an essential part of NASA’s team and helped to win the 1960s Space Race in America.

Tip: This essay works best if you either choose one person to talk about throughout the entire essay, such as Dorothy Vaughan’s mentors with 3 example quotes to show her helpful mentors in body 1, Dorothy Vaughan’s growth mindset with 3 example quotes to demonstrate her growth mindset in body 2, and Dorothy Vaughan’s deliberate practice with 3 example quotes to illustrate her deliberate practice in body 3.

Or you can do the same three pioneering women in each body paragraph, such as 1 mentor example quote for Vaughan, 1 mentor example quote for Johnson, 1 mentor example quote for Jackson in body 1 on mentors, 1 growth mindset example quote for Vaughan, 1 growth mindset example quote for Johnson, 1 growth mindset example quote for Jackson in body 2 on growth mindset, as well as 1 deliberate practice example quote for Vaughan, 1 deliberate practice example quote for Johnson, 1 deliberate practice example quote for Jackson in body 3 on deliberate practice.

Since we need 3 support quotes for a well-developed discussion in each body paragraph, I would not do 2 individuals from Shetterly’s book because it will look lopsided to have two quotes for one person and only one quote for the second person.

Be sure to print out and annotate the essay directions, and use pg 2-6 to help you plan out the intro, body paragraphs, and conclusion.
