Writing Homework Help

Assignment details are on page 26-27 of the textbook [See Assignment Option 1 – Challenging and Exploring your Conceptions about Writing].  The resulting essay will be descriptive and argumentative in nature. The assignment as a whole, however, is asking you to first reflect on ideas you had before reading chapter 1 and how they may have changed, then research and ask others about one of those ideas, and finally write an essay to help an audience of your choosing “learn a more accurate conception of writing that can positively impact how they engage with writing” (p. 26).

While the assignment asks you to reflect on multiple ideas, your essay will be focused on one or two of them.  Focus is an important feature of any good written piece. In addition, supporting your focused claim(s) with examples, evidence, or substantial reasoning will be very important.  Your support of the ideas presented in the essay should reflect your research and thoughtfulness approaching this assignment. Consider your audience as you think of focus and support.
