Homework for 10/18 - Due 10/20

You have a choice again for Writing Assignment #4.:

You may do an essay that follows the Cause and Effect approach:
Cause and Effect Essay:
Select a topic that means something to you that would explain WHY something is what it is - what caused it to be. If you can't think of something you are personally into, here are a few suggestions you might think about:

• The effects of peer pressure in our lives
• The effects of technological change over the last twenty years
• The effects of participation in athletic activities or competitions has had on your character
• How the "war on terror" has impacted our lives

Make sure you develop a personal insight that will form the basis of your thesis, and organize a discussion of the cause and effect relationship you want to highlight. The paper should be no more than three pages typed.

OR
Process Analysis Essay:
If you choose this, you can explain to me how your reader might go about doing something you think you know how to teach. Again, if you can think of something on your own, go with it, but if you need some ideas, you can choose from these topics:

How do you think young men and women should choose the career path that is right for them? If you are pretty sure of what you want to do, how have you chosen your path, and what could others learn from what you have done? Or if you are not yet sure, how do you envision yourself making your way along the road to the future?

The paper should be no more than three pages typed.

ALSO - for Thursday, bring your Argumentative Research Paper if you want to work on it in class, ask me any questions, etc.
