ENG 115 Week 3 Assignment 1: Personal Essay
Due Week 3 and worth 100 points
You have a wealth of experiences, knowledge,
and opinions that make you who you are. For your first assignment you will
share your opinions and/or experiences to write a personal essay.
What is a personal essay? It’s one of many
types of formal essays. All formal essays maintain the same basic structure:
Introduction with a thesis statement, supporting paragraphs, and conclusion.
The personal essay is a narrative in which the author writes about an
experience that was highly meaningful (usually a lesson was learned) or about a
topic that they have an opinion about. For this assignment, choose a topic and
discuss three reasons why the topic is important to you. The topic choices are
presented in your webtext.
ENG 115 Week 5 Assignment 2: Step 1: Informative Essay –Draft
Draft Due Week 5 and worth 50 points
Have you ever needed just the facts?
At times a formal, objectively written
approach is more appropriate or even critical for establishing credibility so
that your audience will listen and get informed! The key to informative writing
is making the shift from personal opinion to objective facts. This assignment
will provide you with the important opportunity to practice making this shift
to a style that is required in so many workplaces and throughout your academic
program.
For this assignment, you will write an
informative essay on the topic you have previously chosen. You will need to
identify a problem, need, or process related to your topic. Then you will
inform your audience and provide supporting evidence from a minimum of two
credible sources that have been provided in the webtext. Keep in mind, you will
continue to use the standard essay format: Introduction paragraph with a thesis
statement, body paragraphs that specifically support the points in your thesis
statement, and a conclusion paragraph.

ENG 115 Week 10 Assignment 3: Stance Essay
Due Week 10 and worth 230 points
Congratulations! You made it to your final
assignment, and you have learned so much along the way.
- In the personal essay, you learned how to write with a strong
personal voice.
- In the informative essay, you learned how to write
objectively and support your points with credible sources to inform the
audience.
Now in your final assignment, you will
combine these writing techniques to write a stance essay. A stance essay takes
a position on a topic and argues and supports that position with evidence.
Consider your topic:
- What possible positions/arguments are there?
- What position resonates with you? (Which position do you believe is
correct?)
- What are your main points?
- What are the counterpoints? Are you ready to dispute them?
- Do you have enough evidence to effectively support
your argument?
For the stance essay, your personal voice
(your perspective) should come through. This is just like assignment 1, except
you should maintain a formal tone. And just like assignment 2, you will need to
support your points with credible sources. You’re ready to take a position on
the topic you have been writing about and to be persuasive!
INSTRUCTIONS:
Compose a three-four (3-4) page paper in
which you do the following:
- Use third person point of view (POV) and the appropriate voice and
tone throughout your paper.
- Did you use third person pronouns? (he, she, they, their)
- Does your personality carry over in your writing? Are your
word choices personal and consistent? Is the tone formal?
- Does it express your attitude about the topic?
- Write an introduction paragraph, which includes your thesis
statement. It is suggested that this paragraph contain 5-7 sentences.
- Does your introduction include solutions or approaches on the topic?
- Does your thesis statement include three supporting reasons that
clearly express your stance on the topic?
- Is your thesis statement clear and concise?
- Does your introduction provide a preview of the
rest of your essay?
- Write a supporting/body paragraph for each of the three (3)
points/reasons from your thesis statement. It is suggest- ed that each
paragraph contain at least 5-7 sentences.
- Do your body paragraphs support each point of your thesis with
relevant examples or statistics?
- Do you address the opinions or concerns that your audience might
have?
- Did you paraphrase, quote, or summarize properly to
avoid plagiarism? Did you comment on each quotation?
- Write with logic and with transitions throughout your paper.
- Are your ideas consistent and well-organized, i.e., chronological
order or order of importance?
- Do your ideas flow from one sentence to the next
and one paragraph to the next, in the order presented in your thesis
statement?
- Write a conclusion paragraph. It is suggested that this paragraph
contain 5-7 sentences.
- Did you paraphrase or restate the thesis in a new way?
- Did you leave a lasting impression, so that your
readers continue thinking about your topic after they have finished
reading?
- Apply proper grammar, mechanics, punctuation and APA formatting throughout
your paper.
- Did you check your grammar?
- The way words are put together to make units of
meaning: Sentence structure, pronoun-agreement, etc.
- Did you check your essay for mechanics?
- All the “technical” stuff in writing: Spelling, capitalization,
use of numbers and other symbols, etc.
- Did you check the punctuation?
- The “symbols” used to help people read/process
sentences the way you want them to be heard and understood:
Periods, question marks, commas, colons, etc.
- Did you format according to APA style? (See
requirements below.)
APA FORMATTING REQUIREMENTS:

student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the
