Essays should be provide information about an uncelebrated object or concept. The essays should introduce the topic thoroughly, present its importance to our society, life, or culture, and discuss how and why the object or concept remains uncelebrated or is considered uncelebrated. You may approach the development of the essay using any development pattern that best suits your goals for the essay. For example, you may wish to compare and contrast two related, uncelebrated objects, two objects that are similar but one is celebrated and the other is not. You may wish to write a narrative about your particular experience with an uncelebrated object. You might even choose to analyze the causes or effects related to an uncelebrated object. All essays must include a clear thesis statement that leads well-developed, clear, and cohesive body paragraphs toward a strong, compelling conclusion. Research is required. Essays must include the cohesive, appropriate application of at least THREE dependable, quality sources (books, eBooks, articles, websites, journals, magazines). Also, at least ONE IMAGE of the uncelebrated object is required in your essay. This image should be properly cited and embedded into your essay. Not sure how to embed images?

Students who write narratives may write in first person; all other essays should be written in third person, academic voice. ** Note: Third person point of view is more difficult, but MORE IN LINE with the academic writing expected of other classes and future college work.
