Some of these topics ask for personal experience/situations. If at all possible, avoid “I” and “me.” For example, if you choose to describe your neighborhood use description that reveals what anyone might notice about the place. Above all for any of these topic choices, remember that you must have a thesis with a controlling idea for the essay.
Classification and division: Do not use existing categories. Create your own. For example, if you were classifying physicians you would not want to classify them according to their field of study. That is how doctors are often classified. Instead, you could classify doctors according to where they work: private practice office, office in a hospital, office in a clinic, or doctors without an office (doctors without borders). Consider other unique ways to classify doctors. Think about the classification learning activity.
Write an essay classifying the teachers or bosses you have had. Use distinct categories and give each a name. Be sure your essay has a thesis that makes an assertion about why people would want to put the teachers or bosses in these categories. Think about what can be accomplished by considering the categories (classes).
What fashion styles have you observed lately? Write an essay classifying people based on how they dress. Each body paragraph could address a different class/category, so you would need enough distinct categories to construct your essay. Be sure to name each category. Do not be disrespectful when choosing your categories.
Other choices include classifying drivers, pets, hairstyles, vacations, shoppers, status symbols or snack foods. Be sure to clearly define your categories and include a thesis at the end of the introductory paragraph that makes an assertion about the categories.
Description: Remember that with descriptive writing the details of your essay must work together to create a dominant impression. For example, if you wanted to describe your home, what would be the dominant impression that all the points made in the essay should combine to support? The thesis may be just a statement of the dominant impression, or the thesis may go further and make a point about that dominant impression.
Describe a place where you have traveled (perhaps on vacation). Again, as with all the descriptive topics, do not simply describe the place. The essay should work to support a dominant impression about the place.
Suppose you travel to Mars and meet an alien? Describe Earth to the alien. Alternatively, describe your neighborhood.
Describe the happiest, sadist, or most frightening place you can think of.
Describe an object or person that has special significance to you.
Exemplification: Give the examples something to prove by using clear, strong thesis statements and topic sentences.
Write an essay establishing that you are an optimistic or pessimistic person. Use examples to support your case.
If you could change three or four things about WGTC or at WGTC what would they be? Tie the changes together in the thesis statement. Alternatively, write about changes in your work place, high school, or all schools in general.
With the presidential elections coming up, voters should consider what the candidates stand for. What issues should voters find most important? Give examples of the issues or why the issues should be important. For example, healthcare could be an example of an issue, but more specifically what about healthcare? A more specific example might be affordable prescriptions.
What makes a student, parent, or employee successful?
People often idolize sports figures, musical artists, or film celebrities. What makes any of these icons so appealing?
How do you envision yourself in the future? What does your perfect life look like? This could be a perfect life for anyone and not just you. Make a claim in your thesis and use examples to support your thesis and/or topic sentence claims.
You may choose to write a variation on one of those topics, or you may use a topic from these sections of your textbook: “classification” or “description.” You may use one of the topics listed in the PowerPoint that covers “exemplification (illustration).” Allow me to approve your topic to make sure you can develop it using your chosen rhetorical strategy.
Overview
For this final project you will continue with the social issue that you selected (language and power; freedom and security; health and wealth) and you will write an essay where you discuss your perspective. You will use the ideas and information from the summary-response and the quote log to write your case study. You will submit a first draft and a revised draft of this assignment.
Content
Describe a “real life” instance of your selected social issue in a professional or a personal setting.
Discuss your perspective on your selected social issue, including the reasons for your viewpoint.
Discuss how your core values inform or influence your perspective on your selected social issue.
Demonstrate that you are really thinking about your issue—don’t settle for easy answers, don’t pretend that conflicting evidence doesn’t exist, and don’t feel that you have to take an either-or position.
Discuss the complexities of your selected social issue. For example, do not just conclude that using academic language is always good, or that government surveillance is always bad, or that wealth automatically leads to health. Think about the intricacies of these issues and how they play out in everyday life.
Organization
Include an introductory paragraph, where you clearly outline a “real-life” instance of your social issue and you give a thesis statement that indicates your perspective (see Part 2: Writing Your Introduction for an example).
Include three body paragraphs where you include details, examples, and quotes from at least three of the course readings to help you develop and support your key points (see Part 3: Writing Your Body Paragraphs. for an example).
Include one body paragraph where you discuss how your core values inform or influence your perspective on your selected social issue (see Part 3: Writing Your Body Paragraphs. for an example).
End your essay with a concluding paragraph where you restate your thesis, summarize your key points, and leave the reader with the “so what?” ( see Part 4: Writing Your Conclusion for an example).
Grammar and Mechanics
Your paper should be written according to the standards for academic writing, with attention to the following:
punctuation: this includes things such as proper use of commas, colons, and apostrophes.
word-level accuracy: this includes things such as proper capitalization, spelling, word-tense, and usage.
sentence-level accuracy: this includes things such as proper sentence boundaries, subject-verb agreement, and pronoun-antecedent agreement.
Take time to proofread after you’ve written your essay. Think about the kinds of writing mistakes you tend to make (like using “text-speak” or sentence fragments) and watch out for those. Reading your paper aloud is a good way to catch any mistakes.
Sources and Documentation
You are required to use three sources for this assignment. Your sources should be selected from the assigned course readings on your selected issue (language and power; freedom and security; health and wealth).
Your paper should use APA-style documentation for in-text citations. You do not need to complete a reference page.
Format and Length
Your paper should include a proper header and title.
Your paper should be typed, double-spaced and in 12-point font.
Your final product should be a minimum of six paragraphs (about 900-1100 words) in length. However, the quality of the content of this essay is most important. Be sure to fully answer the prompt.

Develop an interpretive thesis that explicates Shakespeare’s development of a theme in A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Your essay should offer an engagement with some of the formal features we’ve discussed as you analyse your
play or poem (for example, plot, characterization, diction (word choice), verse form, alliteration/assonance,
figurative language (metaphor, simile, imagery), rhetorical figures, etc.), but you need not feel obliged to address
them all. Indeed you’ll need to narrow down your topic in order to come up with a coherent thesis and focus.
Required format: You must double-space, using 12-point Times New Roman. All margins must be 1-inch wide.
Your essay must have a specific, descriptive title. Do not put unnecessary blank spaces in the heading, and do
not use extra line spacing between paragraphs. Number your pages. Include a word count at the end of the essay.
Use MLA style for citations.
General Essay Guidelines:
Thesis:
A thesis is more than a general topic or an accurate description or paraphrase of a poem or play. It must
say something that would not be obvious to a reasonably intelligent person who has read the poem/play once or
twice. (Hence, you should read the poem/play many times while developing your thesis.) A thesis interprets,
rather than describes; it figures out how a poem/play says what it says. A thesis makes an argument about a
poem/play, which requires that you should be able to imagine debating your thesis with someone who wouldn’t
immediately agree with you, and imagine that you could marshal enough evidence to convince him or her.
Support:
A strong essay will go beyond the ideas discussed in class, extending them, refuting them, or arguing a
completely original idea. The argument itself should be clear and logically pursued. The essay should provide
many supporting examples, should analyze them carefully, and should explicitly tie them to an element of the
larger argument. The essay may also address and overcome potential counterarguments or counterexamples.
This includes acknowledging when a more obvious interpretation may contradict a more counter-intuitive
interpretation put forth by you.
Quotations:
DO NOT simply paraphrase or summarize the poem/play. Instead, make an interpretive, original
argument about it, using specific examples from the poem/play in support of your point. When including
quotations, use MLA format and provide line numbers in parenthetical citations (for plays, cite act-scene-line;
e.g., a quote from Act 1, scene 2, line 23 would be cited as (1.2.23). Make sure you devote at least as much
space to analyzing a quotation as you do to the quotation itself.
Organization:
As in any essay, you should frame your essay with an introduction that clearly states your thesis, and
end with a conclusion that emphasizes the importance of your argument. The paragraphs in between should
flow smoothly from one to another, and each should be unified around a specific stage in the development of
the thesis.
Language:
Grammar and usage should be correct, and the style varied and vigorous
