How it Feels to Write a College Level Essay


How it Feels to be ___________ Me
Due Monday, October 2

Purpose: 1) To explore one of your avowed or ascribed identities with a depth that surprises yourself and your reader. 2) To use this exploration to make a comment about society in general.

Excellent topics include identities that are unique to you, identities about which you are uncertain, and identities that are commonly misunderstood.

MLA format: Typed. Double Spaced. Twelve point. No blank lines between paragraphs, except to indicate a major shift in tone or setting. Include a header with your name and the page number on each page (except page one). Often, you will need to add a blank line above your name or it prints too high.

Three – five pages. Don’t forget a title.

Required: Include three rhetorical strategies of your choice, underlined and labeled.

Suggested: Close your essay with a powerful analogy.

Audience: 1) A reader who does not know you well. 2) A reader who is familiar with the personalities teens bring to the classroom. 3) Yourself.
