Select one thing we have seen or talked about in this Unit, which you personally think has been the most important and the most influential to modern society, culture, or civilization. Write a OnePage document, with well-constructed paragraphs, defending your selection. Describe, in detail, the reasons why it is influential or important.
I’ll be looking for several things in your response:
Have you written in proper English, and proofread your paper? Are there spelling errors, slang, grammar mistakes, or sloppy writing? I check. You will get a poor grade if you write poorly.
.
Is your paper formatted exactly as the Assignment Specifications Document requires? If not, then make sure it is. Line spacing, Font size, Margins, Title Block, Page Title, and all of those details. I will take off major points if you do not follow the Assignment Specifications Document.
Have you selected more than one thing? If you did, then you have not followed instructions. This paper is not about writing. It is about editing.
.
Have you presented evidence to back up your claim? Do not have to give a full citation, but instead say something like “Whatsisname wrote, ‘blah blah blah” as long as you don’t do it more than once or twice. Try not to do it at all. You should say things like “the research has shown” or “there is evidence to suggest” which would be much better.
.
Did you select a defensible choice?
.
Did your defense make connections to modern things?
.
Think and write carefully. The best way to do this might be to write a draft. Edit and revise to get the paper the way you want it, proofread, and then proofread again before you submit. This is a college course, and you are expected to be able to write properly. That means no slang, and no colloquialisms. Do not refer to yourself at all. You are not part of the topic of this assignment.
