Writing Skills I, Homework for Week 8 (Next Meeting on June 1st)

Over the next two weeks, I would like you to produce an essay that is either a revision of one of the first two essays you produced in the class OR your own essay inspired by the "Mann, sind wir weich geworden!" essay you received in class today (you could even convert this essay into a more traditionally argumentative essay, like the ones we've practiced so far in class). I recommend the former assignment if you received a lot of corrections to the essays you've turned in thus far and the latter assignment if your performance has been strong with minimal corrections. To those of you correcting essays from the past two weeks, please DO NOT simply type my corrected sentences into the old document and turn it in anew. The idea is to look at that old work with fresh eyes and make suitable changes to word choice, sentence structure, grammar, paragraph organization, and thesis formulation.
