Writing Skills II, Homework for Week 5

Complete your essay for submission in our next class (if you will not be submitting an essay this time, try to at least brainstorm/come up with an outline of what you would do). The topic of this essay assignment can be found in my previous posts for the class. Essays must follow these guidelines, otherwise they will not be accepted:
1. Essays need to be between 300-500 words. Do not exceed 500 words (this is an exercise in editing if you find that you are over this boundary).
2. Essays must be in 12-pt font and double spaced. (This is crucial for my remarks and corrections.)
3. Your submission must include a print-out of the essay your are analyzing rhetorically. (Otherwise, I have no context for it.)
4. Essays must be submitted printed out and submitted in our class. I'm afraid I can't make any exceptions given the sheer numbers of students I have this semester. This means no late or online submissions, unless you provide a doctor's note. If you are missing class in week 5 for another reason, your essay must be submitted by another person in class, otherwise I will not accept it for this deadline (you can always turn it in for the next essay assignment).
5. I will stop correctly any essay that has not first gone through an English spell check. Make sure that your word processor is on the English USA/UK setting when you are writing or use online spell check websites like this one: https://www.jspell.com/public-spell-checker.html
There is simply no excuse for not running your essay through a standard spelling and grammar check PRIOR to submission.
6. It goes without saying that plagiarizing this assignment is a waste of everyone's time and will result in not being admitted to the exam.

This semester I have 115 writing students (the limit on BASIS was 75). Please respect the fact that I have accomodated all of you by strictly following the guidelines outlined in the six points above. This will result in us having the opportunity to write as much as possible and for me to provide you with personalized feedback.
