In this Essay, you will support a thesis with specific examples that you explain and analyze in your essay. So Essay 3 should build on the skills you’ve already been learning in the course. This assignment is a bit more challenging. Remember you don’t just describe something and you don’t tell a story about it. You want to instead use critical reasoning to support your main point. As a result, this essay will need to be a little more structured and organized. You need a clear central point (the thesis) with very specific paragraphs that articulate reasons and examples that your main point is valid and valuable. So this is a much more structured and linear assignment. Don’t use a story to support this thesis…use reason and analysis.Sometimes students make the mistake of throwing together a narrative or having lots of random ideas scattered over the paper. You need to be careful to clearly communicate a central idea and support that specifically. Be very intentional about making your paper prove your points and provide examples.
Just a reminder to be working on that third paper. And remember that you want to use REASONS, CRITICAL IDEAS, and CRITICAL EXAMPLES as support for your thesis in this Essay. This isn’t a narrative paper and sometimes students get confused and shift into a narrative. Don’t use personal anecdotes. Those aren’t the same as critical reasons and examples that you are explaining and analyzing to support your central claim. You CAN use personal pronouns or examples from your own life as long as they are framed critically and you are explaining/analyzing them NOT just retelling them. (: I hope that helps y’all keep the focus in the right direction.
