For your first writing assignment, you can choose any topic that is of interest to you.  You can choose something related to Units 1-2 if you need some guidance. Dreams can and does come true, however, in recent years have that changed? Why or why not?  You can also write about how the educational system can limit the dreams that can have or anything related to achieving one’s dreams.  You should try to stay away from writing about your own dreams as it makes for a less interesting read.

Remember to make sure your introduction appeals to the reader by including a hook sentence, question, or fact.  Also, you should include a brief background of the subject.  Don’t assume the reader knows anything when you write. And lastly, don’t forget to clearly state your thesis, the focus of your paper.

Use font sizes between 10-12.  Do not italicize, bold, underline, or color your texts.  Indent each paragraph.  Refer to the writing technique sheet handed out in class.  Review the feedback you received from your classmates and make necessary changes.  Do not overly use “I” in your paper as it’s a turn-off to the reader. And do not use single or double quotation marks for emphasis as this is an incorrect use of quotation marks.

There’s no page limit to this writing assignment but you should at least try to write a page. It’s really difficult to defend your thesis in less than a page.
