The purpose of the Organization Essay is to apply the tools learned in Unit 3 on organization to write an essay that has both focus and shape.
Here are the details:
Do some brainstorming, freewriting, reaction, or any kind of pre-writing activity you like to come up with an essay topic. It could be a topic from your Reader Response Assignment in the last unit, or it can be a whole different topic. (Browse an online news website to get topic ideas if you’re stuck, or there are a few topic ideas at the bottom.)
When you get a specific topic, create a thesis using the Topic + Claim About Topic = Thesis formula in this unit. Also, consider the tools of audience and expectation for this essay. The audience is going to be your instructor, but you might be thinking of other readers as well. The expectation is this is a formal college essay.
Now that you have your thesis, spend some time thinking of at least 3 points to support the thesis. You should have at least 3 points for an essay this size, but no more than 5.
Develop an outline where you have your introduction, the body made up of 3 to 5 points, and a conclusion. (The outline does not need to be turned in.)
Now that you have an outline, you will write your essay. This is just a matter of writing in the details for each of your points that you listed in your outline.
After writing your essay, spend some time revising and editing. Are there points you want to add or go more in-depth with to support your thesis? Did you proofread for mechanical errors?
Give the essay a title.
This essay will be 2 full pages using the MLA formatting guidelines that you used in both of the previous assignments for unit 1 and unit 2. (These formatting guidelines are the same for all written assignments. If you can’t remember them all, go back to the Unit 1 Personal Narrative assignment description.)
You do not need to do any research for this essay. You may write on a topic you are familiar with, so you can use your own knowledge and experience to support the thesis. At this point, you may use all your own knowledge in developing the content of this essay.
