Writing English 2A: Spring semester final writing assignment・前期期末作文

Hello!

How are you? Here is the spring semester final writing assignment - writing a final paper based on your thesis statement and outline from writing assignment 3.

This assignment will be important because it will go directly from our writing assignment 3 (作文 3), so it is important that you do this one based on your topic in writing assignment 3.

Topics/themes

There is no set topic or theme with this assignment – but whatever topic you wrote an outline and thesis statement about in your writing assignment 3, there is one rule you have to follow: You have to write about the same topic for your final writing assignment. So as I have said before, the outline and thesis statement for this third assignment will be preparation for your final writing assignment. 

I said this on the handout and blogpost for writing assignment 3, but I will say it here again as a special rule: You can choose to write about something from the themes (テーマ) of writing assignment 1 or 2, but you cannot write about the same topic you wrote about before - you have to choose something different. For example, you have to write about a different person than what you wrote about before, or a different topic in the 1st or 2nd assignment themes.

Deadline (締め切り)

It will be July 18th (7/18), so I want you to bring in a first draft (下書き) of the thesis statement and outline next week (来週) in your notebooks in pencil. I will then review your work, and you can change things about the thesis statement and outline as you need to. Then you can write to the finish and turn it in on 7/18. 

While I can give you some in-class time to write, you will have to work on your writing outside of class to make it the best piece of writing you have ever made!

Good luck! I look forward to reading your great writing!
