Explain how something should be done. Choose from your personal experiences, talents, or interests or choose from ideas, concepts, theories, or strategies you are learning in other courses. Your purpose is to describe something step-by step as clearly as possible for your audience by analyzing, showing relationships, and demonstrating with examples, facts, data, warnings, and reasons. Remember to provide a clear focus and to state a thesis. No recipes, please. Please submit multiple copies of the rough draft: one for you, one for me, and one for each member of your group. Submit only one copy of the final draft to me. All essays must be typed (double-spaced) on standard, letter-size paper. Please follow the formatting example on p. 776 in McWhorter. Essays will be graded on the 1-2-3 scale. For information on grading criteria, please refer to the course syllabus. Late work will be handled according to the rules in the syllabus. Remember that you may hand in only one late essay (including revisions). The following are unacceptable and will result in a rejection of the essay and a grade of zero (0): 1. Pages which are stained, folded, torn, crumpled, or otherwise damaged. 2. Paper sizes other than letter size. 3. Handwritten assignments
