The first final project for this course is the creation of a writing plan. Writing is a craft that people spend a lifetime refining, and one that allows people to express themselves in various ways. Effective writing has the ability to shape and inform the opinions of its readers. The ability to articulate a message through writing is essential in any career. Something key to remember is that the writing process is never truly complete. In this assignment, you will select one of the provided readings and analyze it. Next, you will develop a claim about the information presented in that reading.
In the next assignment, you will support that claim through a critical analysis essay. There is no right or wrong claim. It is how you support your claim that makes your essay effective. The project has one milestone, which will scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. This milestone will be submitted in Module
3. The final submission is due in Module 5. In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
- Discuss stylistically appropriate writing strategies for various audiences, subjects, and purposes
- Identify main ideas, supporting evidence, and conclusions through critical analysis for utilizing these components in one's own writing - Interpret the writing process as a means for generating ideas, drafting, and revising for improving the quality and effectiveness of one's own writing
- Integrate appropriate and qualified evidence into one's own composition through effective research Prompt For this writing plan, you will analyze a reading and develop a claim about the intent of that reading.
