Essay Instructions

Minimum Length: Over 2 pages of double-spaced, size-12 text

Maximum Length: 4 pages (going over the max a little won't lose you any points in my class, but more is good only if it's correct and well written)

Grammatical Correctness: Grammar is the most important thing to me, and it's how most students end up failing essays. Pay attention to spell and grammar checks and use services like Grammarly.

Basic Essay Elements: Your essay should have the following elements:

1. a title

2. an introductory paragraph of no less than 5 compound-complex sentences

3. body paragraphs of at least 7 to 12 compound-complex sentences

4. a concluding paragraph of no less than 5 compound-complex sentences

Refer to the Writing Essays presentation in the Essays folder in Blackboard for more info on these elements.

MLA Essay Design: I have made instructional videos for how to format MLA papers in both Word and Google Docs. You can find them in the Essays folder. Do what they show you and make your paper look exactly like what you see. A significant portion of your grade depends on executing this properly.

Originality: I expect this essay to be 100% your own writing. If you choose to bring in outside sources (which I don't recommend at this point), I will grade your essay as a research paper, which means you must have correctly integrated quotes, along with properly executed MLA (not APA) works-cited and in-text citations.

Read my presentations in the Essays folder for more info on these important topics. Do not take material from the Internet or any other source and drop it into your paper without properly citing it! That is plagiarism, and it will get your essay an automatic 50 (first offense) or a 0 and reported to the Office of Academic Affairs (second offense).

When you have finished your essay, save it as a .docx or .pdf file and upload that file to the Essay 1 Dropbox in the Essays folder in Blackboard. If you need help figuring out how to submit your essay, I have a video in the Essays folder that can show you what to do.

The essay can be turned in late in Blackboard for up to 3 days after the due date, with a 5-point penalty for each day it is late.

Pick ONE of the following for your essay:

1. Choose an event from either childhood or now that you believe doesn't show you behaving at your best. Write an essay explaining what happened and how you now view that event. Would you change what you did? Why?

2. Explain how a certain ritual or ceremony is conducted in your religion. Make sure that someone of another faith will be able to understand the process and include a thesis statement that explains why this process is important to you or your faith.

3. Think about your room, home, or any other space that you feel represents you, that has your stuff, that displays the things you love, etc. Describe that space in an orderly fashion (clockwise from the door, front to back, etc.), focusing on the objects or elements that represent who you are and what's important to you.
