Homework Assignment Instructions
Upon
reading the Essay 2 prompt, you will consider your position on the essay
topic. Your task for this Module 5
Homework Assignment is to submit an introductory paragraph with
a thesis statement regarding the above essay topic. Remember that a thesis is the claim or main
idea or premise of an argument, so you will submit your claim in this
Module 5 Homework Assignment. For some information about writing
thesis statements, please readTips and Examples for Writing Thesis
Statements (Purdue Online Writing
Lab).
Since
you have to submit a thesis statement for this assignment, it will help to
include an introductory paragraph. Remember that a thesis statement (your
claim/argument) is usually placed toward the end of the introductory
paragraph. By including your thesis statement in your introductory
paragraph, you allow your reader to understand your argument early in the
essay. Once you have an introductory paragraph with a strong thesis
statement, the remainder of your essay will flow better.
Part II: Using Appeals
After
you have written your introduction and thesis statement, you should consider
what you will use in order to convince your audience. For each – ethos, pathos, and logos – write a
paragraph in which you describe how you would use this appeal in your essay.
