This is a short essay max 500 words please read to attached files – this is very important.
This means that you may opt out of two of the four short essay opportunities; this is
also one from each group. Short essays cannot be handed in late, and I will only mark the
first two essays you hand in, so choose the essays that have the subject matter and timing
that work best for you. This requires a certain amount of self-awareness on your part.
Because these are short essays (responses, even), you will need to be mindful of filler
and empty words. In a response that is only 500 words, you do not need a full introduction
or conclusion, and the essays may not require a traditional thesis. Read the essay prompts
carefully to be sure that you are doing what you are asked to do in the space you have. If
you have questions about an assignment, be sure to email and ask for help or clarification.
These responses are designed to give you an opportunity to engage with the course
materials in a deeper way, and to submit formal work for marking. Unlike the discussions
and the journals, these assignments are considered formal, and you should write
accordingly. You will be graded on your ability and willingness to engage with the ideas,
but also on your sentences and composition. Therefore, these should not be completed at the
last minute. You should leave yourself time to think about and revise your work before you
must submit it.
These assignments may ask you to examine a single text or texts supplied by your
instructor. If you find it appropriate to quote the source text, you should use appropriate intext citations and be sure to include a works-cited page.
