Final Self-Assessment: Rough Drafttag:jerz.setonhill.edu,2008:/teaching/la100/2008//13.75372008-11-20T16:05:00Z2008-11-19T15:28:42ZDennis G. Jerzhttp://jerz.setonhill.edu This is 3-4 page essay. Like any essay, come up with a thesis statement that makes a specific, debatable claim, and back up your claim with evidence (in the form of very brief, direct quotations from your work, reading assignments, the comments I leave on your papers, etc.).
This is really Individual Learning Plan draft 5, but we have to give it a new name, since there isn't any time left to "plan" your individual learning.
For guidance, take a look at my comments on ILP3
and ILP4, noting that the evaluation rubric asks you to make explicit
reference to how your results on the MyCompLab pre-test guided your
choice of additional MyCompLab exercises. ]]>

Length: 2-3 pages. Persuade your reader by presenting the pro and con.
Title: Include the topic and your precise opinion.
Introduction: You might begin with a brief anecdote, a quotation, a definition, or something else your reader needs to know up front. You might also begin right away with your thesis statement.
While you may write it last, the first thing your reader encounters should be a thesis paragraph that lays out your blueprint. (Are you going to give all your reasons AGAINST, then all your reasons FOR, and then synthesize in a conclusion? Are you going to say the issue hinges on three factors -- such as personal, social, and professional preferences, and then give the pro and con for each factor? Will you need to begin with a paragraph that sets the scene, defines terms, or emphasizes the stakes?)
Make sure you have written an introduction that includes a reasoning blueprint,
or a road map, or at least a list of your main points -- something that
will help the reader understand where each part fits in the overall
scheme of your paper.
Body: You may not know what shape your paper will take until after you've drafted it, but before you submit the draft, make sure the body of your paper follows the plan you laid out in the introduction. (It may be easier to change the introduction to match whatever body you end up writing.) ]]>
