Choose one of the options for your essay. The two article choices are attached.

There is no length requirement. Aim to offer a clear but concise summary using the methods we’ve been practicing.

Option 1: Carefully read “There’s a Perfect Number of Days to Work From Home, and It’s 2” by Amanda Mull. Plan and sketch an outline and then a draft responding to this prompt.

Prompt: Identify the main point Amanda Mull is making and then summarize the argument, noting all the reasons and evidence given to support the main argument.

Remember all the techniques from Chapters 1, 2, and 3 as you plan and draft. View the information on citing in the lesson.

Option 2: Carefully read “Should Young Americans Be Required to Give a Year of Service?” by the New York Times Editorial Board.

Plan and sketch an outline and then a draft responding to this prompt:

Remember all the techniques from Chapters 1, 2, and 3 as you plan and draft. View the information on citing in the lesson.

Your paper will:

• Summarize using techniques from Chapters 1, 2, and 3. Your goal is to describe the author’s main argument and how they support it. Avoid ‘listing’ and avoid interjecting your opinion or own argument at this stage. Focus on summarizing the argument and support and making connections between the main argument and support.

• Stick to the text and avoid generalizations and assumptions. Use no other sources.

• Be in MLA format. Cite using MLA. See information in this lesson.

First, review the articles. Then select one, read and annotate before outlining and drafting.

Steps for Sketch Outline (do a sketch outline or planning sheet before starting your first draft)

Step 1: Create bullet points structuring the introductory paragraph. Include pertinent information to introduce your topic. You should have a draft thesis statement that addresses the entire writing prompt. You don’t have to do this work first, but it should be in your outline.

Step 2: List the information you plan to use in your first body paragraph. Include evidence to support your thesis’ claim, such as examples, paraphrases, and quotes and show why the example strongly supports your thesis. Use bullet points.

Step 3: Repeat Step 2 to outline the other body paragraphs. You will likely have 2 or 3 body paragraphs for this outline and essay.

Step 4: Introduce a last set of bullet points to discuss in the conclusion to wrap up your essay, but don’t simply repeat everything you have written thus far.

These steps lead to an outline for you to work with. Take the steps and draft an essay.

Be sure to cite every paraphrase and quotation in your essay. You should be quoting using the methods in Chapter 3.

Use your sketch outline or planning sheet to draft.
