Writing 2150t: Spring 2021

Writing Sample

I’m asking you to submit a writing sample for two very important reasons. First, this task will help you get more comfortable using the course website as well as our shared drive space. Secondly, since you will be working in groups this semester, I want to learn which students have similar writing abilities so that I can match you accordingly.

In class, you read this essay and discussed some of your own ideas about the topic. Then, you had 60 minutes to plan and write your own “This I Believe” essay. Now, I want you to revisit your writing (either later tonight or sometime tomorrow) and make any adjustments you need to make. Pay extra attention to the organization and clarity of your ideas. When you are happy with your work, type FINAL DRAFT at the top of your document. This assignment is due by the end of Friday, 2/5 (so midnight, Friday).

Remember:

This assignment will not be graded, but it will count towards your final homework grade, (so it’s either complete or incomplete).

Make sure you make all of your revisions in the same Google Doc, in your own folder, in the Class Drive. Please don’t email me your work. Downloading attachments can be tricky if we use different operating systems.
