Given two topics from which to choose, you will have 60 minutes to compose an essay without the benefit of references or resources. This assignment is worth 100 points.
The essay must be 400 to 500 words long and consist of four or five paragraphs, including:
An introductory paragraph with a thesis statement
Body paragraphs supporting the thesis statement
A concluding paragraph
Prewriting and outlining (the first two steps of the writing process we’ve discussed over the last two modules) can help you develop the key components that need to be included in these paragraphs; for example, the introductory paragraph should include your hook and thesis statement.
