SPRING 2024 : PUBLISHED WRITING #1- 2 ARTICLES / 1 video
"The Science of Happiness" / Genetics / Culture/ Sense of Self
How Much Is In OUR Control?" PUB #1DUE: TUESDAY, 3/12 BY MIDNIGHT!!!!
DIRECTIONS: TOTAL OF 5 Paragraphs! This is a PUBLISHED WRITING PIECE and will be graded as a scholarly response. I will use the rubric titled "published writing rubric". This rubric is different from the formal essay rubric but all of the rules still apply. You are expected to write and publish as a scholar and use both in-text citation, topic sentences, concrete examples and implement all of the conventions of the English Language.
* I will ask that YOU UPLOAD it in Brightspace as an Assignment ..
IN ADDITION to COPY and PASTE it in the Discussion THREAD so others can comment.
Your published piece should be 5 paragraphs and INCLUDE A WORKS CITED PAGE . DO NOT FORGET IN TEXT CITATION.. This includes an introduction, body paragraphs and a conclusion. REVIEW THE WRITING CHECKLIST
After you publish your work. Please comment on another students response. How do I respond to another student? Evaluate a classmates response and either agree or disagree, connect something to the outside world or choose something you can connect to or elaborate on.
* Published Writing is worth 35% of your grade and you should treat published writing with as much respect as you would a physical paper you hand in .
Print and peruse the published writing rubric. This will help you gain a sense of how you will be assessed.
HERE IS THE MLA FORMAT Guideline - VERY HELPFUL!
