Stance Essay
Due Week 10 and worth 230 points
Congratulations! You made it to your final assignment, and you have learned so much along the way.
In the personal essay, you learned how to write with a strong personal voice.
In the informative essay, you learned how to write objectively and support your points with credible sources to inform the audience.
Now in your final assignment, you will combine these writing techniques to write a stance essay. A stance essay takes a position on a topic and argues and supports that position with evidence. Consider your topic:
What possible positions/arguments are there?
What position resonates with you? (Which position do you believe is correct?)
What are your main points?
What are the counterpoints? Are you ready to dispute them?
Do you have enough evidence to effectively support your argument?
For the stance essay, your personal voice (your perspective) should come through. This is just like assignment 1, except you should maintain a formal tone. And just like assignment 2, you will need to support your points with credible sources. You’re ready to take a position on the topic you have been writing about and to be persuasive!
INSTRUCTIONS:
Compose a three-four (3-4) page paper in which you do the following:
Use third person point of view (POV) and the appropriate voice and tone throughout your paper.
Did you use third person pronouns? (he, she, they, their)
Does your personality carry over in your writing? Are your word choices personal and consistent? Is the tone formal?
Does it express your attitude about the topic?
Write an introduction paragraph, which includes your thesis statement. It is suggested that this paragraph contain 5-7 sentences.
Does your introduction include solutions or approaches on the topic?
Does your thesis statement include three supporting reasons that clearly express your stance on the topic?
Is your thesis statement clear and concise?
Does your introduction provide a preview of the rest of your essay?
Write a supporting/body paragraph for each of the three (3) points/reasons from your thesis statement. It is suggest- ed that each paragraph contain at least 5-7 sentences.
Do your body paragraphs support each point of your thesis with relevant examples or statistics?

Joining the ConversationIn college writing, it is important that.docxjesssueann
Joining the Conversation
In college writing, it is important that you can express yourself clearly and concisely. However, it is often not enough to simply explain what you're thinking. It is often necessary to explain how your ideas and arguments relate to the ideas and arguments offered by other writers. In other words, writing is a type of conversation, and in this lesson, you will begin learning how to join that conversation.
Student Learning Outcomes addressed in this unit:
Write in a style appropriate to audience and purpose
Demonstrate knowledge of indivdual and collaborative writing processes
Develop ideas with appropriate support and attribution
Use Edited American English in academic essays
Read, reflect and respond critically to a variety of texts
Vocabulary for Unit 3
These are the vocabulary words for this unit. Remember to incorporate them into your Discussion Board in this unit.
Conviction Impression Misconception Perspective
Profound Inherent Inveterate Amenable
Impinge Subversion Aesthetic
Lesson: Active Reading
When you participate in a conversation with a group of people, you must first listen to what the group is saying and understand their ideas and opinions before you can put in your own two cents. A written conversation works much the same way. Before writing about or responding to any text, you must begin by reading carefully and actively. This lesson introduces you to those skills.
Quoting, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing
For many writing assignments, you will be required to use source material in your essays. Using source material can strengthen your writing because it shows that you have found evidence to support your main points from other writers. There are several different ways to incorporate source material into your writing: quoting, paraphrasing, summarizing, and a combination of any or all of the above.
When Should You Quote, Paraphrase, or Summarize?
Whether you decide to use quotations, paraphrases, or summaries depends on a number of different factors. Here are some suggestions for how to decide which to use:
You should include
quotations
when
The author’s credentials will give your paper credibility
It is worded in a powerful, poignant way
The wording is very technical and difficult to translate
You should include
paraphrases
when
The source material is important but the wording is not (like facts and statistics)
The writer is not an expert in the field that would give your paper more credibility
You should include
summaries
when
The overall argument or main ideas are important but the details are not
The source materials needs to be shorter than the original
How do I quote, paraphrase, and summarize?
Steps for Quoting
Make a Quotation Sandwich
Start with an introduction to the quote saying who says it and giving the author’s credentials.
Give the quote. Don’t ...
