Transitions between major sections and the main points should be provided in the outline (enclosed in parentheses). Use transitions to move the audience’s attention from one section to another or from one main point to another.
Use a consistent pattern of indentation. Type main points flush with the left margin. Indent 5 spaces for 1st-order sub-points, 10 spaces for 2nd-order sub-points, 15 spaces for 3rd-order sub-points, 20 spaces for 4th-order sub-points.
Use the following system to label the points in the body:
Main Points: upper case Roman numerals [I, II, III, IV, V]

.ave you ever needed just the facts? At times a formal, objectively written approach is more appropriate or even critical for establishing credibility so that your audience will listen and get informed! The key to informative writing is making the shift from personal opinion to objective facts. This assignment will provide you with the important opportunity to practice making this shift to a style that is required in so many workplaces and throughout your academic program. For this assignment, you will write an informative essay on the topic you have previously chosen. You will need to identify a problem, need, or process related to your topic. Then you will inform your audience and provide supporting evidence from a minimum of two credible sources that have been provided in the webtext. Keep in mind, you will continue to use the standard essay format: Introduction paragraph with a thesis statement, body paragraphs that specifically support the points in your thesis statement, and a conclusion paragraph. INSTRUCTIONS: Compose a three-four (3-4) page paper in which you do the following: 1. Use third person point of view (POV) and the appropriate voice and tone throughout your paper. a. Did you use third person pronouns? (he, she, they, their) b. Do you sound impartial, informative/explanatory, and professional? How do you want your reader to feel? (trust, smarter/informed) c. Is the tone formal and factual? 2. Write an introduction paragraph, which includes your thesis statement. It is suggested that this paragraph contain 5-7 sentences. a. Does my introduction get the reader’s attention by using an intriguing statistic, quote, question, or scenario? b. Does my introduction explain the context and state the importance of the problem/issue? c. Does your thesis statement include three supporting reasons that can be debated from a different perspective? d. Is your thesis statement clear and concise? 3. Write a supporting/body paragraph for each of the three (3) points/reasons from your thesis statement. It is suggested that each paragraph contain at least 5-7 sentences. a. Do your body paragraphs support each point of your thesis with relevant examples or statistics? b. Do you address the opinions or concerns that your audience might have? c. Did you paraphrase, quote, or summarize properly to avoid plagiarism? Did you comment on each quotation? 4. Write with logic and with transitions throughout your paper. a.

Due Week 3 and worth 80 points
You have a wealth of experiences, knowledge, and opinions that make you who you are. For your first assignment, you will shar e
your opinions, experiences, and stories to write a personal essay.
What is a personal essay? It’s one of many types of formal essays. All formal essays maintain the same basic structure: Introduction
with a thesis statement, supporting paragraphs, and conclusion. The personal essay is a narrative in which the author writes about
an experience that was highly meaningful (usually a lesson was learned). For this assignment, choose a topic and discuss three
reasons why the topic is important to you. The topic choices are presented in your WebText. To make this a personal essay, it’s
important to include one or more stories from your life that demonstrate why your selected topic is meaningful to you.
Important note: Personal Essays DO NOT incorporate any type of research from the WebText or outside sources. If you have written
a Personal Essay in a previous course, please reach out to your professor to see if you can re-use it. You are not permitted to use ANY
paper from an unrelated current or past course.
INSTRUCTIONS:

Stance EssayDue Week 10 and worth 230 pointsCongratulati.docxdarwinming1
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?
Do you address the opinions or concerns that your audience might have?
Did you paraphrase, quote, or summarize properly to avoid plagiarism? Did you comment on each quotation?
Write with logic and with transitions throughout your paper.

Begin your paper here. Double space the entire document and be sure that you put two spaces between each sentence. Indent the first line of each paragraph between five and seven spaces by pressing the Tab key one time on the keyboard. Start with a strong introduction that includes a thesis statement (what the point of the paper is).
Then add at least three additional paragraphs of details that support your theme or thesis. These paragraphs should end with a sentence that transition to the next paragraph in order to create a paper that reads well and “flows” from one idea or concept to the next. Do not forget PIE: Proof, Information, and/or Evidence to support your points. PIE can be in the form of examples from your own life and/or citations from your resources.
End your paper with a strong conclusion. Think of the conclusion as the closing arguments presented by a lawyer to a jury. Include the most important points from your paper you want your reader to remember. Do not introduce any new ideas or topics in your conclusion. If you feel the need to add more content, go back and add that information to the body of your text.
Happy writing!
