For this order you will be focusing on writing a very well written paragraph for my final. This paragraph does NOT need to be and shouldn’t be an introduction paragraph. INSTRUCTIONS: You are asked to compose one well-constructed paragraph, with a topic sentence that crystallizes your point of view and with one or more specific supporting details or examples to illustrate that point of view. Here’s the prompt: “For this paragraph, you are asked to imagine that, as a graduate student or new instructor, you have been hired to teach a high school or college class, focused on literary analysis, research, and writing. After thinking through the entirety of the semester in our class, what component(s) of our class would you most like to incorporate into the class that you would design for your students? Possible topics include, but are not limited to those below.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU FILL THE WHOLE PAGE AS AN MLA HEADING USUALLY TAKES SPACE AWAY FROM THE WRITING. PLEASE WRITE AS IF THERE IS NO HEADING BECAUSE NEEDS TO BE A FULL PAGE AND THE HEADING MAKES IT LESS. THANK YOU.
