Your assignment is to find a web resource about one of the topics in our readings and films this week and then write a short essay about it. You will post your short essay for your professor and classmates to read in our weekly discussion board. In a way, you are playing two roles this week. You are a student learning more about a topic, and you are a teacher telling us about that topic.
Obviously, you will need to pick a solid web resource with quite a bit of information in order to write a five-paragraph essay about it. Choose wisely. Don’t just pick from the first ones that pop up on a search. Browse a bit, find one with substance.
Do you need help with an APA-formatted reference for your source? CitationMachine is a very helpful website. Also, Purdue University has an excellent guide. You can find links to these resources in the “Toolbox” button on the left-side navigation bar.
Please write your five-paragraph essay based on the format you learned in our learning module last week. Be sure to edit and proofread your short essay before posting it to our weekly discussion board as your new thread for the week. A tip: If you copy and paste your essay into Blackboard, then it is easier for your classmates to access and you might get more replies. This is why it is better to copy and paste your main posting rather than attaching a file.
The parts of your new discussion thread:
A subject line that describes your new thread.
The APA-formatted reference for your web resource.
An introductory paragraph, including a thesis statement.
Three main paragraphs, each with an important point and supporting details/evidence/examples.
A concluding paragraph.
A subject line, an APA-formatted reference of the article, and five separate paragraphs.
