To prepare for this assessment, review the topic " Identifying Topic, Angle, and Purpose" in this module's lesson available in the LMS and the genre chart given on p. 23 of your textbook Writing Today. This chart will help you identify the appropriate genre for your essay.
Identify the Topic, Angle, and Purpose of an Essay
Draft an essay to address a problem in your local community. It can be any problem. For example, women's safety, public health, noise pollution, waste disposal, or any problem you want to write about.
Use concept mapping and other prewriting strategies, such as brainstorming, freewriting, and outlining to explore and narrow your ideas for the essay. Then explain the topic, angle, purpose, intended readers, and the genre you would use for your essay.
Write a rough purpose statement that shows what you want to communicate through your paper. Explain to your instructor why you think your approach to the essay would be effective for your readers.
After receiving comments and feedback from your instructor, revise the purpose statement and then submit it for final grading.
Submission Requirements:
You will get two attempts to work on this assessment. The instructor will provide you an interim grade on the first draft submission. You will receive your final grade when you resubmit the revised draft. The grade for the first submission will stand if you do not submit the revised draft to your instructor for final grading. Submit your essay in a Microsoft Word document of the following specifications:
Font: Arial, point 12, double spaced
Length: 2–3 pages
