- It is due on Monday by the start of class, submitted to turnitin.com
- You can include images if you'd like, but that is not required.
- Only use the first person voice in the sections where you are talking about your experiences. The rest of the essay should not have first (I, we) or second (you) person voice at all.
The introduction:
- Start with a statement about your topic - this is not a "grabber" in terms of using a random quotation, rhetorical question, or dictionary definition!
- Preview your main points. There should be a clear sense of the topics you will cover in your first two body paragraphs.
- Name the counterclaim.
- Finish with your thesis. Note that the thesis is in the form of fact + opinion + so what / why / because, which in this case can follow the formula: visual images (help / hinder) understanding of complex issues because they (reason A) and (reason B).
- You do not need to name the different examples you will use in your introduction, but you can if you'd like.
The conclusion:
- Re-state the thesis
- Recap your main points, including your counterclaim
- Finish with a sense of the broader implications of your thesis. If your thesis is true, what else is true as a result? What warnings or hopes for the future does your essay suggest?
Good luck with it! I can't wait to read the results!
