  • Title: “Advocating for Change, Preference, and Action: Practicing the 8-Sentence Paragraph Format”

    Practicing the 8-sentence paragraph format helps you solidify its rhetorical objectives: claim, give evidence, explain the connection between evidence and claim.
    Paragraph 1: claim that a change should be made. (You only have 8 sentences. It is a lot more manageable to argue for a change to your church’s coffee hour than to argue for a change to the constitution.)
    Paragraph 2: argue in favor of one option over another. (Again, in a short format like this, it is easier to argue for your favorite pizza topping than your favorite political candidate.)
    Paragraph 3: suggest that people should try something. (The trick here is not to directly address “you,” the reader.)
    Requirements: In one document with a single APA cover page, write 3 paragraphs using the 8-sentence format. Make sure each paragraph begins with a strong, debatable, appropriately qualified claim.

    I wear my bedclothes

  • “My Journey with ‘The Climb’: A Personal Reflection on the Impact of a Song”

    Pick a song that personally connects with you (because you have found it to be especially meaningful, emotionally stirring, thought-provoking). If possible, pick one that you can at least generally remember the first time you heard it–that is, remember the context of your first time hearing the song. And when I say, “heard it”, I mean heard it, not simply heard it.
    Next, write a personal reflection essay on your relationship with the song with a focus on your first noteworthy experiences with the song and how it has impacted you, detailing how and why the song struck you and how the larger context of those moments of contact influenced how you reacted to and interpreted the song. If you like, you may even then discuss how your relationship/interpretation of the song has evolved over time and how later experiences you have had contributed to you seeing the song in a new or modified light.
    Thus, the story of your experiences with the song will constitute the way you will be framing your paper. Be sure to highlight and quote specific lyrics related to the song’s meaning and/or aspects of the song’s instrumental composition so that the relationship between your interpretations/reactions to the song and the larger contexts you describe from your life are clear.Pick a song that personally connects with you (because you have found it to be especially meaningful, emotionally stirring, thought-provoking).
