Assignment Task
Gender and Sexuality
1) Use a question about topic to create a clear thesis. Thesis should answer this question.
2) Always start with a hook to grab the attention as early as possible.
4) If dealing with literature, make sure to include title(s) and author(s) in proper format
5) Three sentence minimum—find a way to bulk it up with excitement, insight, and intrigue
6) Clearly state your point (thesis)
7) Make thesis last sentence in your paragraph and ALWAYS consider revising/enhancing it once essay is complete
BODY:
8) Each paragraph needs topic sentence that supports your thesis
9) Begin incorporating quotations (steer clear of using quotations in intro and conclusion)
10) Quotations require proper citations
11) Incorporate variety of transitional phrases that match your tone and intention
12) Conclude ideas, but ensure they connect to your next
13) Organize paragraphs around your points (that are in support of your thesis)
CONCLUSION:
9) Restate thesis towards beginning of final paragraph
10) Draw connection to a universal message that your essay has proven or discovered
11) Include final thoughts that leave lasting impression
12) Remain confident and self-assured
GENERAL:
13) MLA format rules apply
14) Tense must stay consistent (narratives typically told in past, while academic rhetoric told in present)
15) Avoid retelling the story or summarizing events
16) Remember formal and academic language (this is not a text message or social media post)
17) Numbers ten and under are written out (“ten” vs. 10)
18) Avoid “I believe”, “I will explain”, “In this essay…” and all first-person language.
19) Use variety of vocabulary choices, but do not choose words that don’t fix the context. The thesaurus is not always your friend.
20) Vary sentence length and fluency. Simple sentences have a place, just like complex sentences do.
