Second Writing Assignment

 

 

Second Writing Assignment

 

For your second writing assignment, you must post one main post and a minimum of four mini posts on the blog for your peers to comment.  It can be about anything related to Units 8-10.  The purpose of writing is to give each student the freedom to express his/her ideas and thoughts in a safer environment, which hopefully will give us the opportunity to learn from each other.

 

The main post should be a paragraph and should contain some of your own thoughts about a subject, which may even include some facts you have researched about the subject.  Your main post should have a position and should seek other’s opinion about your subject.  It is each student’s responsibility to maintain their own main post as other students comment on them.  If you neglect your main post, it will die, so you want to make sure to comment periodically to what other students have commented.

 

The four mini posts should be a response to another student’s post.  Support your ideas with facts and logical reasoning as to why you think the way you do instead of assuming the audience understands.  You may post more than four mini posts. Remember, you don’t necessarily have to have the answers or solutions to the post, but rather, can help to add to the question or help clarify the main post.  Just let your ideas flourish and see where it takes you.

 

Remember to be respectful even if the contents of the post are different from the opinions of our own. Also, remember to write your name on each comment to receive proper credit.

 

The writing assignment will be graded on the following:

l  Completion of all five posts—did the student complete 1 main post and 4 mini posts?

l  Content—Were the comments well thought out with reason and logic? Do they add to the post rather than to take away from the main post?

 

Good luck!  I’m looking forward to reading all of your responses!

First Writing Assignment

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First Writing Assignment

In discussing humane or inhumane treatments of animals, it’s important to know the laws regarding animals’ rights and protection of your country.  What is considered humane or inhumane could be determined by the cultural context of each nation. For example, what kinds of animal cruelty are Koreans appalled about? What has been done about it?  What is considered animal cruelty or abuse?

The first writing assignment is to write a research paper on the laws and rights of animals.  What kinds of laws are there to protect animals? Are there any education required for adoption of cats and dogs? The animals that are in the shelters because someone threw their dogs away on the streets, how long can they stay at the shelter before they’re killed?

In addition, what are your thoughts on the laws related to animals? Are they current or outdated? What can be done about the lack of laws?

Your paper should be at least a page, single spaced or two pages for double spaced.  Anything shorter than that, it would be hard for you to express your complete thoughts and feelings onto paper. Your font should be no larger than 12 points.  For academic writing, Times Roman is a good font to use.

On the due date, please bring two hard copies printed to the class so that we can peer critique in class.
