To complete this assignment, you will choose ONE of the following two questions and write a single thesis-driven essay in response. The requirements of the assignment are as follows:
You must clearly identify at the top of your essay which question you are answering (1, 2, or 3).
You must take a clear stance on the question you’ve chosen.
You must have an introduction, a body, and a conclusion.
You must incorporate at least two quotes from “The Value of Writing Well” into your essay. These quotes should follow MLA Format. If you are unfamiliar with MLA Format, you should Google “Purdue OWL” and search for the MLA guide to learn the ins and outs of the style. Here is a basic example:
“Writing well is not a gift” (Wax 1). (Basically, after putting the exact words in quotes, you put the author’s last name and the page number in parentheses and then you punctuate the sentence.
**Beyond these requirements, you may also use personal experience, common knowledge/common sense, and your own analysis to support your claims. This is not required but is often helpful when strengthening your argument.**
QUESTIONS (CHOOSE ONE!!)
Wax believes that improving as a writer helps you improve as a thinker and communicator. Where do you stand on this argument? ( I want you to chose this one)
A British communications consultant named Liam Fitzpatrick once said, “I don’t think being a good writer matters” in the professional world. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Take a position and explain.
Is being a good writer more or less important in the age of digital and social media? Take a position and explain.
**Keep in mind: when we talk about “writing” or “being a good writer,” we are NOT talking about handwriting and we are NOT talking about one’s grammatical skills (though this could become part of it) – when we talk about writing, we are talking about the ability to compose a written piece of communication, to get a point across clearly and effectively, etc.**
NOTE: PLEASE WRTITE IT WITH ESSY WORDS DONT USE TO STRONG WORDS AS MY ENGLISH IS NOT THAT PERFECT
