ENC 1102 Paper 2 Prompt – Yoshino, Singer, and Arora

Assignment For this assignment, your task is to write a focused, expository paper that develops and argues your ideas regarding the prompt. Read all of the prompt choices. More importantly, once you have selected one prompt, formulate your own ideas in response to the prompt.

Make sure you have brainstormed a thesis and supporting arguments (S.A.s) for the paper before looking back through the essays we have read. Finally, consider how ideas from Yoshino, Singer, and Arora can support your own ideas.

But remember, your ideas need to be spearheading your paper. Whereas, ideas from Yoshino, Singer, and Arora should act as evidence to strengthen and support your claims (you should give them the task of acting as an entourage to your ideas). In other words, you are not writing a literary paper to support, contradict, or analyze Yoshino’s essay, Singer’s essay, and/or Arora’s essay.

**You must use textual evidence from Yoshino’s essay, Singer’s essay, and Arora’s essay in your paper – and ONLY those three essays.

***No outside sources.

Choose ONE (1) of the following prompts:

• How do stereotypes affect individuals’ ability to obtain economic justice? • How does assimilation affect individuals’ ability to obtain economic justice?

*Note: Regardless of the prompt you pick, make sure you are addressing the entire prompt. Make sure you are answering all of it and not just writing away from it or writing against it.

Specifics • The heading should be single-spaced. It should appear in the upper left hand

corner of the paper and include: your name, the course name, the date, and the paper prompt choice (i.e. prompt choice #1).

• The essay should be in MLA format. It should be in Times New Roman, 12-size font. And it should have 1-inch margins all around.

• Your Rough Draft should either be a standard draft (approximately four pages long) OR a sentence outline (approximately 2-3 pages long). At the minimum, rough drafts must contain a thesis and three supporting arguments.

• Your Final Draft must be no less than 1,500 words. • You essay should contain a MLA formatted Works Cited page

*See pages 142-3 in the Hacker manual to learn how to cite all three essays and see page 160 to learn how to format a Works Cited page.

• All drafts should be proofread for error. Be sure to include correct in-text citations for all direct quotations and ideas that are paraphrased.

• Besides your own ideas, your only other sources should be the essays we have read for reading one.

• Make sure your essay includes textual evidence from ALL THREE ESSAYS. You must use Yoshino, Singer, and Arora.

• No outside sources (including, but not limited to, the Dictionary and any other Google search products)

• No block quotes. In other words, no quotes longer than four lines, from the left to the right margin.

• See the class schedule for rough draft and final draft due dates. • Your rough draft and final draft are due on Blackboard. The file extension must be

either .doc or .docx. • The thesis should be highlighted one color and the supporting arguments (S.A.s)

should be highlighted another color.

Evaluation Drafts will be evaluated to determine if you successfully:

• Utilize a focused, specific argument, backed up by textual evidence. • Utilize specific evidence from the text, cited properly, for analysis and explication

to support your claim. • Create a well-organized, complex analytical essay that avoids summary, polarized

positions, and reductive conclusions.
