Modules 1-7: Full-Course Assignment
1) Throughout this course, you will work on writing a persuasive essay of 750–1,000 words (roughly three to five pages).
2) The essay-writing process is broken down into seven parts. Each part will be due in a different module and graded separately.
a) Topic and Audience (due by the end of Module 1)
b) Brainstorm (due by the end of Module 2)
c) Thesis Statement (due by the end of Module 3)
d) Outline (due by the end of Module 4)
e) First Draft (due by the end of Module 5)
f) Peer Review (due by the end of Module 6)

4) For this essay, you will begin by choosing a topic from the list provided in the “Persuasive Essay: Topic and Audience Worksheet.” If you would like to write about a topic that is not on the list, you may ask the instructor for permission.
5) Next, take a position on your topic by deciding if you are for or against the topic or agree or disagree with specific issues related to the topic. This would be considered the “writing prompt,” or what you will be responding to in your essay.

a) Manage emotions and avoid fallacies.
b) Provide evidence to support your position.
c) Acknowledge other perspectives and evaluate assumptions about the topic.
d) Use facts and figures when appropriate.
7) Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
