写作和第二语言安置

在十大网络彩票平台大全，写作是一切的核心. 英语101写作, you will work on developing and refining the critical reading skills and analytical and argumentative writing skills that you will need and will develop through the rest of your Holy Family education. 

All of the sections of 写1 emphasize the same general skills for academic writing: reading critically; writing analytically; developing and sustaining an original argument; demonstrating grammar competency; and working through steps of the writing process such as brainstorming, 概述, 和修改. 作业会要求你总结, 分析, 合成, and evaluate non-fiction and literary texts from a variety of academic disciplines. 

Selecting the ideal section of 写1 for you involves reflecting on your learning needs: how well do you write independently? 你的写作需要多少支持和结构? Are you working on gaining key writing and reading skills or ready for the challenge of further developing and refining them? Answering these questions for yourself will help you to choose a section that provides the right balance of what support and challenge look like for you as a learner and for your reading and writing skills.  

Please read over the general descriptions of 课程 sections and sample assignments below. 然后在被建议人入学表格上注明你的指定部分. 

写1

如果符合以下条件，本节可能很适合你:

  • You feel comfortable choosing your own topic to research and write about for a paper;
  • You feel comfortable developing your own argument and coming up with a thesis statement for your paper, 有或没有支持的;
  • You have begun to develop a writing process, such as a method for brainstorming and 概述;
  • 每周写1-2页似乎是可以控制的;
  • You are ready to work on using more nuanced or complex argument types and structures;
  • You are able to move through the steps of the writing process at a quicker pace.

下面是一个在写作1部分使用的作业示例. 如果这个作业在你教授的支持下是可行的, 那么写作部分可能适合你:

写作1文学分析

Choose one of our short stories and write a thesis-based argument essay in response to the following prompt:

  • 这个短篇故事说了什么(主题)，它是怎么说的?
  • What importance does this story’s theme have for a problem or current event insociety today?
     

Your essay will include textual evidence from your chosen short story to support your interpretation and will include cited paraphrases or direct quotations from two (2) or more articles from reputable sources to support your discussion of the issue/current event to which you are connecting the story. 一定要养成“那又怎样”的习惯?”因素, meaning: why should we care about the insights we gain through this story into a problem or current event today?

Your essay should be at least 3 full double-spaced pages in length with 12-point Times New Roman font, 1英寸的利润率, 和双行距的MLA标题(name, 教授, 课程, 日期).

1 /写作指导

如果符合以下条件，本节可能很适合你:

  • 你还没有开始形成一个写作过程(头脑风暴), 概述, 等)，并希望更多的指导这样做;
  • You would benefit from more support in developing your own argument and writing your own thesis statements;
  • 你想花更多的时间在论文的基础上, 比如分段, 句子结构, 和语法; 
  • You find the prospect of writing 1-2 pages per week daunting and unmanageable;
  • You find developing your argument and finding enough to say in your papers difficult;
  • You would benefit from moving through steps of the writing process at a slower pace.

Below are examples of assignments that have been used in 1 /写作指导 sections. If either of these assignments feels doable with the support of your 教授, 但这并不容易, 那么写作指导部分可能适合你:

1 /写作指导 Cause and Effect Paragraph (first assignment of the semester)

A cause/effect paragraph is one which shows either the reasons or the results of something. 给出原因的一段话回答了这个问题，“为什么会发生这种情况??” A paragraph giving the effects answers the question, “What are/were the results of this?”

怎样才能写出好的因果关系段落?

它不是关于原因就是关于结果. 在一个段落中，你不能同时处理这两个问题. You should say early in your paragraph whether you are talking about causes or effects.

这是一个很容易在12句话的一段话中管理的话题.

它认识到形势的复杂性. 一个事件或情况往往不止一个原因, 结果往往不止一种. 结果可以是积极的，消极的，或者两者兼而有之. 

它足够详细. As with all good paragraphs, don’t make your reader guess what you want to say. 举例!

  • 一段9-12句话, 提出并支持证据, 评价, 政策索赔.
  • 你的听众是一个可能熟悉这个话题的人. 不允许做任何研究——你必须根据你的个人经验!
  • 你在描述某事. 用详细的信息和价值来支持你的论据.  在段落的最后，向听众解释号召行动的内容.
  • Any essay less than 9 sentences and more than 13 sentences will receive an automatic F.
  • 你必须有一个聪明的标题. You must submit the first and final drafts using APA Student Paper format with title page and page numbers: p. 400-
  • 以下是段落中必须包含的句子结构.
  • 你必须使用3项并行. 84-
  • 您必须使用一个句子[且只能使用一个]，并带有分号:p. 195[请勿使用32c]
  • You must use transition phrases to move from supporting point to supporting point: p.19-20
  • 你必须至少使用一个并列句. 252

指导文学分析论文作业概述:

In 750-1000 words, compose and support an argument about one of the stories we have read. 而不是试图掩盖整个故事, 关注一两个文学元素(人物), 冲突, 情节, 象征, 设置, 主题). This essay should be your original interpretation of the story; no outside sources—such as SparkNotes or Wikipedia—should be used.
指南:

  • Write a brief (2-4 sentences) introduction that “hooks” the reader and states the title and author of the work. 在引言的最后, provide an original thesis that asserts your argument/interpretation of the story.
  • 然后，文章的主体将为你的论点提供支持, 从故事中直接引用，并对其进行分析.
  • Avoid summarizing the story; assume the reader has read it.
  • Each paragraph should be focused on a key point that is expressed by a topic sentence.  
  • Make sure to 分析 the quotes thoroughly; in other words, 解释引文是如何支持你的论点的.
  • 最后解释你的论点的意义. 换句话说，我们可以从你对这个故事的解释中学到什么?\
