The first оn-demаnd, grаded writing yоu’ll dо for this clаss is meant to be a tool—both to assess what we need to focus on for this class and if you’re in the best place for your writing growth as a college student. A diagnostic essay is just one way to diagnose where we are at the beginning of the class and one way we can use to assess how we’ll move forward. In the next hour or so, please write an essay (minimum of 5 paragraphs) about 500-900 words on one (1) of the listed topics. Choose one of the following topics and compose a complete essay addressing it. (Use of “I” is allowed for the choices.) Discuss the importance of reading and in particular reading literature. Think of the literature that you have read so far in your life. What is your favorite piece of literature? Why is this piece so memorable to you? Who or what is your favorite character from literature, television, or the movies? Explain why he, she, or it is your favorite. If you could have lunch or dinner with anyone, fictional or real, living or dead, who would it be? Why would you have lunch or dinner with him/her/it? What would you serve? Why? What would you two discuss during the meal? Assignment Process: Take a few moments to collect your thoughts, even doodle a few ideas at the top of your paper if you like, before you begin. Consider making a scratch outline of your main ideas, in the order you might place them. Refer back to that regularly as you write. Try to create an opening statement or paragraph that will “hook” a reader. Be sure your ideas are addressing some aspect of the prompt. End the essay with a paragraph in which you reflect on what you said, or with questions of your own. Requirements: A thesis that answers the question and lists the reasons for your answer Explanations and support for your reason Your best grammar, punctuation, and spelling Enough paragraphs to adequately address the topic
