"Get prepared to start a journey of enlightenment as you delve into the world of mystery. As you progress, you will soon become aware that all may not be as it seems. What you once found to be trivial becomes complex and intriguing. What you once did not understand becomes clear. And perhaps what once was clear becomes a little confusing. But enough talk for now, let us become Sequestered Amidst Terror." Sequestered Amidst Terror is an English activity designed to address a wide range of literary, cognitive, and word recognition arenas. From the start, students are introduced to a list of words that are commonly found on the high school SAT examination. From there they must go beyond simple memorization of definitions and analyze the meaning of words as they attempt to incorporate the words into a pre-written story. The story itself is filled with more words common to college entrance examinations. After choosing the words to complete the story, the student must then analyze some typical elements of the short story such as plot, character, theme, and interpretation of the title. After completion of the activity, the student will submit his or her analysis to be added to a list of other analyses. Every school has its own list and can view the lists of other schools so as to expand the possibilities for class discussions. Other activities that relate to the story include an essay analyzing the story and a real-time discussion of elements of the story. In the analysis, students learn the intricacies of essay composition and further their knowledge of an analysis essay. The student may compose an essay in either a freeform method with little restriction or a directed method which breaks up the essay composition into typical essay components.

Hamlet Hamlet Nevertheless, each type of essay is distinctive in its own right, and each (except for the contemplative) is standard fare in university courses. It might help to distinguish between purpose and form. The purpose of the expository essay is to explain something, and the purpose of the persuasive is to persuade your audience to accept your position. The form of the comparison and contrast essay consists of comparing and contrasting two ideas or things, and the form of the research and analysis paper consists of presenting evidence you have gathered in support of your thesis.

32. Who Am I?: Finding Identity & Voice In Composition, Beverly Faryna, 2002 Writing in the first person, particularly in essay composition, can be tricky. Writer Jim Collins says, Writing in the first person can infuse personality http://www.mala.bc.ca/~soules/eng315/textbook/faryna.htm

Beverly Faryna Imagine a table set with white linen, fine china, crystal goblets, and sterling silver. The tone of the meal is established - authoritative, a bit opinionated perhaps, but dependable. Contrast this with a blanket spread out for a picnic. Because of its informality and portability, the atmosphere here is less serious and more playful. In a similar way, establishing and controlling tone and atmosphere is a key component of a writer's craft, and often involves the question of voice. Dear Diary... This paper on identifying voice in writing is such a bitch!! Who am I? That is the question. I don't seem to have anything intelligent to say on the subject. I feel so constrained  so confined. I don't have a voice to speak with!! From what I've been reading so far, voice is about displaying confidence in your topic. Is that my problem here? Am I experiencing an identity crisis? What am I going to do? What have I got to say? I guess I'll just sleep on it and hopefully my muse will hit me tomorrow. The struggle to find an original voice in my writing is challenging. It's one thing when I'm writing in my journal. That's where I'm me. It's my own private space and I can let it all hang out. There is no audience, no critic, and no teacher to grade me. However, it's another thing entirely when it comes to writing for the public - be it for a teacher or the student newspaper or some even wider audience. I know how to churn out the regular essay-type material expected for a literature course, and I do that well. However, change the rules and open the format slightly and I'm nowhere to be found! Here I have an opportunity to truly express myself and I choke! I think it is interesting to note my expression above of feeling constrained and confined when the reins have actually been loosened. Without my formula for academic writing, I'm lost!

The focus of this course is on developing skills related to writing research essays and developing strong theses. The topic of this course shifts. The topic for the current semester is "Asian American Sexualities." We will address such issues as the representation of Asian/Asian American sexuality in the mass media; our self-representations through art, film, video, and literature; and discovering new ways of looking at Asian American sexuality. The role of family, culture, and religion is discussed, as well as drug and alcohol use, sexual health issues, and interracial dating. Queer, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender issues are also addressed within the context of Asian and Pacific Islander American identities. back to top Texts Used

35. Guidelines For Grading An Essay Grammar is vital for essay composition. Sentence fragments, misspellings, and improper punctuation denote a carelesslywritten and poorly-conceived paper. http://core.ecu.edu/hist/zipfk/guidelines_for_grading_an_essay.htm

Guidelines for Grading An Essay This exercise intends to take the mystery out of grading papers. It is true that many teachers and professors have their own “style” of grading. But all follow some general rules of thumb when they grade your papers. A Good Essay Every essay must contain three essential elements. First, the essay must provide a thesis statement (in the introductory paragraph). The thesis statement must encapsulate the main argument for the paper. It must be clear and coherent, and it must answer the question that the professor has put forth to the class. Second, the essay must offer supporting evidence. The writer must provide the supporting evidence in paragraph (not “bullet” or list) form. Each paragraph must contain evidence that supports one idea or concept that proves the thesis statement. The writer must provide citations (in footnote, endnote, or paranthetical form) for all evidence presented. Third, every essay must follow basic rules of format and grammar. Every paper must contain a beginning (introductory paragraph), a middle (several supporting paragraphs that comprise the body of the paper), and an end (concluding paragraph). Grammar is vital for essay composition. Sentence fragments, misspellings, and improper punctuation denote a carelessly-written and poorly-conceived paper.

Search CLL Website breadCrumbs("http://www.mcmaster.ca/cll",">","index.htm","style1","style1","style1","0"); Teaching Tip #13 Some of My Students Do Not Know How to Write an Essay. Tamara Horton, Office of Gerontological Studies Over the last seven years of my teaching experience, I have found that essay composition continues to be a significant challenge for many students. I use several methods to address this area of academic development. However, the main method I use is the inclusion in the course syllabus of an essay outline along with suggested resources. For both 1A06 and 3B03 classes in Gerontology, I include an outline for the required essay in the syllabus. This outline includes the basic components to form the essay, from the "Introduction" to the "Conclusion". Also, the outline serves as a contract of expectations between the student and the professor or T.A. The students use the guidelines found in the outline as they are drafting the essay. Some guidelines follow graduates to the workplace and continue to serve as resources. In addition to the outline, I include a list of available resources in the syllabus, i.e. specific library or bookstore essay guides, pamphlets or counselling services available in Hamilton Hall, exemplary essays on reserve in the library, as well as office hours for the professor and teaching assistants.

Did I mention my CV said all my training was American? When I pointed out that I had never taken the leaving cert, the questioner seemed at a loss to know what to say next. All very bizarre.
