ENG140 Introduction to Writing
Assignment
Essay 1 – Academic Essay (Draft 1)
Description
An academic essay consists of three main sections: introduction, body, and conclusion. Many of us have heard of the 5-paragraph essay: an introduction catches the reader’s attention, introduces the topic, and gives the thesis statement; the body consists of three paragraphs that develop or explain the argument expressed in the thesis statement through topic sentences, supporting examples/evidence, and good reasons; the conclusion closure to the argument by explaining why the argument is important, or by discussing the implications of the argument.
As you draft this assignment, draw on what you learned in ENG100 or other previous coursework: develop paragraphs that are organized around a topic sentence that states one main idea, and are supported by sufficient, descriptive examples that illustrate your point. As you develop the discussion posts into an essay, focus on the connections between paragraphs. Also, for this first essay assignment, work to develop a strong introduction, an effective and well organized body, and an interesting conclusion.
Assignment
Write an essay that discusses the concept you defined in the Week 2 discussion assignments. In order to expand your definition into a longer essay, you might want to consider one of the following strategies:

Explore the causes and/or effects of the concept that you have defined for our society.
