Today is our last day together in 101 English. Thank you for a delightful, if short, semester.
You will use the time today to compose a problem/solution essay. This is your exam. Here are the possible topics as noted in Tuesday's blog post:
1. Write an essay proving that discrimination against the overweight exists and is “as wrong and damaging as any racial or ethnic slur” (200). Also, give solutions to the problems of discrimination. Anticipate that readers will point out that people don’t have to be overweight.
2. Write an essay proving that body image can either enhance or damage self esteem. Prove a problem exists and provide solutions.
3. Investigate the problem of overweight children or teens. Prove a problem exists. Provide solutions. What solutions are currently in the news?
4. Prove that some diets can be dangerous. Prove a problem exists. Provide solutions.
5. After reading “Bodily Harm and “Dieting Daze. . .” write an essay discussion the problems of eating disorders. Provide solutions.
6. Write an essay proving that advertising and the media contribute to weight problems in children and/or adults. Provide solutions.
7. Think of a topic of your choice that relates to the umbrella topic of health and nutrition. Prove there is a problem. Provide solutions.
In addition to the reading, locate at least two good articles from reputable sources provide additional proof and statistics that a problem exists and point out viable solutions.
You may use an outline to guide your writing today if you created one. An outline is not required.
In your essay, you must cite information from at least three different sources. One of those sources must come from Between Worlds. You may also include an interview if you interviewed anybody.
Decide on your specific topic. It must be related to health.
Use MLA formatting and in-text citations
Include a Works Cited page
Don't forget the title!
After you type the paper, you may get another member of the class to edit it. (Do not stop a student from writing. Look for another who has finished the draft. Read on-screen.
Print ONLY the final copy.
If you want your paper returned - fill out a self-addressed envelope. If you are in my 102 class that begins on Tuesday, just get your paper then.
Again, thank you for a wonderful semester. Good luck to all of you!
