Paper Guidelines

Paper #1 will provide me with a sample of your writing ability and will be graded the most leniently of the 2 assignments. If, after grading this paper, I make any comments on your paper in CANVAS regarding the need for writing assistance take the recommendation very seriously. If you do not get assistance or do not bother to proofread subsequent assignments, I may return papers #2 ungraded. If I do so, and you wish to receive up to 50% credit for the paper, you must go to the Writing Center (or to an approved English professor) and have one of the instructors completely review your paper and assist you with corrections. The Melbourne Campus Writing Center is located in Building 2, room 125 and is staffed by instructors who will assist students in writing by providing tutoring, editorial, and grammatical assistance. Writing Center services are accessible by appointment only; no walk-ins. To contact the Melbourne Campus Writing Center, call (321) 433-5605.

Take the corrected, marked up paper and attach it to the newly corrected paper. Turn in both copies by the due date provided. If I have not received it at that time, then no points will be recorded.

Important!

Even if I make no negative comments regarding your writing capabilities on paper #1, do not automatically assume that paper 2 will be without error or that you are immune from being asked to rewrite it. Proofreading, effort and good writing skills are required for ALL assignments.

Assignment #1- Childhood Influence Paper. Prepare an essay which describes some childhood event (must have occurred prior to age 16) which you consider to be an important influence in your life. Explain the circumstances surrounding the event, who was involved and what your reaction was at the time that it occurred. Include how you feel this event contributed to the development of who you are today. You may write this paper in the first person. Paper must be a minimum of 750 words not including the APA cover page. While this paper deals with your personal childhood experience, it still needs to have 2 sources. Even though it is about you, the topic you choose to write about can still be researched. For example, if you were bullied as a child there is plenty of research which deals with the effect of bullying. If you had loving parents, there is research which deals with positive parenting. If you struggled with a learning disability, there is plenty of information available which deals with dyslexia, etc. Assignment is worth 75 points and due on August 22, 2018.

No abstract is needed. Please see the grading rubric for a complete explanation of expectations and points awarded
