Writing Assignment #1



For this assignment I would like you to choose an audience (parents or other family members, a friend or a group of friends, co-workers. fellow classmates, a ex or current teacher, readers of the Lubbock Avalanche Journal, random people that you meet in the mall, etc.) and then explain your view of global climate change.

These papers should have three parts.

1. A short paragraph describing the audience you have chosen to write for. Provide some background about their currrent knowledge and attitude about the topic and why you chose to communicate to this audience.

2. The main body of the paper where you should explain your views of global climate change to your audience.

3. References that you used to develop your ideas.

Length: The first two sections should be limited to a maximum of three double spaced pages. I suggest that you use Times New Roman 12 point font and normal margins. You may include your references on a separate page.

Due Dates

First Draft- due Friday September 21th at the beginning of class (make sure that you have a STAPLER so that you can staple the pages together (you have just discovered one of my pet peeves!). Bring three copies of the paper to class (one copy for me and two copies for members of your "workshop" group. We will "workshop" your papers in class on Monday and final copies are due on Friday September 28rd at the beginning of class.

It is important that all work is turned in on time! (pet peeve #2)
