Paper , Order, or Assignment Requirements

This assignment requires you to write an essay that follows the surprising reversal pattern.Keep in mind that, although your purpose is to change the reader’s view, you are not writing apersuasive argument. You are not trying to convince a resisting reader that a particular value or policy is wrong. Instead, you are trying to expand the view of an open-minded reader by providing new information.

You must do four things to get full credit for the assignment:

1. Write an informative essay of 500-550 words.
2. Give the common view or, if you ask a question, give the expected answer to your question.
3. Present your surprising reversal.
4. Use specific details to make your ideas clear and concrete.

In addition, if you use outside sources, you must give credit to your sources. However, since we have not yet covered APA-style documentation in class, no deductions will be made for violations of format. You must, however, name the source of your information in your paper and list the source at the end of your paper. Deductions will be made if no attempt is made to cite the source.

If you use your own experiences as support for your thesis, this is fine—and you may use first- person words (I, me, my, mine). This tone is appropriate, since you do not want to refer to yourself in the third person.

This assignment may be revised.
