I am attaching a copy of out of class essay assignment #3, which was assigned last Wednesday in class.
English 11, Spring 2013
C. Fraga
OUT OF CLASS ESSAY
ASSIGNMENT #3 (200 points possible)
Assigned: Wednesday, April 10th
Optional Rough Draft Due: Wednesday, April 24
Final Draft Due: Wednesday, May 1
The readings in this chapter, “Between Cultures,” explore
the many situations and issues connected with being a part of or being exposed
to more than one culture. Some even describe it as having one foot in one
culture, and the other placed firmly in another.
In this country, most specifically in California, we are
daily exposed to a plethora of different cultural backgrounds. In fact, most of
us probably take for granted the wealth of interesting, curious, rich and
diverse people, language and ideas that surround us.
Prompt:
Write an essay in which you explain how and why being surrounded by a variety of different cultures impacts
your life and makes it richer, more interesting.
You are not required to do any outside research for this
essay. (In other words, no in text citations or Works Cited page, etc.)
I want you to focus on you and your experiences up to this
moment in your life. What have been the most powerful influences, insights
and/or lessons you have received from others who celebrate and honor another
culture than yours? What is the value of living in such a diverse world,
attending school at such a diverse campus?
YOUR ESSAY MUST BE:
·
DOUBLE SPACED
·
MLA SET-UP/FORMAT
·
TIMES NEW ROMAN FONT
·
EDITED CAREFULLY FOR CARELESS SENTENCE LEVEL
ERRORS
IT MUST BE AT LEAST
FOUR PAGES MINIMUM. I realize I am going against my own philosophy of no
word or page requirement…but after reviewing the most recent research essays, I
feel inclined to set some guidelines. J
