Essay Topic Exploration

You'll be writing four essays this semester, and for each one, you will have to compose a 12-line topic exploration before you begin outlining and writing the paper. To view possible topics for each essay, click on the essay assignment below:
  1. Interpret an Experience
  2. Clarify a Process
  3. Highlight a Difference
Once you choose a topic, create a document in your Google Drive writing folder and name it this way: "LastName.FirstName.WhichEssay.Topic.Semester"

Let your mind think openly about the topic. Why does this topic interest you, and what is something that happened to you that you could base your essay on?

Each topic exploration is part of the completion grade you earn on that essay. In other words, if you skip the topic exploration, you cannot get full credit on the essay you write for that topic.
