ALLIED ENG160 MODULE 5 homework assignment

Patterns of
Essay Development: Part 3
PART I
Modules 5 through 8 Homework Assignments will be a
continuation of a writing process. You
will construct your essay by answering the following prompt, which will be
given at the beginning of each homework assignment. This is a step-by-step process. As long as you read the textbook and all the
lecture notes and complete the activities, you will not encounter much
difficulty.
Prompt: Today there is an increasing
amount of students enrolling in online schools and online courses than ever
before. Write a cause-and-effect essay
explaining the effects that online education has on students.
You will construct a traditional, five-paragraph essay
(introductory paragraph, three body paragraphs, and a concluding paragraph).
1. First step in
the writing process is prewriting.
2. Next, make a
list of as many effects of online education as you can think of.
3. Then, try to
see if any effects can be grouped together.
Using the numbers (1), (2), and (3), number those effects according to
where they should appear in the body paragraphs. For example, group (1) would appear in the
first body paragraph, group (2) would appear in the second body paragraph, and
group (3) would appear in the third body paragraph.
4. Create an
outline using the model below. You will
skip the introduction and conclusion sections and return to them in later
modules. Focus on the body section for
now.
