PART I: WRITING APPLICATION

In this homework assignment, you will turn in a 1 page document that
consists of two paragraphs: a paragraph plan and a completed paragraph. Use a word processor, such as Microsoft Word,
to complete and turn in the assignment.
Remember to use proper APA format (Times New Roman, 12-point font,
double-spacing).

Step 1: Choose one of the following broad topics:
o
Balance family and
work
o
Planning vacations
o
Study habits

With that as the topic, create a paragraph plan. Start with the topic sentence and then add
supporting ideas and details for each supporting idea. You can organize your paragraph plan using
bullets or an outline format to structure your plan.

Step 2: As you create your plan, decide how you want to
organize the paragraph. Will it be
organized spatially, emphatically, or chronologically?

Step 3: After you have created and organized your paragraph
plan, create a paragraph.

If you do not have enough supporting ideas or details, feel free to add
more to make your topic sentence stronger before writing the paragraph; just be
sure that you add those ideas to the plan as well as to the paragraph.

Step 4: Save and submit your assignment.

Class, Stupid!” by Richard Rodriguez on page 535 in your textbook.
