PART I: WRITING APPLICATION

In this homework assignment, you will turn in a 1 page document that
consists of three paragraphs: a paragraph plan, a draft description paragraph,
and a revised description 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 general topics of academic- and
work-related topics to write your description paragraph. Choosing a topic that is of interest or
choosing a topic that may be difficult for you to write about is a good way to
challenge your writing skills:

o A coffee shop
o An interesting house or
building
o A useless product or item
o An evening out
o A scene from nature
o A silly fashion trend
o A quiet area on campus
o An unusual student or coworker
o A loud place
o An uncomfortable uniform
o A place with a good or bad
odor
o An embarrassing moment at work

Step 2: Create your paragraph plan, write your first draft, and then write your
revised draft.

First, create a paragraph plan. Then, in the same document, write a first
draft of your paragraph. Still in the
same document, write your revised draft (you should show two different versions
of the paragraph).

Remember that a good paragraph takes time to
write. You may want to even start with
some idea development activities, such as freewriting or brainstorming, to help
you generate your paragraph. Pay
attention to your purpose, audience, and mechanics in your paragraph.

Step 3: Save and submit your assignment.

PART II: READING COMPREHENSION

Step 1: Read “Bound
Feet” by Jung Chang on page 528 in your textbook.

Step 2: Answer the
following questions:

1.
In the past, why were Chinese women’s
feet bound?
2.
Why would women who had been through the
pain of foot-binding subject their daughters to the same torture? Think of some reasons.
3.
What is the narrator’s point of view
about her grandmother’s bound feet? Look
for clues in the text.

Step 3: In a paragraph
(about 3-5 sentences), please respond to the following:

This reading
describes a painful process that Chinese women went through in the past. Although foot binding seems shocking and
distasteful, there are parallels in contemporary society. Explain how people alter their bodies today. Try to use descriptive imagery.
