DQ ENG215
The week two writing assignment asks you to choose three topics from the list of approved topics and explain why you chose the topics, along with your specific audience, and working thesis statement.
Let’s begin discussing that here in this discussion.
Please share one of your topic choices (from the approved list) and explain why you chose that topic. How do you connect to the topic? Why did you choose it? Please use Chapter 8 in our Roen book to help with understanding your audience.
Then, share your intended audience and your working thesis statement.
Remember, the thesis statement should use third person, include your stance on the topic, and avoid announcing anything. Chapter 13, in our Roen book, provides a fantastic overview of writing at thesis statement.
This should help you get started with the Week Two writing assignment as well :).
