PAPER 2: CAUSE-AND-EFFECT

Format: Two-page, double-spaced, word-processed; 500-550 words

Title: Required

For Paper 2, please write a cause-and-effect essay. Your paper’s topic is simple: What causes a community college student stress? Pick three things that cause stress; the effect is always stress. Consider the following causes (you do NOT have to pick a cause from the list below):

(1.) Professors (2.) Tuition (3.) Family (4.) Transportation (5.) Textbook Costs

An important item of note: If you use cause-and-effect as an adjective, you must hyphenate it, making it a compound adjective; consider the example below:

A cause-and-effect relationship exists between smoking and disease. “Cause-and-effect,” a compound adjective, modifies “relationship,” a noun.

Also note the difference between affect and effect: affect is a verb and effect is a noun. Consider the following example: Cigarette smoke affects my asthma and the effect is that I wheeze.

Organization: Once you pick three causes, write a three-point thesis. Here is an example:

Professors, parking, and family all cause a community college student stress. (The three stressors come first in the thesis, not at the end.)

Grading Criteria:

(1.) How well you follow directions

(2.) The use of a thesis

(3.) The use of a cause-and-effect relationship in your essay

(4.) The use of specific examples

(5.) A relative freedom from errors in grammar, mechanics, and spelling

(Remember: I do not accept emailed copies of any essays. Please upload your paper to Blackboard by the due date/time due. Thanks.)
