Draft Due Week 5 and worth 50 points

Have you ever needed just the facts?

At times a formal, objectively written approach is more appropriate or even

critical for establishing credibility so that your audience will listen and get

informed! The key to informative writing is making the shift from personal

opinion to objective facts. This assignment will provide you with the important

opportunity to practice making this shift to a style that is required in so many

workplaces and throughout your academic program.

For this assignment, you will write an informative essay on the topic you have

previously chosen. You will need to identify a problem, need, or process

related to your topic. Then you will inform your audience and provide

supporting evidence from a minimum of two credible sources that have been

provided in the webtext. Keep in mind, you will continue to use the standard

essay format: Introduction paragraph with a thesis statement, body

paragraphs that specifically support the points in your thesis statement, and a

conclusion paragraph.
