Write a report of 950-1300 words. Follow the principles in Chapter 14 to write your report.  Study the “Characteristic Features” on pp. 257-266. Please notice how the text gives you a list of the characteristics on page 257 and then expands on each characteristic on pages 258-266. Be sure you understand the concepts for each characteristic.

 

Audience : Your audience for this assignment is the entire ACC community – students, staff, faculty, and other people associated with or interested in the college. Imagine that your review will be published in a campus magazine at the end of the semester.

 

Sources : You must use at least two sources in addition to the textbook, and you must accurately give credit for the information you use from those sources. Review Chapters 24, 25, 26, and 27 as needed. The information in these four chapters will raise the level of your writing and enable you to create work that is at the appropriate academic level.

 

Format : Prepare your essay in MLA style, which is covered in Chapter 27. MLA style can also be found on the ACC library web site.

 

Topics: You choose your topic.

Report on a debatable topic, reporting on the major points for each side of the issue as well as their shared concerns  without taking a side or expressing your own opinion . Keep in mind that your topic must be something that you can cover thoroughly in the specified length of the assignment. Our own textbook includes several broad categories that you can narrow according to your own interests: education, food, home, language, technology, work. See a sample essay beginning on page 574 in your text.

 

Stance and Tone: Your stance should be neutral for a report or a profile. Your tone should match the level of seriousness or formality of your subject and should reflect your assessment of your audience.
