Writing Prompt:
For this composition, you will need to pick a topic from the Something Fun topics. From there, you will explore the topic in more depth. You may want to look at the discussion posts for more ideas to help you create an argument. This means that you will need to preface your argument by suggesting that yours is the best. An example would be: There are many forms of gaming; however, LARPing is a more productive way to express parts of the self that normally do not get attention. This allows you to look at various forms of gaming, and acknowledge that they are fun too, but you will go back to your original argument that your type of gaming is the best kind.
Sources:
You may use whatever sources you wish, but stay away from Wiki pages. You may include pictures, but make sure that you are citing them properly. The picture and the citation are not part of the word count. Please have six to eight sources. You will also need to include a Works Cited Page. This page does not count towards your word count either. You will need to use quotes, summary, and/or paraphrasing in some fashion for each body paragraph.
You will need to compose a well-developed, well-organized, and thoughtful essay with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion paragraph. If you need to revisit the paragraph outline, please do. If you need to double check the thesis statement requirements, please do.
And lastly, proofread your composition carefully before submitting it. Remember that you need to be within the word counts for it to be eligible for grading and conferences.
