Q Access this short tutorial if help is needed reading and downloading graded assignments. (Links to an external site.) Unless assigned, all sources for this assignment must have an author (first and last name) and must have a full date (day, month, year) unless the source provided by the instructor does not. As stated in the “Instructor Addendum to the Syllabus,” a Week 1 reading assignment, the sources must be online, and I must have unfettered access to all sources. Avoid using an online copyright year as a date. Copyright dates, just like URL’s on many websites are not static. The grade on this single essay assignment counts as ten percent of the course grade (a potential letter grade). Identify this assignment as “Formal Essay 3.” Read James Gilligan's “Punishment Fails. Rehabilitation Works” by accessing this document. (Links to an external site.) Compose a persuasive response (500 words minimum) that expresses an opinion about Gilligan's claims that are specifically addressed in the light green, light blue, and yellow highlighted sections of the article. Develop a thesis for Formal Essay 3 and underline it in the introductory paragraph of your essay. Before developing a thesis (argument, opinion) for your essay, access and read “A Word about the Thesis” that can be retrieved here. (Links to an external site.) Agree or disagree with Gilligan that “It would be beneficial to every man, woman and child in America, and harmful to no one, if we were to demolish every prison in this country and replace them with locked, safe and secure home-like residential communities . . . ,” but take a firm stand in your thesis. IMPORTANT: A supporting paragraph of your essay response must specifically respond to the following questions: "The only mystery is: Why is this program not being adopted by every jail and prison in the country? Why are taxpayers not demanding that this be done?" Do not dance around these question. In your opinion, will James Gilligan's "locked, safe and secure home-like residential communities" really work? For the Works Cited section and the essay, use the information in the Gilligan source and at least one secondary source of your choice by a different author that supports your thesis. The textbook, Canvas, and Google Drive may never be used as URL’s for sources. The secondary source used must list an author (both first and last name) and must be fully dated (day, month, and year). The Works Cited section does not add to the word count of the essay; however, it counts as 10% of the essay grade. PARAGRAPH REQUIREMENT: The paragraph requirement for Formal Essay assignments is introductory paragraph, a minimum of three body paragraphs, and concluding paragraph. Paragraph divisions provide transition, clarity, and organization to an essay. To view a helpful, short video about composing an introductory paragraph and concluding paragraph navigate to Module 1, Week 1, Daily Writing 1.2 and view the videos in that module. PARAGRAPH DEVELOPMENT: Access this source for guidance on paragraph development. (Links to an external site.) QUOTATION REQUIREMENT: When you review the model essay, notice that there is one short, direct quotation (from research) in the paper. Most of the writing in the paper is created by the student, not quoted from another source. (Links to an external site.) Do not submit essays or a research paper in which a large part is quoted material. I want your writing based on your research. This assignment requires a minimum of two direct quotations from the Gilligan source and at least one quotation from the secondary online source that you select. Each quotation must be at least two complete lines of text but not more than four lines of text, placed in separate paragraphs, and must pertain to the content of that paragraph. Your source selection must conform to Item #8 in the "Instructor Addendum to the Syllabus." A quotation may never form its own paragraph; it must be included within a paragraph and directly relate to the content of that paragraph. All quotations must be "within" a paragraph, not in the introductory or concluding sentence of a paragraph. An appropriate in-text citation, correctly constructed, must immediately follow the quotation. It is important to click here for quotation examples. (Links to an external site.) Quotations in this assignment may not include more than twelve lines of text, accumulative, unless otherwise instructed. IN-TEXT CITATIONS: No matter how many times a source is used in the essay, an in-text citation must be provided when a quotation by that author is used. Other instructors’ guidance may differ. Access this handout for an example of an in-text citation in this course. (Links to an external site.) CAUTION: It is acceptable to use the Bible, other sacred documents, and reference sources but only as tertiary sources, not primary or secondary sources. If the Bible is used as a tertiary source, the citation formatting must conform to the example in-text citation and full citation in the course that can be accessed here. (Links to an external site.) POINT OF VIEW: Compose the essay from one of the following first-person points of view. • A town, city, or county law enforcement officer in the United States. • A currently incarcerated convicted felon in the United States. • A member of an organized group in the United States who wants to defund the police. The name of the group is NAP (Nuke All Prisons). The thesis, however, must always be written using the third-person omniscient point of view. Just a reminder for anyone who needs it: When writing from the first-person point of view of a law enforcement officer, incarcerated convicted felon, or the NAP member; the voice in your entire essay must be evident in all paragraphs as the voice of your selected point of view, and the voice must be especially strong in the introductory and concluding paragraphs. Do not write about the voice, be the voice. Remind your audience in every paragraph from which point of view you are writing. Write from only one point of view except for the thesis. The language in assignments that require writing from a particular point of view must conform to the “English Composition Checklist.” For example, a dirty rotten scoundrel would probably use some unsavory language filled with inappropriate expletives, but if an English Composition student were writing from the point of view of a dirty rotten scoundrel, the voice must be that of a dirty rotten scoundrel, but the writing (usage, grammar, language mechanics) must be suitable for English Composition classroom expectations.
