Instructions: Constructing Written Responses to Posed Questions

Using the information you've learned in the readings and lecture material, construct a written response to one of the questions posed at a the end of this post.

*Format your response as a personal essay that follows the steps and advice presented in this module.

*Include a title page with your name, date, and assignment title; an introductory paragraph ending with a thesis statement; a body with at least three paragraphs; and a conclusion.

*Compose a thesis that answers one of the numbered questions listed below.

*Develop body paragraphs properly, making sure each begins with an easily identifiable topic sentence that reflects an idea from the thesis.

*Refer to the examples provided in the module content as you compose your essay.

*Write from your own experience rather than using outside source information. A reference page is not required for this assignment.

*Feel free to use first person for this essay, unlike in most academic writing, because this is a personal narrative.

Choose one of these questions to discuss:

1. Have you ever experienced a moment of epiphany as if your eyes were suddenly opened to something you were previously blind to? Describe the moment and your reaction to it.

2. What are your goals for the future? What is your plan to accomplish these goals?

3. What is your approach to life? Explain your life philosophy. How have your life goals been shaped by your prior life experiences?

4. What is the biggest risk you've ever taken in life? Explain the outcome of this risk-taking, and describe how it impacted your life.
