Essay #4: New American Dream Manifesto
English —4th Formal Essay
—McFarland—Spring—2014
“A New American Dream Manifesto”
For this final major writing assignment, you
are being given the opportunity to create your own Manifesto. First off, you
will want to find out what a manifesto is, lol. We will be talking about that.
The goal of writing this manifesto is to give
you a chance to really take charge of your own thoughts and to consider deeply
what and how you think things should be in this country and on this planet. The manifesto will live on your Web blog, so
you will need to include links to research and web sites and photos and videos
and graphs, etc, that support what you will be arguing.
This manifesto needs to feature a strong
response to the ideas in the Rich and the
Rest of US.
What should the manifesto include:
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In order to support your points, you need to use
the ideas found in the Rich and Rest of
us book, your research, and in any
other handouts, info, etc. that we have access to. You are also strongly
encouraged to access and integrate support from all the other movies, books,
etc we used during the semester. Think of this as a chance for you to offer a
comprehensive summing up of what you think, and have been thinking all
semester.
You must average a minimum of 3 short quotes
per page. You should try to include at
least 2 quotes per paragraph. Quote length in a paper of this length should be
no more than 1-2 lines. The essay’s
page minimum is 7 full pages…(BNDJTM…)
Paragraph topic sentences should start with
concepts. Paragraph topic sentences should also feature KEYWORDS, which are taken from the areas of discussion
that you will be coming up with.
The paper is due Saturday May 31 at 5pm. You
will be emailing the Manifesto to me as well as the manifesto link to your web
site.
HW related to the Essay #4. (this HW is for the M/W classes.
You need to read the book! Chapter one HW had two questions:
What surprised you the most
What are you thinking
