Do you believe that AI models can be used as tools for essay writing without harming student learning? Why or why not? Develop your response in a thesis-driven essay of four or more paragraphs with researched support from at least two credible sources other than the assigned readings.
STRUCTURE:
- Provide an Introduction that introduces the topic and leads to your thesis statement.
- Consider summarizing one of the assigned readings to provide context for your thesis
- Your thesis should respond directly to the prompt
- Your thesis statement should contain your stance + your rationale
- Provide multiple body paragraphs to develop your thesis
- Start your body paragraph with a clear claim that supports part of your thesis
- Support your claim with evidence (examples, statistics, anecdotes) from your research
- You may use your own experiences in addition to your research (but NOT in place of research)
- You may use the assigned readings in addition to your own research
- You MUST use at least two credible sources other than the assigned readings
- Explain the significance of your evidence explicitly
- What does it show or suggest?
- How does it support your claim?
- End the essay with a discrete Conclusion
- Remember that the reader is most likely to remember the end of the essay, so it should contain your argument in a nutshell
- Re-state (in new words!) your central claim
- Briefly summarize your points
- Conclude with a final insight or call-to-action
- Remember that the reader is most likely to remember the end of the essay, so it should contain your argument in a nutshell
- Document your research appropriately
- Provide in-text citations (signal phrases and/or parenthetical citations) in the body of the essay
- Provide full publication information on a separate Works Cited page
- Format your essay following MLA guidelines
