COM 150 WEEK 1 CHECKPOINT EXPOSITORY ESSAY TOPIC COSMETIC SURGERY

http://www.assignmentcloud.com/COM-150/COM-150-WEEK-1-CHECKPOINT-EXPOSITORY-ESSAY-TOPIC-COSMETIC-SURGERY

CheckPoint: Expository Essay Topic

Before you begin the writing process, you must select a topic that is interesting to you and your readers. Inexperienced writers sometimes make the mistake of attempting to write about a topic that is too broad. You may want to start by doing some preliminary reading about your topic and then determining how you want to approach the subject. Ask yourself the following questions: Which aspect of this topic is most interesting to me? What do I want to know more about? Chances are your readers will feel the same way.

· Resources: Appendix A and the Axia College Writing Resources Web Site

· Select a topic from Appendix A or from http://bcs.bedfordstmartins.com/hrel/toplinks/

· Explain how you plan to narrow your topic for the expository essay.

· Post both your topic and explanation.

COM 150 WEEK 6 CHECKPOINT TOPIC OUTLINE AND WORKING REFERENCES LIST

http://www.assignmentcloud.com/COM-150/COM-150-WEEK-6-CHECKPOINT-TOPIC-OUTLINE-AND-WORKING-REFERENCES-LIST

CheckPoint: Topic Outline and Working References List

Before you write your expository essay, you must organize your ideas. One way to organize content is by creating a formal outline. Normally, an outline organizes only the body of your paper. Although your thesis statement will appear in your introduction when you write the expository essay, include the thesis at the top of your outline. That way, it is easier for you and for your instructor to check for alignment between the thesis and supporting ideas.

· Resources: Appendix D, Appendix E, Outlining Strategies, A Pocket Style Manual

· Read pp. 170-182 in the APA section of A Pocket Style Manual.

· Review How to Create a Works Cited or References List at

http://www.bedfordstmartins.com/researchroom/workscited/APA_style.asp or

Documenting Sources at http://www.dianahacker.com/resdoc/p04_c09_s2.html at the

Writing Resources Web site.

· Use Appendix D to create a topic outline for your expository essay.

· Use Appendix E to create a working references list.

· Post Appendix D and Appendix E as attachments.
