Summary:
This paper is worth 100 points.
Topic: Three reasons that your sister should not name her baby a horrible name.
Scenario: Your sister is expecting a child in just a few months. You have just learned the name that she plans to give her baby. That name is so bad that you feel you must intervene and tell her that she needs to reconsider the name. This paper is your attempt to give your sister reasons to pick another name.
Since this sister doesn’t really exist, you (the writer and student) will choose or invent the horrible name that your “sister” has chosen in your scenario. You (the persona in the paper) will then argue against that name, giving three reasons.
This will be a five-paragraph essay. You will write an introduction and conclusion as well as three body paragraphs. Although you are writing this to your sister, it is formatted as an essay rather than a letter; you will not write “Dear Sister,” but you may use “you” in your paper because she is your audience.
The three body paragraphs in your paper are explanations of the three reasons that your sister should pick a different name for her daughter. The body paragraphs should have all of the features and qualities of good paragraphs that we discussed in the first half of the semester, including topic sentences, unity, coherence, organization, transitions, and development with reasons, examples, names, numbers, and sense words (RENNS). In addition, you will apply what you learned about writing and correctly punctuating complete sentences in the coming weeks when you edit your paragraphs. A grading rubric will be provided before final revisions. The format of the paper will be MLA. Your reasons and examples may require research, but this is not a research paper. (In fact, I recommend that you Google this name and facts about it.) You will not have to give credit for your sources.
Example Scenario from Class: Your sister is expecting her first child, your niece, in just a few months. She has told you that she would like to name her baby Aïta Salome Sandage. It would be pronounced like “I eat a SAL-oh-may.” You do not like this name at all and would like your niece to have a different name. You write to kindly persuade your sister to choose any other name.
