First Assignment: Academic Writing Ideas and Sources

Post your first ideas about the assignment:

- What would be a good professional topic to write about?
- What aspect of the topic interests you?
- Would you like to work alone or in pairs?

Include 5 reliable sources in English about the topic.

Do not worry, you can change your topic later, if needed, these are just your first ideas.

Second Assignment: Submit 2-3 body paragraphs from your essay

Choose your topic and submit 2-3 body paragraphs.

Write the paragraphs about the topic and use the structure below:

- a topic sentence, which tells the reader about the main idea within the paragraphs
- body/central sentences: the main ideas are expressed logically and linked using the correct phrases
- a concluding sentence: the finishing idea of the paragraph.

The ideal length of the paragraph is 6–8 lines, but some paragraphs are shorter, whereas some are longer; however, each paragraph has one clear focus.

Finally, proofread your text and use spell checking for British or American English.

When ready, read it through and use the checklists in this section to ensure the paper is written well. Make all the necessary changes before you submit!
