Question Description

This assignment requires you to write a no more than one-page paragraph about the best or worst job you’ve had sometime in your life. This job could have been a paid or an unpaid one.

You must use a variety of sentences in your paragraph. Underline and label examples of:

  • Three compound sentences using:
  • Two complex sentences using different subordinating conjunctions. Use both patterns:
  • a coordinating conjunction (CC)
  • a semicolon (SC)
  • a transitional word or phrase (TWP)
  • DC, IC.
  • IC DC.

ex: I was worried about being able to fulfill the job responsibilities, but I found that the tasks were not as difficult as I expected. (Compound: CC).

ex: Although I was worried about being able to fulfill the job responsibilities, I found that the tasks were not as difficult as I expected. (Complex: DC, IC.)

Follow these instructions carefully:

  • Adhere to manuscript format.
  • Adhere to the length requirement; one page means one page; if you hand in a paragraph longer than one page, I will NOT read the second page, and you will lose points for not including all the required elements. Include the word count at the bottom of the page.
  • Refer to the model paragraph we discussed in class (on reverse). Your paragraph must have a title, a topic sentence, three major supports, at least two supporting details for each of the major supports, and a concluding statement that restates your three major supports. Move from major support to major support with transitions.
  • Make an outline of your paragraph; hand this outline in with your paper. Your outline must support the final version of your paper.
  • Your paragraph should have no more than five (5) underlined and labeled sentences. Including more will not earn you any additional points; in fact, you will lose points for not following instructions.
  • Your grade will be based not only on your including these required sentences, but also on your applying the grammar skills that we have learned so far this semester.
Include the word count. (Do not include the header/heading in this count)
