東京理科大学 A英3: Final writing assignment・後学期期末作文

Hello!

How are you? Here is the final writing assignment for our class this year.

Review of topics

For our final writing assignment, you have a choice of themes! From September, we wrote about these themes:

• Cause and effect
• Future jobs, careers, lifestyles, and places to live
• Issues 

Task

For the final assignment, I have two very different, but equally interesting themes for you. Choose one (1) of them:

• Cause and effect (choose one (1) of these) – explaining a scientific or technical principle (such as a complex chemical or mechanical process or reaction). 
• Opinion writing on a different topic or issue than what you wrote about before (such as something in the news about Japan or the world - or - your hometown or the place you live in, something in the university here, or something science- or technology-oriented).  

Important note: 

It is very important that you do not write about the same thing you wrote about before! I can suggest some topics for you if you need them. 

How much to write

I’d like you to write as much as you can, at least 4-5 paragraphs' worth of writing. 

Deadline (締め切り)

It will be on January 21st, 2019 (1/21/19). I want you to work on your first draft (下書き) in class today in your notebooks in pencil, plus work on this outside of class.

I do not expect you to work on this during the holiday, so do as much as you can outside of class, with next week (12/24) also as an open class writing day. Please let me see your rough drafts, and I can give you comments, advice, and suggestions about it. 

(If you work this way - do as much as you can both in-class and outside of class this week, plus work in-class next week, then you may not have to do anything over the holiday!)

Special note:

The final version must be typed up on a Word document, with the correct formatting as I have shown you before about name, class, period, and that it is the final writing assignment, with a title and the correct spacing, and handed in on January 21st.

Good luck with this! I look forward to reading your great writing on these themes!
