pronoun-antecedent agreement, and pronoun case. Students also complete exercises covering topic
sentences, paragraph development, citations, and formatting guidelines.

Expository
Essay Topic
Before you begin the writing process, you must select a topic that is
interesting to you and to your readers. Inexperienced writers
sometimes make the mistake of attempting to write about a topic that
is too broad. Start by doing some preliminary reading about your
topic and then determine 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 feel the same way.

For this assignment, you will choose from the following options:

Option 1: Narrowed Topic. Complete the Associate Program
Material: Narrowing a Topic to narrow your essay topic.
Option 2: Narrowing Strategies. Explain how you used the
narrowing strategies in this weeks readings to select your topic.

Address the following in 75 to 100 words:

Fact refers to information verifiable through evidence. Opinion refers
to an impression open to dispute. How might you differentiate
between fact and opinion as you develop your narrowed topic?

Post your topic selection along with either the completed worksheet
(Option 1) or your explanation (Option 2). Post the Certificate of
Originality that is located in the Course Materials section along
with this assignment.

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 appears in your introduction when you write the
expository essay, you must include your thesis statement 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.

Discussion Questions

Week One Discussion Questions

Fact refers to information verifiable through evidence. Opinion refers to an impression open to dispute. Go
to the History Channel website at http://www.history.com/. Click Video at the top of the web page; then,
type Speeches into the Search bar, or copy and paste the following link into a web browser:
http://www.history.com/media.do?searchTerm=speeches&action=search. Select a speech, briefly describe
the speech, and then explain whether the speech is fact or opinion. Include specific examples from the
speech to support your explanation of the difference between fact and opinion.

When you respond to your classmates posts, ask for more information regarding areas of disagreement.
Remember to focus on whether the speech is fact or opinion, rather than on the speechs topic.

An essential step in selecting and narrowing a topic is to determine the purpose for which you are writing
and the type of essay the assignment requires.

Consider the following topics:

o Legalization of marijuana
o Boston Tea Party
o Endangered species
o Enforcing school dress codes
o Gun control

Which of the above topics are appropriate for an expository essay? Why do you think so? Which of the
above topics are appropriate for a persuasive essay? Explain. What differentiates an expository essay from
a persuasive essay?

Week Three Discussion Questions

One of the reasons academic writing requires third-person point of view is to minimize the opinions of the
writer. When we cite other sources, we also borrow from their respectability in the field and from their
expertise. It is as though we are academic reporters.

In the world of journalism, the news reported as objectively as possible. If television news broadcasters, for
example, reported their own opinions, rather than facts, the opinions would probably not be enough to
convince most viewers. Using the third person during a broadcast makes information seem much more
objective.
Course Design Guide
COM/150 Version 6
15


Why must your academic writing use third-person, rather than first-person, point of view? How might you
work on removing first person from your writing?

How does using third-person point of view affect the credibility of the sources you use for your academic
writing?

Most people conduct Internet research by using popular search engines and entering key words. This
process normally results in thousands of website options. Some of these sites are reliable, whereas others
are not.

What websites do you normally frequent? Are these websites credible? When is credibility more important,
and when is it less important? Support your answers with specific examples.

What questions might you ask to determine the credibility of online sources?

Week Five Discussion Questions

Select one of the following topics:

o The leadership role of women in national politics has changed dramatically in the last 60 years.
o Teachers and parents are concerned about whether standardized tests are an effective measurement
of a childs intelligence.
o A healthful diet and regular exercise will not only improve health but also lower health-care costs.

Answer the following questions regarding the topic you selected:

What kinds of supporting paragraphsexamples, details, definitions, analysis, division and classification,
process analysis, comparison-contrast, cause-effect, and argumentare appropriate to support this topic?
Explain your answer.

Respond to classmates posts by asking for more information if you disagree with or do not understand a
response.

An effective essay involves developing an outline, planning topic sentences, and identifying supporting
points. How might you use these three concepts in planning and writing your expository essay?

Where might you place the topic sentence in your supporting paragraphs? Why would you place it there?
Why is the thesis statement usually placed at the end of the introductory paragraph? How might you create
unity and coherence in your essay?

Week Seven Discussion Questions

Select one of the essays from the following list located in the ERR page on the student website.

o Cabbies Stay on Their Phones Despite Ban
o After Jackson, Fame May Never Be the Same
o At Last, a $20,000 Cup of Coffee
o Quick Arriving Fads Quick to Flame Out

Which article did you select? What type of introduction does the writer use? What is the effect of that kind
of introduction on that essay?
