WRITING ACROSS STANDARD ENGLISH
\nPaper details:<\/p>\n
Select one of the options below for a writing assignment of 250-500 words in which you apply what you have learned about varieties of written Standard English.<\/p>\n
Option A: Create your own collection of written Standard English texts. Research and locate a technical text, an informational text, and a literary text. Explain how and why your choices fit each of the categories.<\/p>\n
Option B: One of the ways in which Benjamin Franklin mastered English was to \u201ctranslate\u201d a text by first paraphrasing it, writing it again as a poem, and then moving it back to prose. By this method, he made sure that he understood everything a text was saying by saying it in his own words. Imitate Benjamin Franklin by selecting a news story on a current event. Translate it into a brief short story (add characters, suspense, etc.) or a poem. Then reflect on and write about how form influences the outcome of your text.<\/p>\n
Option C: Locate a legal document (terms of use agreement, etc.). \u201cTranslate\u201d it into ordinary English. Then reflect on and write about what you had to do to successfully accomplish the task.<\/p>\n
For each of these options, remember to document your source(s) properly, using MLA format.<\/p>\n
Your project will be graded based on the following:<\/p>\n
your attention to the instructions given above<\/p>\n
appropriateness and accuracy of \u201ctranslations: or explanations<\/p>\n
use of proper punctuation, spelling, grammar, and sentence construction (commonly called \u201cconventions\u201d)<\/p>\n
proper paragraphing (either indent each paragraph five spaces OR double-space between paragraphs)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
