ENG. 1010/Whitby
Final Exam Prompt
For
this exam, you need to write an essay about the article you have chosen
to work with. To do this, you need to read the article, formulate an
argument, and be prepared to use examples from the text to support your
claim. Make sure to use all the skills we have worked on this semester:
your essay should have a solid intro and thesis, some summary and
evaluation of the article, quotes and examples to support your argument,
and a good conclusion that restates your main point. You may agree with
the article, disagree with the article, or both agree and disagree with
the article. There is no minimum page requirement, but it should be
apparent from the length of your essay that you have written for most of
the exam period.
Your essay should include:
➮ An intro and thesis statement that clearly tells the reader the main point of your essay.
➮ A brief summary of the article.
➮ Some evaluation of the article.
➮ Quotes and examples from the article to support your thesis.
➮ A conclusion that restates your main points and ties in to your thesis.
