Freshmen: Your task is to respond to the prompt Norman Mailer responded to in Parade Magazine: If you could do one thing to improve America, what would it be? You should answer this prompt in a cause and effect essay. What you would do, why you would do it, and what the effect will be should be clear in your essay. Have an awesome title, and list the lead and conclusion techniques you are using (and use them well), in your header. Though I hate the idea of giving length requirements - as good essays are about depth rather than length - many of you have struggled with development, so the minimum length is eight paragraphs. For more information on cause and effect essays, you could check out the following sites:
