Writing #2: Writing Territories
Writing Territories Directions: For each category below, list as many items/events/etc. as you can think of. Remember that you may pull from this list for writing you do in the future. Make your list as comprehensive as possible. Leave room under each category to add ideas as they come to you – either from talking with others or from readings or from other discussions or writing assignments as we progress through this course. Also, the items can be current for you OR could have occurred at any point in your life OR could be something you want to find out more about! *Create a chart like the one below and fill each cell with your ideas!
FADS / YOUR POSSESSIONS/WHAT YOU VALUEHOBBIES/OBSESSIONS / MUSIC

BOOKS, POEMS, MAGAZINES, other LITERATURE / FEARS
CURRENT EVENTS and ISSUES / FUTURE DREAMS and ASPIRATIONS
PET PEEVES / PEOPLE in your life

Cultural Story Focus: Argument Style Prompt: (quotation Henry David Thoreau) “Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.” In a well-thought-out essay, examine the accuracy of this aphorism in modern society. Concentrate on examples from your observations, reading, and experiences to develop your ideas.
Directions: After reading the above prompt, be on the lookout for current events or stories within today’s culture that would work well as support in answering the prompt. Do not write the essay. Instead, write down the story or bring in the clipping/printout from the news. Either way, you must include (1) a summary of the event or story – including who, what, where, when, why, and how?; (2) a comment about how the story would work as support for a point in relation to the given prompt; and (3) a citation for the source – whether it be a print or online magazine or newspaper or audio/radio program or television broadcast. Hand write in ink or word processin MLA format.
