Week 5 assignment 1 | Psychology homework help

Assignment 1: Discussion Assignment

 

BOTH ARTICLES ARE ATTACHED

 

From your course textbook, Ticket to Writeread the following chapters:

  • “Popular Culture: Shaping and Reflecting Who We Are,” by Billy Wilson
  • “Willie, My Thirteen-Year-Old Teacher,” by Scott Leopold.

The Hook 
Do you like to fish? If so, you probably know the importance of using the right kind of hook or bait if you want to catch a particular fish. Similarly, your opening to your essay needs to “catch” your readers’ attention long enough so that the next lines can “reel them in.”

Consider using one of these techniques in your revised narrative essay: a focusing question, some dialogue, or a short scene. Here’s an opener that uses a scene to interest the reader in the topic of single parenthood:

“Mom, please! All the kids at school have one. Do you want me to be a social outcast?” My son glared at me and slouched against the row of gleaming cell phones, as other customers shot disapproving glances my way. Did they think I was an ogre for not indulging him or a permissive parent for allowing him to speak to me like that? Ah, parenthood… Whatever made me think I could raise a child to adulthood? And now I was facing the frightening prospect on my own.

Discussion: 
Notice that both of this week’s readings start off with engaging openings.

  • Which one of the readings did you prefer? Why?
  • How did Wilson or Leopold hook you as a reader?
  • How will you revise your narrative essay to hook your reader?
