Choose a topic that relates to language, thought, and culture. Generate ideas. Research. Plan how to organize your ideas and how to integrate source information. Write an informative, persuasive essay to explain your thinking to us. Name your sources in your essay and list them at the end. I encourage you to take risks and develop your essay the way you want to. We will evaluate your essay by asking how well you achieve your purpose and how your use of source information contributes to your purpose. I imagine there are many ways you could respond to this prompt. You could choose a topic that is closely related to something that Ahearn discusses, such as language and gender (Chapter 9) or language and race and ethnicity (Chapter 10). Aim for between 8 and 10 pages, typed and double spaced.
