Challenging Project from First-Year Writing: Documented Essay

Documented Essay

The documented essay focuses on different facets of reinforcing a central argument.  The essay was formed by combining two sections written separately, the first questioning others views on the topic and the other making points to strengthen the writer’s argument.

This essay was challenging because it required a lot of research, a variety of sources, and constant revision.  It was also difficult to combine two papers written in different ways into one succinct and cohesive paper.
