Writing Assignment:

You will host a dinner party and invite an assortment of people

At your party, you will be asking your guests to do something. To help persuade your cause, you will feature 4 famous guests to speak on behalf of the cause:

1 Author (alive or dead)

1 Historical Figure ( alive or dead)

1 Musician, Actor or Sports Figure (alive or dead)

1 Philosopher (alive or dead)

You will act as host for the Dinner Party

Think carefully about what the “argument” at dinner will be; this should help you make your invitation list. Choose guests that will make the dinner’s discourse interesting, lively, and—most importantly—thought– provoking.

You will decide on your guest list using the following criteria:

Given my topic, how does this person likely care about the issue. For example, if preventing unnecessary war in a particular country, I might include the Shakespearean tragic hero Othello, who was the fictional captain of Venetian defence forces. Machiavelli might be a choice for a philosopher since he wrote The PrinceLinks to an external site., which is a manual for war.
Choose 2 guests who are likely to support your cause and 2 who are either against or need convincing.
Be sure you include the 4 categories shown above. More information is available in the module study pages.

Requirements:

*YOU are the host; thus, the essay must be written in first person. You can “color” who you are, but keep it close to reality. Maybe a projection of yourself in ten years (a nurse, a politician, a professor, a biologist, etc.) or (in the case of my example) take a few years off 😉

*Choose 4 guests – you will make the 5th.

*Set up the context of the dinner party. Where is it happening? Why are these “people” all there? Are they all invited?

*Think critically about the menu, music, and surroundings. Do these play a role in regard to the argument? There should be symbolic reasons for these choices.

For e.g.

If I were to argue that people who text and drive should pay a $5,000 fine or do jail time, I may hold my “dinner party” in the cafeteria of a Saturday driver’s education school.

Everyone is there because they texted.

Othello texted Iago to tell him to meet him, the Moor. Desdemona’s room when he’s caught on a horse texting.

Barak Obama just texted his daughter that he would be late to her basketball game because he was meeting with the Director of Transportation.

Lastly, Robert Frost is there because he took “the road not taken,” got lost, and had to text his partner to say he was running late. A police officer was hiding in the bushes and gave him a ticket.

Now, all those people arrive at the Dinner Party. You will describe the room: a huge dining room, the Ritz, a dungy basement, a school cafeteria…whatever fits your topic.

Describe the food and what we are serving tonight. What are we drinking? You, as the host, will say hello to your guests in written dialogue, and they will respond in a way that suits their personality.

In the example above:

I would be the teacher (the host) and show horrendous videos and find lots of sources to persuade my “guests” that they should never text and drive again. In the cafeteria, we would eat hamburgers and fries [to represent food-on-the go]. After some feisty discourse (arguments, counters, and rebuttals), most of my “guests” would agree that texting and driving is a very serious problem. Maybe one guest would still dissent at the end: Othello, for e.g., saying that horses and bicycles should not count.

Ultimately, the host has the “winning” point of view. You should persuade your “guests,” and also your readers of your research paper. Again all in first person. I was astounded when Othello left in a huff saying “Fear not one who texted wisely but not very well.”

Other Requirements:

**Very important** The lengthier part of the “essay” needs to deal with a specific issue, theme, or concept that can be argued using logic and credible scholarly research/evidence. In regard to specifics, you can choose, for example, water pollution in Los Angeles, NOT pollution in general; to stop the war in Syria, not war in general, etc.

Length of argument: More Specifically around 60% approximately of your paper’s length needs to be argument, counter-arguments, and rebuttals. The “I” narrator should represent your real feelings and your point of view should ultimately be the winning argument for the argument portion of your essay to be successful.

The readers of your “dinner party” essay should be clear of the host’s perspective as well as be influenced by that perspective (by the end). By page three or so of the essay, the focus of the argument needs to be clear.

*There need to be quotes from each of the original works as well as ample research. Use parenthetical citations. That’s how I will distinguish between research and new, made up dialogue.

Creative License and Limitations:

*Cannot change the character’s personality

*2000 word minimum – no limit

*Need to use proper grammar.

*Use language appropriate for the character. You can use slang and colloquialisms only when using dialogue. The prose portion needs to be very formal. Think about the rhetoric behind your choices—don’t write anything “just because”; know why you’re using a certain image, symbol, allusion, or word choice.

*Use COLORFUL, sensory, unique language and descriptions. Invent fresh similes and metaphors. Play with language. Have fun. Be creative.

*Approximately 2000 words, including outline and a complete Works Cited page. No maximum

*Correspondence in the Cyber Café Posts. I will review all of your posts and date stamps to see how you interacted with your fellow classmates. You are in a small group, so you should comment on postings. You will, for example, post a paragraph from your essay. The rest of your group will reply to that post with a positive and a suggestion.

*This “party”—if prepared with savvy critical thinking—should allow you to be creative while expressing a particular view on an issue that you may be passionate about.

Required Sources:

4 Scholarly sources (peer-reviewed academic journals, and/or credible books—or e-books—from “real publishers).
3 Open (newspapers, magazines, videos, YouTube, TED Talks, blogs. But do review quality).
All guests need to use some of their original quotes and cite all original
A title image and 3 additional images in the essay. No logos! No signs! This needs to include people in motion. Debating, eating, talking, arguing – whatever fits your
