Why is every ENGL 102 student required to write a research paper? What skills and abilities might the final research assignment impart that are useful in other classes you take? What does it offer that might be worthwhile outside of school? How might writing a research paper enrich your overall education? You are to write an in-class essay answering one or more of these questions. Prior to class, you may wish to formulate a preliminary thesis statement and outline. As always, your essay should have a thesis—although it might be a multi-part thesis. You will need to then support the thesis with specific reasons and details. You should also have a strategy for engaging the reader.
