Prompt and Instructions:  

DO NOT USE ANY RESOURCES BESIDES THE ONES I INDICATE IN THE INSTRUCTIONS

You will have an "out of class" essay that you will complete  the same way you completed the midterm.  You will write on a provided prompt using a secondary article I provided, and you will submit to Turn It In.  You will need this article as part of your final exam:

The Final Exam will be similar to the Midterm.  You may use only the secondary article I provided above and the literature named in the prompt.

DIRECTIONS: Respond to the prompt below in a 1000 – 1200 word essay.

The essay must cite

• Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short story “Rappaccini’s Daughter,” (first primary source)
• Edgar Allan Poe’s “Sonnet—To Science,” (second primary source)
• at least one author I assigned for reading from Volume A (your choice) (third primary source)
• the scholarly article I provided (secondary source)

Formatting and Content

• Use MLA format, including a Works Cited page.
• Do not count your heading and Works Cited page in your word count.
• Using the prompt, develop a thesis (main idea) for this synthesis essay. Then compose an essay that synthesizes the main idea of the three sources from our texts, the article, and your own view point, agreeing or disagreeing as necessary. Use the They Say/ I Say Academic Moves, strong verbs, transitions and bridging words and phrases to move the conversation and to achieve a unified whole.
• All citations from the secondary source should take the form of paraphrases: you may use direct quotes from the primary sources.

PROMPT:

Consider the development of science and technology and human beings’ understanding of
them from the beginning of the course (1620) through the end (1865). Then consider the information
provided in Deb Burgauer’s article. How did “American’s” view of the world as related to science and
technology develop and change? In what ways might that change have been positive? Negative? Do
you see a connection to your own world view as it relates to science and technology in the 21st Century?

Note the following Conventions (these are provided as examples):

• Your paper must be formatted according to MLA requirements. Use OWL Purdue for help with
  this formatting. You can also view a sample paper on the OWL website.
• The first time you cite an author, you use his/her full name and the title of the work being cited: As indicated by Kimberly Latta, in the article “’Such is My Bond’: Maternity and Economy in Anne Bradstreet’s Writings” . . ..
• Subsequent references to a source use the author’s last name only: Latta further states . . . .Morgan 2
•  You are required to use the Academic Conversations templates that are posted in the course and that you are using for the Writing Workshops.
• While most formal papers must be written in third person, because this is an exam and I am looking for your ability to analyze the sources and synthesize them with each other and your own opinion, you will use the first person pronoun “I”.
