In this assignment, you will build upon what you know about cause-and-effect essays, and use the techniques you have discovered to strengthen your own attempt in this genre.
Write a rough draft of your cause-and-effect essay that makes a convincing argument for the cause of a particular event.
Use the guidelines shown in Chapter 10 to develop your ideas and shape your essay.
The cause-and-effect essay is a research paper, not a personal essay. Include your thoughts and ideas in the essay, but by writing only in the objective, academic third person. Do not use first person (I, me, my, us, we) or second person (any form of "you").
