Each essay due in this course needs to have a cover letter (not a cover page). In letter for the Rogerian essay, I would like for you to answer the following questions. Each response should be one paragraph (at least three sentences), with the exception of question six. You may use first person in your cover letter.
The questions are below:
1) What was the purpose of the essay? In your response, explore the deeper meaning of this question. The goal is not just to complete the assignment but instead to convey a message. What do you plan to accomplish with this essay? What do you hope the reader takes away from this argument?
2) What did you learn from completing this assignment? Did you experience a new understanding of the topic? Did you change your perspective after completing the research?
3) What difficulties did you encounter during the research, writing, or editing phases of the assignment?
4) What did you enjoy about this assignment?
5) What made you decide to write about this particular topic? Is this a topic that you are discussing in another course? Is this a topic that concerns you in particular?
6) Is there anything else you would like for me to know before reading your essay?
