WR 123: Essay 1 Guidelines

  1. Choose either “The Dark Knight and the Evilness of Evil” (Cocksworth) or “The Exceptional Darkness of The Dark Knight”(McGowan — only first 3 ½ p.); read, annotate, and analyze.
  1. Craft an introduction that catches the reader’s interest and previews the topics to be discussed. You can either state your claim here or forecast what your claim might be.
  1. Next, address the “they say” — summarize your chosen article efficiently in around 200-300 words. Summarize specifically highlighting the main claim or subclaim you will be responding to and the reasons/evidence that apply. Please use a few direct quotes to illustrate your summary. This should be at least two to three meaty paragraphs in length.

Note: You can assume the reader is familiar with The Dark Knight but not the article being summarized.

  1. In the next part of your essay (note — these are not to be sectioned off, part 1 and part 2; it should be cohesive), you will respond, saying what you agree with or what you disagree with in your chosen article (or both) in roughly 400-600 words, provide your claim, and then the reasons/evidence supporting that. Please use specific examples for your evidence (quotes from your chosen article, quotes/scenes from the film, related examples in real life, etc.).
  1. Finish with a conclusion the reflects on the importance of what’s been expressed and possibly applying it to the broader world.

Length/Format: 700-900 words; 2 ½ -4 full pages with in-text citation (MLA or APA style) with an additional works cited or reference page (not included in page count). Your writing should not involve first person (use of “I”).

Points: 100 points and worth 20% of total class grade.

Due date: Final Draft July 10th before midnight on BeaconLearning.
