First-Year Reads Program: “This, I Believe” Contest 2020
As you know, all first-year students are reading pieces from the National Public Radio’s famous “This, I Believe” series. These writings have inspired people across the world to share their stories and perspectives. In ENG1020 (or ENG1024), you will take part in this, as a way to share a common academic experience with your first-year classmates.
Your ENG1020 (or ENG1024) professor will also be including an assignment that will allow you to write your own “This, I Believe” piece. If you would like to enter the university-wide contest, please let your professor know, so your piece may be considered. There will be three winners chosen. As part of the contest, the winning essays will be shared with the JWU community in some way.
The essay should be approximately 500 words, following the spirit and general format of the “This, I Believe” series. This year, we would like you to consider the current cultural and societal issues that we are facing. We are not asking you to present solutions to these challenges (whether discussing the health/financial crisis or racial injustice) but to allow this essay to voice something about who you are and what you believe, in the context of these very unique times.
As with any essay, you will want to state your thesis clearly, which, in this case, will be your “belief.” You will want to support your essay with clear points that express your views and offer specific examples and observations from your life.
The essay should be double-spaced in MLA format.
Essays must be submitted (in digital form) to your ENG1020 (or ENG1024) professor no later than 9/25.
A committee of English faculty will read the essays, and winners will be announced by early October.
Here is a link with more examples and some writing suggestions:
Be brave. Your words are more powerful than you know.
