ASSIGNMENT: You began or returned to college for important reasons, and one of those reasons is to learn new skills or expand on your current skills. Therefore, the purpose of the essay you will write in this course is for you to tell your reader (your essay evaluator) three skills you hope to learn or improve on while in college. For each of your course assignments, you will build one section of your essay until you have a final version.
In this first Touchstone, you will create a single thesis statement for your essay. The table below shows two examples of how you might form this thesis.
Narrow Topic + Main Ideas = Thesis Statement
What is the narrowed topic of your essay? What are the main ideas of your essay? Your final one-sentence thesis statement, expressing the larger main point of the essay.
Beginning college for the first time to learn communication, technology, and collaboration skills While I have decided to start my college education for many reasons, I am most looking forward to learning the communication, technology, and collaboration skills that will be important in the workplace.
Returning to college to finish my degree to improve upon communication, technology, and collaboration skills I have decided to return to college in order to improve upon the communication, technology, and collaboration skills that I need to be successful in my job.
Please do NOT write your whole essay in this assignment. You will create the essay step-by-step each unit for final submission in Unit 4. Creating your thesis statement is the first step in creating your essay.
