EN 1101 Cause and Effect Paper Packet

Your assignment, if you choose to accept it (and you’d better, it’s worth 15% of your grade!) is to write a fully fleshed out Cause and Effect paper (3F) where you examine an event, situation, or idea for its causes or its effects. What brought about the event or issue? What consequences resulted from it? Consider the following sample topics:

1. What causes credit card debt?  

Your essay should contain a thesis statement that gives me an idea of how you will back this point up and how your support will be organized throughout. It should also fulfill the other requirements of your rubric.

This paper should include cited quotes or paraphrases from at least three credible sources to support your thesis.

850 words (three and a half pages double spaced 12 point font). Please include your name, a title, the date, and your class hour at the top, as well as page numbers throughout.
