Write an Essay
Use the information you have read and discussed, as well as the knowledge you've gained in Unit 2, to write an essay in response to the question: “how do social scientists use ideas from the study of epidemics to understand and explain human behavior?”
REMEMBER: A well-written, informational piece
• clearly states a focus and stays focused throughout the piece;
• uses accurate and relevant examples, details, and quotations to explain your points;
• groups information logically, in a way that makes your points clear to the reader; and
• follows rules of writing (spelling, punctuation, and grammar).
Now, begin work on your essay. Manage your time carefully so that you can complete the steps below:
1. Review your plans for the essay on your Informative Writing Plan graphic organizer.
2. Draft the essay.
3. Use the Informative Writing checklist to revise and edit your essay.
4. Reread your essay, checking for effective evidence and organization.
5. Check your essay for spelling, punctuation, and grammar mistakes.
