1. Noah argues that in post-apartheid South Africa ‘Language, even more than color.
Define who you are to people’ (p. 56). Consequently, the book shows people
strategically codeswitching to signal community membership, safety, and
educational competence.
Based on this insight write a 7-paragraph essay arguing why or why not
codeswitching in academic writing is effective. You must use textualevidence from Born a Crime to support your claims.
2. Noah represents himself as someone who always played hard and fast with laws
and rules because he saw no real harm in it, eventually making money by buying
stolen goods and pirating music off the internet. However, eventually he
concludes that what he was doing was wrong.
Write a 7-paragraph arguing or not Noah’s contribution for his crimes led to
his personal growth. You must use textual evidence from Born a Crime to
support your claims.
3. Family and other types of support systems are at the core of Noah’s story. For
example, he continuously highlights the critical role his mother, family members,
and friends played in his life. This view stands in stark contrast to dominant
Western ideas of individualism as reflected in the Rap music he often listened to
his youth.
Write a 7paragraph essay arguing whether or not Noah’s support systems
were crucial to his success. You must use textual evidence from Born a Crime
to support your claims.

ESSAY #3— Classical Argument
Essay 3 is a classical argument essay. Your goal is to present a convincing argument on one of the prescribed
topics by using outside sources to support your argument. You MUST use the text Born A Crime.
Genre/Medium:
Exposition/ Typed essay
Purpose:
The writer of an expository essay uses examples to explain a point and/or topic to the reader. For
this assignment you will write an expository essay that follows the seven-paragraph essay
format on one of the essay topics listed below.
Format:
Your seven-paragraph essay must contain a concrete closed (parallel, three-point) thesis
statement at the end of the first paragraph and follow the MLA guidelines. This means that
your essay should make use of topic sentences and connectors for your body paragraphs. Such
formatting is the foundation of effective communication in writing in the classroom.
Audience: This essay will target a scholarly audience. Therefore, your language and style should meet the
intellectual needs of individuals who read on a collegiate level and pique their interests. Remember
that you are writing to an audience that consists of classmates and the professor who have are
familiar with the topic but bring a different understanding on the topic?
Stance/role: What attitude and information (about yourself as a student) will you convey through the
analysis essay? Think about what you want to communicate to the reader (i.e., the professor)
and convey your stance throughout your essay. Careful wording and sentences will
communicate your stance as a serious student, someone who pays attention to details. Sloppy
writing will communicate that you are a sloppy student or person.
Use of evidence and reasoned arguments will also communicate your effort on the assignment
similarly. Therefore, you need to develop your writing using evidence from the film and lay out
your analysis in a reasoned manner.
Instructions: Outline and Draft a seven-paragraph essay on one of the prompts below.
Peer review the essay with your classmates (or take it to the SVWC for tutoring help or use
the Smart thinking resource on Blackboard)
Revise the draft to address their feedback.
Submit final draft and Revision Memo.
Requirements for completing assignment:
1. An Annotated Bibliography of 4 sources
2. A Peer Review (in class) and through an outside source.
3. Final Essay + Revision Memo
Directions:
1. Brainstorm and outline: Before choosing your topic, you should consider what you want to write about. Once
you have chosen your topic, you should decide where you stand on the issue.
2. Research: Next, you want to develop your position with evidence—research—that will validate your point.
You will need to use at least 4 sources of support for your essay (one of them will be Born a Crime). To get
started on this make use of the library course guide for English 101:
http://bowiestate.libguides.com/c.php?g=442209&p=3374097
This research will be written up as an annotated bibliography of 4 secondary sources (one of them will be
Born a crime by Trevor Noah). Each source should be listed in a standard MLA format and a summary
paragraph of it should be provided below. Refer to the model of the annotated bibliography provided.
3. Writing: Present your argument in a way that convinces the reader that your perspective is a valid one.
Remember, this essay should have a specific, detailed, three-point thesis statement. It should use topic sentences
to anchor each paragraph and research-based exposition to layout the point.
4. Reviewing and editing: You will draft an essay for peer review. To proceed with this process, you must
initially do a review in class using the peer review sheets provided and through the Smith Vidal Literacy and
Language Center.
5. Finishing up and writing a reflection memo: You will, finally, edit your essay based on the feedback provided
by your reviewers and write-up a memo recapping your understanding of the writing process (refer to the model.)
