Expository Essay on Carol Shelby

  Your assignment for paper 2 is to write an informative paper about someone working the field you are currently pursuing. Will you be a nurse? Find a nurse to interview. A business manager? Talk to a business manager working in your area of interest. I highly encourage you to think hard about this assignment and don’t choose someone you know. Choose someone you aspire to. That means you will need to talk to a stranger (and I know that can be intimidating), but you will get more out of the assignment—much more—if your interview is focused on your area of interest. If you aren’t sure what career you will pursue, choose something you are leaning toward, and perhaps this paper will help you make that choice. The paper should have a controlling thesis (“What did you learn about the career/person overall?” is a good place to start), and content should answer the who/what/when/where/why and how discussed in the lecture.
