Assignment Step 1: Write the First Draft

Use your outline from Week 4 to write a 2.5–3 page informative essay (page requirement does not include title page or references page). Write your essay to inform your audience about your selected topic. Include one source from the Capella library as support. In your informative essay, identify and explain how a concept, subject, or experience within your discipline drives your academic and career interests. You can choose from the following disciplines: nursing, public health, business, information technology, or psychology.

In this assignment, you are not persuading, or trying to convince your reader of something. Ask yourself: What does my reader need to know?

In your paper:

Explain your selected topic.
Support your explanation of the topic with academic research from one journal article.
Develop text using organization, structure, and transitions that demonstrate understanding of cohesion between main and subtopics.
Apply proper formatting, including a title page, correct margins, font, and spacing.
Integrate into text appropriate use of scholarly sources and evidence.
