ENGLISH 1121: COLLEGE WRITING AND CRITICAL READING
SAMPLE STUDENT PAPERS

  • Students from past English 1121 classes have been gracious enough to give me permission to use their work as examples of work fulfilling assignments in English 1121.

  • Please feel free to review these samples of student writing to get ideas as to how to approach various writing assignments.

  • Keep in mind that the sample papers are not necessarily those papers that received an A, nor are they necessarily the best examples of how to approach the specific writing challenge.  They are simply samples that students were willing to share with future students.

  • The assignments presented here may not meet all of the requirements for current assignments, as assignment parameters and requirements do change from semester to semester.

  • Remember that although these papers are presented anonymously to maintain student confidentiality, they remain the property of the original students.  No part of any of the sample student papers should be reproduced in any way, or used in any other students' writing;  to do so would be plagiarism.
