In a well-developed essay, examine the effects of unintentional (as discussed by Deborah Tannen in “But What Do You Mean”) miscommunication between men and women on their relationships. Consider, for instance, whether certain misleading information can be harmful or helpful in the family or at work.
So, the topic of your essay is “miscommunication.” Men and women often do not seem to speak the same language–that is your focus.
Directions: The length of the final draft should be three and a half pages, double-spaced. (Plus single-spaced outline—1 page).
In your thesis, express a clear opinion and briefly name an effect.
In your introduction, summarize “But What Do You Mean” by Deborah Tannen.
Use at least two or more quotations and/or paraphrases from the essay.
Through independent research, find an essay that focuses on male/female miscommunication written by Tannen or another author. Integrate two quotations or paraphrases in your essay.
No other sources are allowed!
Provide well-developed and specific examples from personal experience as well. You can also submit a typed outline.
