HOMEWORK. What drives a person to be an attention-seeker?

Detailed Writing Task: The Complexity of Attention-Seeking Behavior

Objective: To develop a nuanced understanding of attention-seeking behavior by writing a structured, well-researched essay that incorporates different perspectives on the topic.

Duration: Assigned as homework, with 1 week for completion.

Task Description:

  1. Topic: Students will write an essay on the following topic:

    β€œIs attention-seeking behavior inherently negative, or can it have positive aspects in human development and social interaction?”

  2. Essay Requirements:

    • The essay should be 1,000-1,200 words in length.
    • It should include an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
    • Students are encouraged to consider multiple perspectives:
      • Psychological Causes: Discuss the psychological reasons behind attention-seeking behavior, including childhood development, social needs, and personality traits.
      • Social Media Influence: Examine how the rise of social media has amplified attention-seeking behaviors and discuss both the positive and negative effects.
      • Positive and Negative Outcomes: Analyze scenarios in which attention-seeking leads to positive results (e.g., personal growth, self-expression) versus negative outcomes (e.g., emotional dependence, strained relationships).
    • Critical Evaluation: Include arguments both in favor of and against attention-seeking behavior. Address counterarguments to show depth of analysis.
    • Personal Reflection: In the conclusion, students should reflect on their own experiences or observations of attention-seeking behavior, and how their understanding has evolved after researching the topic. Additionally, students must incorporate vocabulary from the previous lesson into their reflection.

  3. Research Guidelines:

    • Use at least 4-5 credible sources, including academic articles, books, or reputable websites. Students are encouraged to cite psychologists, sociologists, or experts who have explored human behavior.
    • List all sources used at the end of the essay.

  4. Structure of the Essay:

    • Introduction (100-150 words): Introduce the concept of attention-seeking behavior, provide background information, and present a clear thesis statement outlining the focus of the essay.
    • Body Paragraphs (700-900 words):
      1. Psychological Perspective: Explain the psychological motivations behind attention-seeking, citing theories or experts (e.g., Freud’s theory of the ego, attachment theory).
      2. Impact of Social Media: Discuss how platforms like Instagram, TikTok, etc., have created new forms of attention-seeking. Consider both positive impacts (e.g., community building) and negative consequences (e.g., addiction to likes).
      3. Positive Aspects: Present arguments that attention-seeking can contribute positively to self-esteem, creativity, and human interaction, using examples from real-life or research.
      4. Negative Aspects: Address the potential downsides, such as emotional exhaustion, manipulative behavior, or negative social perceptions.
      5. Counterarguments: Provide counterpoints to challenge initial views and enrich the discussion.
    • Conclusion (100-150 words): Summarize key points and provide a final perspective on whether attention-seeking behavior should be seen as inherently negative, a necessary part of human interaction, or something more nuanced.

  5. Assessment Criteria:

    • Clarity and Coherence: Logical flow of ideas, clear thesis, well-structured paragraphs.
    • Depth of Analysis: Consideration of multiple perspectives, ability to critique sources, and depth of research.
    • Use of Evidence: Incorporation of credible sources and appropriate referencing.
    • Personal Insight: Demonstrates personal reflection and insight into the topic.
    • Language and Style: Academic tone, grammar, and vocabulary suited to a C2-level proficiency.

  6. Follow-Up Activity:

    • After submission, students will upload their essays to Google Docs and share them in Google Classroom. Each student will then participate in a peer review activity by providing feedback on another student’s essay regarding structure, argument strength, and clarity.
