English I (Pre-AP): Timed Expository Writing (Fear in Society)

Read the information in the box below.

In 1933, when taking office for the first time, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt announced in his inaugural address, “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.”

Sometimes fears become overblown, while other times they’re justified. Think carefully about this statement.

Write an essay explaining the role fear plays in society.

Be sure to —
  • clearly state your thesis
  • organize and develop your ideas effectively
  • choose your words carefully
  • edit your writing for grammar, mechanics, and spelling

Maximum length: 26 lines
