When the Assignment Is a Question
In some assignments, you are given questions instead of direction words. Here’s an example:
What were the issues, successes, and failures of the Civil Rights movement from the 1960s through the 1970s?
Notice that there are no direction words. For this type of essay prompt, you will need to determine the word
or words yourself. Reread the question, paying careful attention to each word. Notice it begins with What were.
This is a good clue that you should identify the issues, successes, and failures.
Translating questions into directions can be tricky, but it’s a critical step in understanding the prompt. You
need to determine exactly how you’re supposed to respond to the subject. The following chart lists common ques-
tion words and corresponding direction words.
