Assignment Instructions
This week, you will write a persuasive research paper. A persuasive paper is an essay used to convince a reader about a particular idea or focus, usually one that you believe in.
Your persuasive essay could be based on anything about which you have an opinion. Whether you’re arguing against junk food at school or petitioning for a raise from your boss, the persuasive essay is a skill that everyone should know. Here is a great article if you need some ideas to get started: https://www.time4writing.com/writing-resources/writing-resourcespersuasive-essay/ (Links to an external site.).
To write a persuasive essay, you can follow this outline:
Introductory Paragraph
Grab the reader’s attention by using a “hook.”
Give an overview of the argument.
Close with a thesis statement that reveals the position to be argued.
“Body” Paragraphs That Provide Support For Your Argument (while three “points” are listed here, you’ll need more paragraphs than that in order to meet your page count)
Side A – All the facts and reasoning that supports your paper’s argument
Side B – What is the counterargument, and why is it incorrect or why does it not discredit your argument
Remember not to “speak” in your paper with personal pronouns (like “I” or “my”,) as you want your paper to speak to the reader, not you personally
Each body paragraph should focus on one piece of evidence.
Within each paragraph, provide sufficient supporting detail.
Concluding Paragraph
Restate and reinforce the thesis and supporting evidence.
Here’s an example of the structure for this essay:
Introductory Paragraph
“There are many types of pets a human can choose, but is there a better choice? Cats and dogs both have their benefits, but Cats are better because they are easier to care for.”
Supporting “Body” Paragraphs
Side A – Cats are better, and why.
Side B – Why some people say Dogs are better, and why this is incorrect.
Concluding Paragraph
“After reviewing all the evidence, it is clear that Cats are better because…”
Here is a sample of a topic you might choose to write about (though you can choose another medical topic, if you prefer): “Nursing is a Woman’s Job”
You can use the LIRN to find sources which support your paper (remember, you can choose your own topic or use the above example.)
To get to the LIRN database search engine, click on the “Library” link in your Canvas Course Page, and then click “Go to the course.”
From the left-side list of links, click “LIRN Library.” Now you have a page from which you can search all the LIRN databases.
This essay has the following requirements.
12 pt, Times New Roman, double-spaced, 1 inch margins
Avoid personal language/references (see the Week 6 reading for tips)
