In this paper you will write a developed, nuanced, researched argument on a topic related your major or dream job. Think of this as an entry point into key debates and discussions central to your field or discipline. This project is intended as a way for you to demonstrate your mastery of each of the skills and concepts taught over the course of the 1101 and 1102 sequence, including analysis, critical reading, rhetoric and argumentation, advanced writing skills, and source use, while also allowing you to start thinking like a professional in your field. Choose a topic, formulate a central question, research it extensively, and write an essay arguing your stance, informed by your research, using the classical argumentation model (see Allyn and Bacon “Writing a Classical Argument,” module 7). This is not an informative essay; it is a persuasive argument. You will use closed-form prose to create a strong, nuanced, and original thesis which indicates your stance on your topic. How do you figure out your stance on an arguable issue with many points of view? You read the existing scholarship until you are able to form an educated stance. Your paper should include at least 6 sources, 4 of which must be scholarly sources. Up to 2 sources may be non-scholarly, or “popular.” Sources should be used add complexity and evidence to your argument, not to write the paper for you. In other words, your voice must be the dominant voice in your essay and you should organize the essay around your ideas rather than around the sources. It is recommended that you not have more than one block quote per essay. You must submit a works cited page along with your final draft. Please see the attached evaluation form for the full list of criteria.
