FINAL EXAM ESSAY – ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY ASSIGNMENT
Instructions: Choose one of the following topics and plan and compose a five-paragraph argumentative essay. When you are composing this essay, remember to include all the necessary characteristics of a proper argumentative essay: 1) an introductory paragraph that presents the background of the issue, includes discussion of the opposite view, and presents a thesis that states the issue and position on the issue; 2) a three-paragraph body that presents and adequately and specifically develops three sound, logical reasons in support of the position on the issue; and 3) a strong conclusion that makes the last firm, logical appeal to the reader. Remember also to write this essay in third person only (no first “I” or second person “you”). Furthermore, you must use at least one outside reputable source (magazine, newspaper, or journal article) in support of your argument. Your paper must include parenthetical citations for the use of the source within the body of the essay itself and a works cited page at the end of the essay. Parenthetical citations and the works cited page must be formatted according to MLA guidelines.
