**** Over the last few weeks, we have examined the role writing and argument have while exploring a variety of topics that impact a larger audience. For this assignment, research an issue that impacts your community/region/state or major/career field. Highlight the issue and provide a breakdown of the varying or opposing views.
Keep the following guidelines in mind when developing your draft:
Topic: The topic you choose should be manageable with a narrowed focus. This is a short essay with limited room to address an issue concisely, so choose a narrowly focused topic.
Thesis: Your thesis statement should be in your introductory paragraph. It should show your reader the stance and purpose of your argument and how you will address the change needed for the issue you present.
Background: In your introduction, provide some background on the key issue and provide a breakdown of the varying or opposing views of the issue following the “they say/I say” approach.
Argument Style: Adopt one of the three argument styles for your approach that matches your essay’s purpose: Classical, Toulmin, or Rogerian. (Refer to the lectures in Week 3.) How will you develop and organize your essay to fit one of these models?
Make Connections: Show the relationship between 3-4 claims that support your thesis. Your goal is to support the connections you present in the body of your essay. Research must be scholarly from the Stafford Library databases.
Use Evidence: Use at least four peer-reviewed sources from the Stafford Library databases. Provide a detailed and accurate citation that includes the DOI for each. Be sure to integrate these sources into your argument.
Conclusion: In your conclusion, show your reader why this issue is important and why they should consider the changes you introduce.
Follow the Conventions: Adopt the conventions of academic writing that you learned throughout the course.
MLA formatting: Use MLA formatting, including one-inch margins, double-spacing, in-text parenthetical citations, and a Works Cited list.
Refer to the Assignment Expectations in the Start Here module for topic suggestions and more details.
Your rough draft should be at least 750 words in length. The final draft, due in Week 8, is expected to be at least 1,000 words in length.
