Description Length: 5 full pages Assignment: These instructions are the exact same as Paper # 1. The only differences are: 1) You need need to pick a new topic, and 2) there is obviously a new due date. It’s literally the exact same assignment, with the exact same instructions, graded on the exact same criteria. Pick a new topic and do it again. Here are those instructions again, if you need them: Choose a topic you are interested in. It should be a topic about which people disagree—there must be some kind of debate around the issue. This can be something “important” like a social or political issue, or it could be something “lighter,” such as sports, movies, or anything people argue about and/or discuss. In your Annotated Bibliography, your job was to research other people’s viewpoints. This time, it’s your turn to add to the conversation. Write a paper in which you take a clear side, and make an argument for your position. Find sources that agree with you, and sources that disagree. Keep in mind that many topics have more than just two sides; there may be several points of view, depending on how complex your subject is. A paper must have: A thesis statement! What is a thesis statement? It sums up your position on the issue. Also, it: –is a complete sentence –offers an opinion, not a fact –is not a question –uses active voice –is not a “topic” –uses the word “should” (or “shouldn’t”) Supporting evidence! Find reputable sources that back up your opinion. Paraphrase or quote them in your paper. Opposing views: Find reputable sources that DISAGREE with your opinion. Paraphrase or quote them in your paper. Explain why you disagree with them. Personal/anecdotal evidence (optional): If you have personal or anecdotal evidence, feel free to use it. But this is weaker than evidence from outside sources. Use personal or anecdotal evidence to BACK UP what your outside sources are saying. Personal or anecdotal evidence by itself is rarely strong enough to make a good argument. Sources: Use at least 5 sources for this paper. In addition to quoting and/or paraphrasing your sources within the paper, cite all sources on a Works Cited page using MLA format. Within the paper, use parenthetical citations. (The Works Cited page does NOT count toward your page count.) Other stuff: –Microsoft Word doc –Double-space, Times New Roman, 12-point font, regular margins! –Number your pages! –Put your name on it! Length: 5 full pages/over 1400 words Grading: Do you have a clear thesis? (5) Do you have supporting evidence? (5) Do you have opposing viewpoints? (5) Correct documentation/formatting (5) Spelling/grammar (5)
