AUDIENCE: You should assume that your audience for this particular essay is comprised of readers who either have not taken a position on the issue you are writing about or who disagree with your position on the issue. Consequently, the tone of your essay should be polite yet assertive; you want to avoid alienating your audience; if you blast the other side and adopt an aggressive, belligerent tone, you run the risk of causing your audience to dismiss your argument as unreasonable.
FORM: 12-font, double spaced, current MLA format, In-Text Citations from 5 or more secondary sources (books, magazines, literary journals, newspapers, microfilm, electronic literary databases, the Internet). You must use credible sources; the library databases are highly recommended.
CONTENT: You will take a position on a controversial issue such as the topics below:
• Piercings or tattoos for under-18s
• Affirmative Action
• Legalizing drugs
• Capital Punishment
• Racial Profiling
If you wish to write on a different topic you can, but you MUST make sure regardless of topic that it is suitable in scope (neither too narrow nor too broad) for a 6-8 page Research Paper. This means that you will have to narrow your topic in order to create an effective thesis statement that makes a well-focused claim.
Introduce your thesis by first providing some recent history of the controversy surrounding the issue. After giving your thesis, you will provide points to support your overall claim throughout the body of your paper as well as reasons and evidence from the outside sources that you have consulted in order to provide relevant, well-organized support.
Make sure you include a summary of at least one of the strongest opposing arguments before you offer your own rebuttal(s) and perhaps some concession.
Try to make your points appear in order of weakest to strongest.
Also, make sure that you include at least 5 quotes total—at least one from each of your secondary sources.
Introduce each quote and provide commentary afterwards that relates the quote back to your main points and ideas. YOU MUST PROVIDE AT LEAST 5 IN-TEXT CITATIONS FOR YOUR PAPER TO BE PASSING. EACH SOURCE OF YOUR IN-TEXT CITATIONS MUST APPEAR ON YOUR WORKS CITED PAGE.
Be sure to also include a variety of sentence patterns, making use of devices that we have studied throughout the semester, such as anaphora.
YOU MUST ALSO PROVIDE A WORKS CITED PAGE WITH AT LEAST 5 SECONDARY SOURCES.
