Purpose: This assignment should help you solidify your skills with formal
arguments.
Assignment: Write an argument where you persuade your readers to adapt a
particular position on police brutality. A well-rounded argument will consider
opposing viewpoints and attempt to refute them.
Ways to Proceed: The issue concerning police brutality has more than one
side even if you do not think that it does. First, do some prewriting to figure
out what YOUR position is. Define all sides of the argument: for, against, and
in the middle. Lay out arguments for your position ( need for 1st body paragraph)
. Next, lay out those arguments against your position. You must be able to understand opposing
viewpoints if you plan to neutralize their arguments. Finally, craft an essay
where you persuade readers that your opinion is the most reasonable position
on this issue. Such an essay will naturally try to dissuade readers from
dissenting opinions. You must incorporate a counterargument and refute the
opposing arguments by neutralizing it and finding flaws (via fallacies or the
fact that such stated positions are clearly unreasonable). A well-rounded and
thoughtful essay will make your position seem the most rational while
accurately neutralizing opposing arguments.
Criteria for Evaluation:
must include an annotated works cited page for your three credible sources. It
must be typed, double-spaced, with one-inch margins, which follows MLA
formatting. The three credible sources are as follows: one supporting your
position, one supporting an opposing viewpoint (counterclaim), and one
reference to the documentary LA92. These three sources must be annotated.
All other sources can simply be cited in MLA format below the annotated
sources.
