From Instructor:
Your assignment this week is to write an outline of your evaluation argument. I am attaching two examples for you to look at; both of them are well done. I’d suggest everyone follow the instructions for the assignment as closely as possible. You will notice that both examples have the information that’s required for the assignment: an introduction, claim, reasons, a counterargument, and MLA-cited sources.

Attached is the PDF of two examples, read carefully.
