Write an essay that argues a position on an issue that has distinct opposing ideas. Engage in an argument concerning an issue that has not been resolved–especially an issue with multiple viewpoints. For example, consider a reporter going to the scene of a car accident, interviewing six different witnesses and getting six different perspectives. It happens. That is why research/evidence comes into play. However, you must take a stance in this paper, consider at least one opposing argument, then come back and describe where your viewpoint is more solid, especially if your viewpoint can lead to a resolution, compromise or “call to action.”
The Essay: 8-10 pages (2400-3000 words). The format of the paper should follow MLA style which can be found in your handbook. The paper must have at least four cited sources. Your sources must include two academic books, one academic article/essay, and one academic internet source. Failure to include these four specific sources in your essay will result in a significant grade deduction. Do not expect to rely on random websites such as the History Channel or other similar sites for factual information. Realize that many such websites do not seek to inform viewers on facts, but also add in entertaining ideas.
