Touchstone 3.1: Construct a Rogerian Argument
ASSIGNMENT: As you learned in this unit, a Rogerian argument is one that presents two sides of a debate and argues for a solution that will satisfy both sides. Given the two articles linked below that present opposing sides of an issue (mandatory uniforms in schools), construct your own 2-3 page Rogerian argument essay in which you attempt to arrive at a concrete, workable solution or “middle ground.”

The essay should contain the following components:
❒ I) An introduction that presents both sources (i.e., author, title, year of publication, and position in the debate) and your middle ground thesis statement.
❒ II) A body paragraph that summarizes the pro-uniform rationales.
❒ III) A body paragraph that summarizes the anti-uniform rationales.
❒ IV) A body paragraph that critically compares and contrasts both sides of the debate.
❒ V) A conclusion that further develops your proposed middle ground solution and demonstrates how it satisfies both sides of the debate.

Article 1: “School Dress Codes and Uniform Policies”
Article 2: “Dressing Diversity: Politics of Difference and the Case of School Uniforms”

Which of these tests is not suitable for evaluating the rehabilitation program? Explain.
Cite at least 1 scholarly source according to APA guidelines to support your thinking.
