Assignment Prompt:
Using the Gale Opposing Viewpoints in Context website (see link below), choose a topic. Please keep in mind that you need to be able to treat each side of the issue objectively and fairly — so, as always, it’s a good idea to pick something that interests you, but make sure that it isn’t something that you already have a strong, unwavering opinion on. Choose at least three (3) articles from the Viewpoints tab for each side of the issue (so that’s a total of SIX articles). Read through each of the sources, taking detailed notes as you go along. Then, for each viewpoint, craft a clear and explicit thesis statement in support of each viewpoint and write a standard five paragraph essay for each viewpoint. You will have an Introduction that discusses relevant background information, three body paragraphs to support your claim, and a Conclusion that goes beyond a simple summary and responds to the Who Cares/What’s Next questions. Minimum Requirements: Six Sources (Three for each Viewpoint) Two Clear, Explicit Thesis Statements Standard Five Paragraph Essay on each Viewpoint Sufficient Details/Examples MLA Formatted Works Cited Page Proper MLA Document Format Minimum Grammatical Mistakes
