RESEARCH PAPER ASSIGNMENT
Research to construct and argument of your own, that supports one side of the controversial issue you explored in Unit 3.
Prompt:
Write an argumentative research essay that addresses a controversy related to the topic you worked with from Unit 3.
What are the key points of the issue? Why is the issue important? Who is most affected by the issue? What are some of the consequences or possible solutions? You must select one side of the argument and use persuasive writing techniques (rhetorical devices) to make your point.
Consider the rhetoric and research needed to persuade your audience to agree with you. Avoid logical fallacies that would weaken your argument and be sure to incorporate several sources that supplement your thoughts.
Explore one of the above topics and a related controversy (you may use those above or explore another you have found), specifically supporting one side of the issue.
