Read/review the following resources for this activity:
Textbook: Chapter 15
Lesson
Completed Week 5 Source Evaluation Worksheet (included
annotated bibliography)
Minimum of 5 scholarly sources
Introduction
This week, all the hard work you have done in researching your
topic and issue will come to fruition in your argumentative
paper. Once you feel you have got the final draft, try to put the
paper aside, even for a few hours, and then read it again.
Did you address at least three aspects of the issue you chose?
Does each aspect have relevant and authoritative evidence in
support of your point?
Have you included a view that is in opposition to your
viewpoint, and have you answered that opposing view, pointing
out its flaws in such a way as to refute it?
Edit your paper – look for wordiness, repetition, vagueness,
ambiguities. Check the organization of the paper as a whole;
make sure each paragraph maintains focus. After you are
satisfied that the content of your paper is good, carefully
proofread it and correct mechanical errors.
Here is a brief breakdown of the project so that you can plan
your time in the course:

Week 7
Argumentative Paper
Instructions
This week, you will complete your argumentative paper.
Following the directions in assigned textbook reading on how
write an argumentative essay on the issue you chose in Week 1.
Be sure your essay contains the following:
An opening paragraph that states a clear thesis that is focused,
plausible, and arguable and that gives direction and purpose to
the paper
A fair-minded, balanced, and objective development of the pros
and cons of the issue in a well-organized sequence of ideas, free
of mechanical errors
Credible, reliable, and authoritative evidence in support of the
points made
A strong conclusion that summarizes your views, reminds the
audience of the issue and its importance, and shows in brief that
you have successfully defended your thesis
Note
As you do your research, it is permissible to change your
sources. Also, because of the recency and relevance of these
issues, no sources older than 5 years should be used other than
as historical information. Critical thinkers do the research first
and then side with the preponderance of evidence. You might
want to follow that principle.
