Assignment Details
Assignment Description
The word argument usually conjures up images of agitated people disagreeing with each other, often emotionally. In academic writing, the argument or persuasive essay is
not about confrontation. Instead, this essay relies on detailed evidence, cool logic, and precise language to persuade readers to accept a viewpoint or to take an action. This
ability to make a reasonable, persuasive case for your point of view can be one of the most important skills for your advancement in the workplace.
For this Individual Project, you should either choose one of the topics below or devise one of your own (with your instructor’s approval) and write a short argument or
persuasive essay. As you discovered in your reading, you will assert a position on the topic and then defend that position so well that others might agree with you.
Remember, the argument or persuasive essay is not a personal rant. Your goal is to appear unbiased.
One of the ways of achieving a level of objectivity is to consider counterarguments against your position. Therefore, at least one of your paragraphs should include some
discussion of a counterargument. For example, if you write in favor of abolishing the death penalty, you might devote some discussion to the loved ones of a murder victim,
the need for these survivors to gain closure, or even their demands that the perpetrator meet a similar fate as the loved one taken from them.

ENG 123 Assignment 2, Milestone 1 Guidelines and Rubric
5-6 Draft
Overview: Persuasion is a constant in each and every one of our lives. No matter where we look, what we read, what we see, or who we interact with, we are
inevitably going to encounter some form of persuasion. Advertisements want us to buy things. Newspapers and television want to convince us of what we should
feel about events. We are put into positions where we must defend our thoughts and beliefs to others, and the process we apply is typically some form of
persuasion.
Persuasive writing is one of the most powerful forms of writing—it has the ability to influence one’s thoughts, and also the ability to change one’s mind about a
particular issue. The persuasive essay is an ideal opportunity to support an opinion on an issue utilizing researched facts and information. This also gives the
chance to recognize that there is an opposing viewpoint to a position and to refute the opposing argument, noting that those who hold the opposing viewpoints
are the intended audience of the piece.
Prompt: For this milestone, you will submit a draft of your persuasive essay. At this point in the course, if you have completed the previous milestone guided
activities, the text boxes should be combined and transformed into a draft. This milestone will help you address the critical elements from Sections I–III below,
which will ultimately inform your final submission of the persuasive essay. You have until the deadline to work on this draft. Whatever is completed by the
deadline will be submitted to your instructor for grading and feedback.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Introduction
This is where readers will have a chance to get an idea of what your essay will be about and what you will prove throughout. Do not give all of your
information away here, but give readers a sample of what is to come. Do not forget to review your writing plan to make sure you are hitting all of the
points that you planned out, while also stating your argument.
A. Provides an overview of the issue you have selected, briefly describing main points and your argument.
B. Compose an engaging thesis that states the argument that you will prove and support throughout your essay. This statement will give direction
to your essay and should be well thought out.
II. Body
The body is your opportunity to describe and support your argument in depth. Make sure your thoughts and evidence are clear and organized in a way
that is easy for readers to follow and understand.
A. Be sure that you write multiple paragraphs that are focused, clearly state their intent, and move logically from one to the other, building the
thesis argument as the essay progresses.
B. Your body paragraphs should support your argument by combining thoughts and ideas with evidence from sources. There is no such thing as a
right or wrong argument; the key is how it is support ...

Overview
A summary/response is a natural consequence of the reading and annotating process. In this type of essay, writers capture the controlling idea and the supporting details of a text and respond by agreeing or disagreeing and then explaining why.
The first step after active reading is writing a summary. Writing summaries is a common practice in college. They pull together the general conclusions and approaches of experts who have done research in a particular subject. Summaries should be written in your own words although you could include short quoted excerpts if you decide the author’s or speaker’s words summarize a point most precisely. Try to use pertinent quotations from the source, working them in gracefully where appropriate. Probably the best way to write a summary is ask yourself the following questions:
--What issues are described, explained or resolved in this work? --What is the controlling idea?
--What are the supporting details?
--What results or conclusions are made?
--What opinion does the author want readers to keep in mind about this topic? --What information does the author use to convince readers?
After you have written your summary, double-check to be sure that all facts you included are correct.
Summary Writing Guidelines
To move from an outline to a draft of a summary, follow these guidelines:
1. a) State the author’s name and the title of the text you’re summarizing in the first 1-2 sentences of the summary.
2. b) Express the author’s main idea in your own words in the first 1-2 sentences of the summary (no more than three words in a row from the text you’re summarizing.).
Due Date 1159 p.m. EST, Sunday, of Unit 7 Points 100
Due Date: 11:59 p.m. EST, Sunday, of Unit 7
Points: 100
Overview:
Over the course of the last few units, you have been working on crafting the argument
for your Argument Essay. You will now write an argument essay that answers one of
these questions.
The essay should answer ONE of these questions:
1. Should climate change be considered a real issue or a hoax?
2. Should the United States have universal health care?
3. Should employers have access to employee’s social media content?
Each of the above questions relate to one of the issues you have already written about
in the Unit 4 Assignment: Pro and Con of an Issue. Now, choose one side of the issue
to develop into an argument essay.
You should answer ONE of the above questions in a well-thought out and developed
argument essay with:
• A clear introduction that sets up the issue, explains your topics, and ends with your
thesis statement.
• Body paragraphs focusing on one topic in support of your argument in each paragraph.
o You need three reliable and academic sources for this assignment in support of
your argument. You should include evidence that is directly quoted, paraphrased,
or summarized to support each topic. The evidence should have appropriate in-
text citations.
o You will typically want to include one piece of evidence in the body of each
paragraph, as you did in the paragraph and pro/con assignment. You are not
required to include a source about the counterargument (other side of your
argument), but you may if you would like.
• Then, end with a conclusion that wraps up your essay’s argument and leaves the reader
with something to consider about your issue.
ENG110 – College Writing
Argument Essay
• Include a references page for the three sources you used in your essay.
You can use the ideas from your Pro/Con paragraphs in your argument essay, but
they should be revised and reworded so that you are not just resubmitting your
Unit 4 assignment.
Argument Essay and Third Person, Objective Writing
We have probably all had to argue for a position we held. What makes someone
receptive to your argument? Normally, the audience is more willing to listen to your
position if you argue for it objectively and avoid unreasonable, argumentative tactics.
Your argument needs to be logical and fair, giving people the ability to disagree with
you.
Your argument also should be written in the third person to show that you can be
objective, meaning you use “He,” “she,” “they,” “people,” “one” and do not use “I,” “me,”
“we,” “us,” “our,” “you,” and “your.”
Instructions:
• Create an argument essay that answers ONE of the above questions.
• You should have a well-articulated argument essay with an introduction, body
paragraphs (with evidence), conclusion, and a references page.
Requirements:
• Please submit a Microsoft Word document or PDF.
• The essay should be three to four pages in length ...

- 2. Writing the Thesis Statement Copyright © 2015 by Nelson Education Ltd. Chapter 6 6-2
- 3. The Thesis Statement The thesis statement appears near the beginning of your paper and announces the paper’s subject and scope—all the prewriting work you have done and organized into your outline. A thesis statement is one or more sentences that indicates the subject of your paper, the main points you will discuss, and the order in which you will discuss them. Copyright © 2015 by Nelson Education Ltd. 6-3
- 4. Writing the Thesis Statement A thesis statement in a short paper is usually a single sentence at the end of the first paragraph, but in a lengthy paper on complicated issues, it might be several sentences or even a paragraph long. To write a thesis statement, you combine your subject and your main points. Copyright © 2015 by Nelson Education Ltd. 6-4
- 5. Phrasing Your Statement of Subject 1 The first part of a thesis statement is the statement of subject. It identifies your idea about or your approach to your subject and states a viewpoint that must be explained or proved. The main points provide the explanation or proof. Copyright © 2015 by Nelson Education Ltd. 6-5
- 6. Phrasing Your Statement of Subject 2 Your statement of subject should be as clear and concise as you can make it. It should also grab your reader’s attention or provide a provocative idea. Poor: In this essay, I am going to discuss violence in hockey. (What about it?) Better: Violence in hockey is misunderstood by the non-playing public. Copyright © 2015 by Nelson Education Ltd. 6-6
- 7. Phrasing the Main Points When you combine your statement of subject with your main points to form a thesis statement, be sure that your points are in grammatically parallel form. Copyright © 2015 by Nelson Education Ltd. 6-7
- 8. Phrasing the Main Points: Example Poor: Of the many qualities that combine to make a good nurse, the three most important are strength, intelligence, and she must be compassionate. Better: Of the many qualities that combine to make a good nurse, the three most important are strength, intelligence, and compassion. Copyright © 2015 by Nelson Education Ltd. 6-8
- 9. Thesis Statement Process 1. Select a subject (or consider the one you were given). 2. Test whether your subject is significant, single, specific, and supportable. 3. Using either a bottom-up or a top-down approach to generate ideas, identify three to five main points in support of your subject. Copyright © 2015 by Nelson Education Ltd. 6-9
- 10. Thesis Statement Process cont’d 4. Test whether your main points are all significant, distinct, and clearly related to your subject. 5. Arrange your main points in the order that is most likely to guarantee your readers’ understanding of your subject: chronological, climactic, logical, or random. Copyright © 2015 by Nelson Education Ltd. 6-10
- 11. Thesis Statement Process cont’d 6. Rewrite your main points so that they are grammatically parallel: all single words, all phrases, or all clauses. 7. Combine your statement of subject with your main points to produce a thesis statement. Copyright © 2015 by Nelson Education Ltd. 6-11
- 12. Putting the Thesis Elsewhere As a beginning writer, you are best advised to start your paper with your controlling ideas up front. Some advanced and highly experienced writers move their thesis around a bit to the middle or even at the end of the paper. These essays are usually written as part of longer works. Copyright © 2015 by Nelson Education Ltd. 6-12
