The document provides information on argumentative essays, including their purpose and structure. Argumentative essays are used to convince the reader of a particular opinion by presenting reasons and evidence to support an argument, while also refuting any opposing arguments. There are three common organizational patterns for structuring an argumentative essay: presenting the argument and then addressing counterarguments; addressing counterarguments and then presenting the argument; or addressing each counterargument individually before the overall argument. The essay should be logically presented using facts and examples rather than strong personal opinions.

Informative Speech Controversial Issue This is a speech clarif.docx
Informative Speech / Controversial Issue
: This is a speech clarifying a controversial issue of current interest, which you will address much like an investigative news report. The purpose of this assignment is to share knowledge from
BOTH sides
of the issue in a strictly objective manner, to build understanding. This will enable your audience to make an informed/educated decision about a currently debated issue. It will be your responsibility to present information
equally representing both sides of the issue
. You will need to develop at least two arguments on each side of the controversy and support those ideas with cited factual information and supporting evidence. When discussing each side of the issue you should be able to defend that position against opposing viewpoints, and then do the same for the other side of the same issue. You may develop each side with it’s own arguments; present one side and then the other. Or you may address the controversy in a point Counter Point structure.
Your sources should be stated in the introduction (to establish credibility), cited in the body as they are referred to, and listed in the complete bibliography
at the end of your outline (in MLA format)
