Essay: Your essay assignment is to write a 1000+ word (4 full pages) argumentative essay using research with MLA 8th ed. documentation. (Word count does not include Works Cited page!) In an argumentative essay, you must take a stance on an issue and argue that position using logic and evidence to support your claim. The stance you decide on should concern a topic you care about so that argument is a means of convincing readers to accept an idea, not an end to itself. **It is highly recommended that students have a tutor look at their essay before final submission.
Sources: For this unit, you will be required to use a minimum number of different, reliable, scholarly sources. The library’s databases should be your first place to look. (Opposing Viewpoints would be a good start!) You will need to do research and find 5-10 scholarly sources (none any older than 5 years); look at our databases, books or e-books, or even conduct your own research. Only 1 source may come from the open internet (.com, .org, .net websites). Consult your professor for sources that are older but have relevant information. You must use summary, paraphrase, and quotes from the sources, and you should use MLA in-text citations and include an MLA-formatted Works Cited page. Research and use of MLA is required. Assignments that do not include research will receive a 0.
