Argumentative Essay
Compose an argumentative essay about mental health and its stigmas, focused specifically on its perception at the present time, 1,000 words minimum in length, paragraphed, that applies MLA-formatting, two in-text citations in two separate supporting paragraphs (one citation in each of those two supporting paragraphs), and a Works Cited page, and that follows the rules of SWE (Standard Written English). This essay is expected to state a central idea about mental health and its stigmas, focused specifically on its perception at the present time, as a thesis, followed by convincing reasons (stated as topic sentences at the beginning of each supporting paragraph) and compelling examples, including the successful implementation of several Critical Thinking techniques, all supporting the central idea in a series of well-developed supporting paragraphs. A conclusion paragraph following the supporting paragraphs is also required.
RUBRIC: 4pts possible
Thesis = 1pt
Support = 1pt
MLA = 1pt
SWE = 1pt
Other Requirements
A title announcing the topic in some way is required. As early as the thesis paragraph, define or at least explain your key terms, that is, define or explain what you mean by “mental health” and “stigmas.” Your ideas for this essay may be inspired by the Week 16-17 anthology readings (Emerging), but those readings must not be used or cited as sources. Instead, include two brief quotes (no more and no less than three (3) lines each), placed in two different supporting paragraphs, and taken from two separate New York Times articles both published in recent years, that deal with the subject of mental health and its stigmas, focused specifically on its perception at the present time. Two quotes are required; only two quotes are permitted; quotes published more than three years ago are not permitted; only quotes published in recent years in the required two separate sources count as acceptable quotes. (Use an ellipsis … or brackets [ ] in the quotes as needed if you omit words from the original quotes for economy and conciseness or add words of your own for clarity and context.) List the required two separate New York Times articles selected by you on a Works Cited page according to MLA formatting and citation standards. The two separate articles are your only sources: two sources are required; only two sources are permitted; only two separate New York Times articles published in recent years, each of which deals with the topic assigned for Essay 6, count as acceptable sources.
Submitting the Essay
Submitted documents that contain less than the required minimum of 1,000 words receive an automatic 0pts. (Double-check your document’s word count before uploading the file to this online platform. When one checks the word count of a .doc or .docx document to be uploaded to Canvas, one opens that document and looks at the number of words listed on the lower left of the screen. The same number is also listed in the Review menu at the top after clicking on Word Count in that drop-down menu. Your submitted document must have a word count listed as “1000 words” or higher on the lower left of the screen, and in the Review menu under Word Count, the same number of words must be stated there as “Words 1000” or higher.) Essay 6 papers submitted after the 5:59 p.m. due date specified under Assignments: Essay 6 are considered late papers; late papers receive an automatic 0pts; revisions after the due date are not allowed; there are no makeups, and there is no extra credit.
Point Score
Four (4) points maximum are assigned based on successful implementation of thesis, support, MLA, and SWE (see RUBRIC above), as defined in the Syllabus.
Detailed Instructions
Additional information about more detailed expectations and requirements, necessary for the assignment’s completion, including the successful implementation of several Critical Thinking techniques (Inductive and Deductive Analysis, Claim Cast) for thesis and support, must be reviewed in the weekly Canvas Announcements. A simplified checklist of the essay’s requirements will be included in the weekly Announcements. Reading that checklist, however, is no substitute for reading the Announcements in their entirety.
Stated Expectations
It is very important to read and understand the Canvas Announcements instead of merely assuming that a paper meets undefined general standards while specific stated expectations remain unknown.
Feedback Protocol
If the score for a paper is 4pts, it should be assumed that the stated expectations have been met. Additional feedback details on points not earned, if any, will not be instructor-imposed but are to be student-requested as needed or desired, an optional step intended to prevent potential emotional-distress triggers for any students who might be vulnerable in this regard. After voluntarily initiating the feedback protocol by contacting the instructor with a MySite email when the score is less than 4pts (again, this is entirely optional), the student is then told by email reply in which of the four categories the expectations were not met and, where necessary or appropriate, referred to the Announcements or sets of Announcements where those are stated.
Using Checklists
Provided with this information, the student can then go through the checklist or checklists to compare the specific stated expectations for the assigned paper with the met or unmet expectations in the submitted paper. Sometimes a student may not be able to figure it out on their own, for instance by reviewing relevant textbook information, and may then contact the instructor again with a follow-up MySite email, whereupon the instructor may reply by MySite email and go into more detail, always as needed or requested. All submitted essays are “returned” like this.
