Topic: For this essay, you will choose an issue/controversy to explore and present a claim of policy. You must skillfully present an informed, reasoned, and persuasive argument, a claim that captures the best perspective currently available for your issue.
Purpose: You are expected to demonstrate mature, sophisticated rhetorical fluency, through the articulation of the various concepts we have discussed this semester. This includes establishing context for your issue, presenting a specific claim, arguing on behalf of it through the use of properly researched critical sources as well as solid reasoning, explaining opposing views in order to demonstrate command of the issue and build common ground, structuring the body of your paper in such a way that maximizes clarity, and offering a thoughtful conclusion.
This assignment has the following formal requirements:
7-8 pages long, typed, double-spaced, in proper MLA format
Third or second person perspective (no first person i.e. “I,” “me,” “my,” etc.)
An introduction that provides context for your issue/controversy
A specific claim of policy that attempts to persuade an audience
An organized body of support that argues on behalf of your claim
3 or more reasons and pieces of evidence to support your claim
3 or more refuting points and pieces of evidence to explain how the opposition falls short
6 or more academic sources are used and properly cited (quotations and paraphrases) in order to help develop your claim (at least 3 of which must be scholarly, meaning peer-reviewed or an academic journal).
A conclusion that summarizes and extends your claim
A properly formatted Works Cited page
A similarity report of 20% or less on Turnitin.com, with zero plagiarism.
Academic writing does not allow a whole lot of freedom for creativity. It is formulaic and very structured. Your essay should be at least 8 paragraphs in length (intro, 6 body paragraphs, conclusion). Please organize your essay according to the following outline (feel free to introduce the reasoning/refutation in a different order if that is your preference):
Introduction (.5-1 page)
Include a hook
Provide context for your issue/controversy
Claim of policy/thesis statement: Last sentence of intro and briefly explains your 3 main points i.e. “Sex work should be legalized at the federal level because it would provide a safer environment for all parties, allow governments to regulate and profit from it, and halt the criminalization of personal choices and freedoms.”
