W2 Assignment "Narrowing Topics"
English Composition II
Narrowing TopicsYour ultimate goal for this class is to write a researched argument paper (also known as an argumentative paper). Â Each weekly assignment and discussion forum is designed to help you achieve this goal. Â Your rough draft will be due in week 6, and the final draft will be due in week 8.What is an argumentative paper? Â This week, your readings included an excerpt from the Purdue University Online Writing Lab (OWL). Here is their explanation of an argumentative paper:"An argumentative paper makes a claim about a topic and justifies this claim with specific evidence. The claim could be an opinion, a policy proposal, an evaluation, a cause-and-effect statement, or an interpretation. The goal of the argumentative paper is to convince the audience that the claim is true based on the evidence provided." (Tardiff & Brizzee, 2014)Reference CitationTardiff, E. & Brizzee, A. (2014). Tips and examples for writing thesis statements.
