Opposite Editorial (Op-Ed): This assignment asks you to respond to a public issue in the form of an Opposite Editorial. Unlike an editorial, which represents the collective views of a newspaper’s staff, an Op-Ed represents the views of the writer alone. Engaged citizens write Op-Eds to give their viewpoints public expression. You will have the option of writing your Op-Ed in response to issues we have discussed and texts we read in class, or texts and issues you find on your own. The Op-Ed Unit will give you practice finding, evaluating, and synthesizing secondary sources and integrating these sources into your own writing.
