Argument

Essay #4

Min. 2000 words

Summer 2020

For the fourth essay, you are to argue a position on a controversial issue (excluding abortion and capital punishment). This argument requires research, at least 6 sources (one of which may be an interview with someone who works or studies primarily in that field and/or a survey of at least 100 people and one of which must be a book), and depth, at least 1600 words. In order to argue your position effectively, vary your types of evidence, use reliable research to support your claims, address the opposition, and apply sound logic. Be sure to include a strong, clear thesis that defines your position and stay focused on your purpose and audience. Develop your points thoroughly and structure your argument clearly.

Follow MLA documentation faithfully and use the correct format. Revise carefully, proofreading closely for mechanical errors.
