Essay

2) Topic: Do violent video games cause behavior problems?

3) Then, you need to research that topic in order to specify the topic’s scope, so it can be easily discussed in a shorter, 1000 word essay.

4) This essay must include a minimum of five sources. Three should peer-reviewed. You may use eBooks; however, as discussed earlier this semester, books generally are not as current as peer-reviewed articles.

You may also use primary sources (interviews, statistics, etc); however, these primary sources should be obtained from experts within that field. If you cannot find strong sources for your chosen topic, then change your topic.

5) Make sure to include the following sections in your essay: introduction and claim, background, body, and conclusion.

Within the body of your Rogerian essay, make sure to include the following in any order: the background for your chosen topic, the opposition, the strengths and weaknesses of your opponents claim, scholarly research, your claim, discuss the warrants for your claim and the opposition in order to find the common ground, and show the common ground between your opponents claim and your claim.

Please make sure your essay is written in third person.
