Devise an Effective Argument

[For this assignment you are allowed to choose either a formal APA document format or a letter format. This template applies only to the formal APA document option. However, if you choose a letter format, it would be best to include many of the elements found in this template, especially those related to providing support for your key claims.

Immediately under the title above, offer a brief one or two sentence introduction. Immediately following the introduction present a purpose statement for the assignment. For example, for this assignment your purpose statement could read as follows. The purpose of this assignment is to develop a proposal to convince my audience that the educational problem I have identified is important and worthy of further investigation.]

The Educational Problem I Want to Examine

[Offer a brief one to three sentence description of the educational problem you have identified previously in the course.]

The Audience I wish to Convince

[Offer a brief one to three sentence description of the audience your proposal is addressed to. It could be your principal, the entire administrative team of the school you work in, the superintendent and related administrators of a school system, a parent/teachers meeting and so on. The audience should be a logical choice in light of the problem you are discussing.]

Why this Problem is Significant and Needs Further Examination

[As mentioned in the syllabus instructions, you are not to propose how to solve the problem. Instead, you are to offer a logical and carefully supported argument that the problem is significant and that permission and resources including personnel, finances, release time and so on should be made available for its further examination.]
