Third Major Paper Assignment: Taking a Position on an Environmental Issue

Paper Description: After exploring multiple positions on an environmental issue pertaining to a site (e.g., the Galveston beaches) or a region (e.g., the Gulf Coast), take an ethical position on the issue. That is, take a position that considers the implications of an action within a broader social context. The position that you take should not be the only position possible, but it should be a position that you can defend as ethically sounder than its alternatives.

Support your position with a relevant image, chart, or graph that you create or cite correctly, as well as with four or more print sources. At least three of your four print sources must come from research that you have done using M.D. Anderson’s databases and/or catalog (secondary research). Up to one print source may come from Chapter 19, “The Environment: How Do We Sustain It?” in Read, Reason, Write.

Most directly, this paper assignment builds on what you learned in Chapter 9, “The Position Paper: Claims of Values,” and Chapter 13, “Writing the Researched Essay,” in Read, Reason, Write. You may need to review these chapters as you research and decide on a topic. Also, and as needed, use the written and verbal feedback that you receive during your scheduled peer reviews (the peer review of your initial idea as well as the peer review of your full rough draft).

Audience: Your readers for this research-supported argument are undergraduate UH students who are nearing graduation. They are employed now or will obtain full-time employment soon, a large portion of them in the Houston metropolitan area. So consider what these readers are likely to know about the issue and area that you pick, how to connect with these readers given where they are in their lives, what tone to take, and what formatting decisions to make.

Context: This paper requires as much nuance as you have shown before. Again, it requires some citing of outside sources, yet this time you are evaluating sources found using the UH library’s catalog and databases. Also, now, rather than write about a specific topic that I give you (as in your first major paper assignment when you had to define higher education) and rather than follow paper organization steps that I explained (as in your second major paper assignment), you get to construct your final draft based on all that you have learned throughout English 1304.
