Unit 4 DB: Expressing the Pro and Con of an Issue

Unit 4 DB: Expressing the Pro and Con of an Issue

To give you some perspective on writing pro/con assignments, we will write about the pro and con of using a product.

Initial Post

You should select a fun product that is interesting to you. You can write one paragraph about the “pro” of using the product and one paragraph about the “con” of the product. You can pick your own product, but here are some suggestions:

· Non-water-proof mascara

· An SUV

· Organic food

· Scented candles

· Black flavored licorice

Finding Evidence

How do you find evidence for the papers you are writing? You need to create topics to prove your thesis statement. You prove those topics by finding reliable evidence, which will come from Library resources as opposed to a Google search. Your research can then help provide a strong foundation for your ideas and arguments. You will want to keep track of that evidence through a references page.

Evaluating Sources

When evaluating sources, consider who wrote them, where they were published, when they were published, and how they have been reviewed for accuracy. As you work through evaluating sources for the coming assignments, you can summarize the main points and use them in your writing. This interactive resource will show you how to summarize the main points.
