As a follow up to your last DQ and selected reading, create your own claim in support or opposition of the writer’s argument. In a 1000-word, develop an argument in which you support your point-of-view using varied forms of evidence. 

Build:  

• Create a clear claim and conduct preliminary research, critically examining sources 
  • Although at this stage you may not yet have all the answers to the posed problem, try to explore possible solutions 
  • Use at least two viable external sources 
• Paraphrase, quote, and summarize as needed to avoid plagiarism
  
  •  But maintain ownership by selectively and briefly embedding others’ views 
• Examine possible objections to your point of view; consider acknowledging strong points made by the opposition in at least one paragraph.
  • You cannot ‘see’ your opposition, so research opposing views
