Exercises 3

Exercise #3: Argumentative Proposal (Planning Document)

How do you plan to construct your own argument ? Since your audience will be an academic one, your planning document should follow an accepted academic structure for presenting your claims and your evidence .

► Your proposal should address the following questions in paragraph form, so that your instructor and a peer reviewer will understand how you plan to argue your ideas in Essay 3:

· What are the important claims in this ongoing conversation about media violence?

· What are some of the opposing claims in this ongoing conversation about media violence?

· What do you think is questionable or problematic with some of these claims ?

· What is your claim in this conversation?

· What might the scholars say about your claim ? (Use the ideas you gained from your research so far)

· What specific example of media violence will you use to support your claims? How will this example further your overall argument?

· What is your “working thesis”? What must you discuss in this essay in order to argue the position you are taking in the thesis?

Manuscript Notes: Your planning document should be detailed and not simply a list of points; two-three double-spaced pages should suffice . When you quote, use MLA documentation ; remember to include a “Works Cited” page.
