Writing Assignment
Your writing assignment is to write an argument on a topic that matters a lot to
you, including good reasons for your thesis. This should be a persuasive essay that
includes an argument. State your thesis and give good reasons in support of your
thesis. As part of your argument, anticipate objections from another side and
present a counter-argument for what they might say.
The paper should contain five full pages of writing, double-spaced. You should
indent your paragraphs and the spacing between paragraphs should be the same
as between the other lines in the paper. To make sure that your paper is five full
pages, you should plan to have your last paragraph bleed over into a sixth page.
Give me hard copies only on the final exam day.
If you are basing any part of your argument on the work of someone else, and it
should, be sure to cite your sources on a Works Cited page, and appropriately
referenced in your paper. (The Works Cited page does not count as one of the five
full pages that I’m asking for.) You should have at least two references cited for an
A or B paper.
Use the MLA style guide provided here. Note that you should use Times New
Roman 12-point font. Margins should be 1-inch on all sides. And, as in the guide, it
should have your last name and page number on the upper right of each page.
Look at the style guide.
