Op-Ed (Please read after page 5 in the op-handout for more info, is very useful)

· Lede for op-ed: Universities must invest more in medical and counseling staff.

· Newspeg: New research confirms that talk therapy provides real results

· http://www.anxietycentre.com/anxiety/research/cbt-changes-the-brain.shtml

· Fact: near the lede Anxiety is right now the leading mental health issue in college students, surpassing depression.

· anxiety had surpassed depression as the leading mental health issue facing college students http://www.bu.edu/today/2016/college-students-anxiety-and-depression/

· Arguments: different points arguing for my solutions – if I am arguing that universities should invest more money then one of my points could be they don’t spend very much money or even if they do spend money is not enough for the number of students they need to serve and then support it with evidence (explain it like for a person that don’t agree with my topic, how can I explain it systematically, why I need to have them a solution to have different points of view for that people

· Everything needs to be directly connected and related.

· Counterargument related to prior paragraphs one example of counterargument could be is the extreme lack of resources.

· Examples values to appeal for last paragraph(end): we as a community need to value the mental health of the young people in our community or universities should do the best or we want to everyone has a chance or we want universities to show that they value people…..

· No need of reference or works cited page at the end…. More useful is having the bubble annotations, are mandatory. In there the professor will look from where in the text the sources came in place or the influence. Annotations should NOT be copy/pasted completely, not a complete sentence from the source, for example try to paraphrase and then add something from the source.

· For example of structure: this what I am ultimately arguing for(lede & newspeg), here is some background (2 paragraphs with arguments) of the problem, this is why is important (giving my topic presence, giving some foundation for why my solution is in), explain or support your solutions a little bit more at the end.

· Remember: structure should look (if you keep having questions please look a sample)

· lede and newspeg (add statistics in first paragraph to give more support),

· point 1 with evidence,

· point 2 with evidence,

· counterargument,

· end appeal to highest values.

· Don’t forget about annotations!!!
