To complete this Written Response Assessment, you will submit a full rough draft for an argumentative essay that presents your opinion or proposal – Here, you should present the topic (problem/ controversy) and your stance.
The introduction is where you introduce the topic at hand, provide necessary background information, and end with your thesis statement. Since this essay is fairly short, your introduction should be no more than one paragraph in length. Please revise. This is your chance to find a creative way to introduce this topic and draw in your reader’s interest. Perhaps you can create an intriguing character in a very short story, one that explains how this ban affects us all. Remember, your reader will be very well-versed in your topic. They simply have a different stance on your thesis.
The supporting arguments for your proposal (Three paragraph minimum)- Use the resources you researched to prove your point and debate counter arguments.
Make sure you present opposing views to your argument: Arguments supporting the thesis statement acknowledge opposing positions and provide arguments and research specifically to address these opposing positions.Support those arguments with information from scholarly sources.
You need to include and cite outside evidence to support your point of view. I would suggest three to five different resources, such as statistics, quotes, or projects.
And a concluding paragraph that summarizes your argument and calls your audience to action.
You should have five paragraphs minimum.
