Prompt: Choose a question, problem, or issue that genuinely perplexes you. At the beginning of your essay, explain why you are interested in this problem, why you think it’s significant, and why you have been unable to reach a satisfactory answer. Then write a first person, chronologically organized narrative account of your thinking process as you investigate your question through research, talking with others, and doing your own reflective thinking. Your goal is to examine your question, problem, or issue from a variety of perspectives, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of different positions and points of view. Your goal is not to answer your question, but to report on the process of wrestling with it.
Notes:
Intro: show why you’re interested in it, present relevant background for you, then begin with a question.
P2: include title, author, going to introduce the first source and tell you why I started with this source. Provide rhetorical context,include what, where and when, whether is a right or a left article, what was the aim for writing the article and information about the source, then summarize the source. Then have a strong response. Frequently including with and against. (why is it good, what is it not good), then talk about what the source created for your understanding (after reading this source, this is where i am now) what else do you want to consider.
P3: do something in the middle value. Do the same thing as p2. Say what is the prospective now after reading the second article.
P4 ^^^ why you chose an article, rhetorical context, summarize, strong response, perspective, where you’re going now.
P5^^^ perspective on p5 will most likely be the thesis in your conclusion
Conclusion: se where you land
