Argumentative Essay Assignment (Academic Argument)
This Argumentative essay is a personal response and can include your own personal opinions, reactions, examples, and observations. You may use personal pronouns in your essay (for example, "I"), but do not rely heavily on them (avoid 'I think that' or 'I believe that' etc.). Remember to avoid using unclear pronouns (e.g. you, we, our). Clarify your meaning and be specific. For this essay, I provided three sources for you to use as supporting evidence. You must choose ONE source to include in your essay. A minimum of three citations (either direct quotes or paraphrases) is required. You must carefully construct your essay with a strong structure - it is very easy to get off track with a response paper! Remember to include all the main components of a strong essay (thesis statement, topic sentences, supporting evidence, and conclusion) by using an essay outline to help you plan your response.
