Select a topic which interests you from the following list:

The topic you choose must differ from the one you chose for Essay 1. This essay should be structured as an argumentative essay, as discussed in class, with a paragraph that poses the counterclaim and your rebuttal. Each paragraph should cite one to two lines of evidence (quoted or paraphrased) which must be cited. Your evidence should only consist of academic sources, sources from reliable websites, and cannot contain personal experience.

If you would like to write on another topic related to the class theme, it must be approved by me.
