In your op-ed, you will argue either "yes" or "no" to this question. Once you decide on which side you want to argue, you will need to develop an argumentative thesis.
Remember that your argumentative thesis = claim + why or how.
1. What is your argumentative thesis?
2. What are 3 supporting reasons for your thesis?
3. What is the strongest opposing argument against your thesis?
4. What is your rebuttal to the opposing argument you typed above?
5. What is ONE piece of evidence/example that appeals to the reader's need for "logos" and could also persuade the reader that one of your supporting reasons is valid? This kind of information is usually a statistic or a persuasive fact. (Please include the supporting argument that this information reinforces.)
6. What is ONE piece of information that would appeal to the reader's sense of "pathos" that you could use to persuade them that one of your reasons is valid?
7. What is ONE piece of information that appeals to the reader's need to hear credible experts or firsthand experiences ("ethos") to persuade your reader that one of your reasons is valid? A quotation of an expert or an anecdote about someone that the reader believes is a credible source can appeal to the reader's "gut instincts."
