Problem
Develop appropriate argumentative strategies and rhetorical appeals in essays; Achieve proficiency in the tools of research, including print documents, scholarly databases, general databases, and informal Internet sources.
Prompt
Compose a 3-4 page paper addressing two articles discussing your topic, one on each side of a debate or argument surrounding your topic. The response paper is not an unstructured discussion of your feelings, but an organized mini-argument that builds your position in relation to the two sources that you read for this assignment. Like any good argument, it needs to be tightly organized and you need to explain your position by using clear examples from the readings.
