Composition II (ENG 1302) Argumentative Essay Two of Two Major Essay II (Argumentative Essay II):
Brainstorming/Pre-writing, Peer-editing, and Rough Draft: Please begin the journey toward the completion of the second argumentative essay. It is suggested that the student submit each phase of the essay earlier enough in order to receive the guidance and support needed to earn a grade that is reflective of the effort and ability invested.
Engage the instructor in a conference during these stages: brainstorming/outline, peer-edited copy, and the student's own rough draft with evidence of revision and editing.
Essay Requirements: Select any fresh issue/topic for this argumentative essay, one that has not been discussed or argued in any essay this semester. For example, if a student argued about health, death, disease, immigration, election, etc., the student cannot argue on any of these topics no matter how removed he/she perceives this new topic to be from the last essay.
Select any other appropriate topic of your choice that mirrors your personal conviction, one that is narrow, debatable/arguable, and is supported with evidence. The student MUST choose a side, provide several reasons in support or against the issue, and provide one reason to counter-argue the chosen side.
The student is encouraged to engage in vigorous research since he/she is required to provide a works cited page with a minimum of three sources.
In addition, the student MUST include one fallacy or more featured in the personal narrative, "Love Is a Fallacy."
This composition is not an analytical essay of another person's work nor is it the group project paper. This assignment is the second and the last of two out-of-class essays.
To write an argument essay, the student will need to gather evidence and present a well-reasoned argument on a debatable issue.
How can a student tell if his/her topic is debatable? Check the position statement! One does not argue a statement of fact. All essays must be based on a strong OPINION (A.K.A. position) and must be supported with factual evidence.
