Follow the directions below:
1. Click on the links below and select an article to read.
2. Take your time to pick an article to make sure that your interest is sparked.
3. Answer the following prompt:
To what extent do you agree or disagree with the issue presented in this article? Make sure to provide a clear thesis. Make sure to also support your thesis with evidence (e.g., personal experiences, common knowledge, research, textual evidence, etc.). Lastly, practice using rhetorical strategies such as logical appeals, ethical appeals, and pathos.
NOTE: I am not so much interested in you writing a formal essay as I am in you learning to develop a thesis and supporting it with evidence using rhetorical strategies. Therefore, practice developing your writing skills...how much to write is irrelevant...what and how you write is more important!
