Arguing for the side you support!

You've worked hard on crafting arguments for both sides of the issue, now it is time to choose the side you agree with and build your best argument for it!

Your Task:

 You will be writing a short paper (5 paragraphs) that does the following:

• -       Presents a clear, arguable claim. This is your thesis statement!
• -       Supports that claim with specific, well-selected evidence.
• -       Uses sound reasoning to explain how and why this evidence supports your claims.
• -       Utilizes counterclaims and classical rhetorical appeals (ethos, pathos, and logos) to strengthen your arguments.

As soon as you start working, you should share your Google Document with dthompson@herohigh.net.  I will be checking in on your progress as you work!
