I’m studying and need help with a Writing question to help me learn.

Write a 1600–1800-word argument essay that incorporates secondary sources to support your claim about an assigned topic.

Topic

Choose one of the following:

– Persuade your audience that the use of alternative energy is beneficial and economical, or that the use of alternative energy is expensive and as detrimental as traditional energy sources.

– Persuade your audience that social media provides a valuable outlet for free expression, or that social media allows users to insult, bully, and threaten others without any fear of punishment.

Purpose

The purpose is twofold:

– Persuade the reader to agree with the writer’s position (primary purpose).

– Express the writer’s feelings about the reader taking action on the topic (secondary purpose).

Audience

Your audience is made up of your fellow Penn Foster classmates. Many will agree with you, while others will disagree. You must take a position, present evidence to support it, and try to convince your audience through the strength of your argument to agree with you and to take action.
