Argumentation Essay Write a 750-1000 word argumentation/persuasion essay using any approach as a method of development. You MUST cite a minimum of two references/sources. Research is REQUIRED for this essay. An effective argumentative essay must have evidence to make its case; most arguments that occur in daily life happen in the heat of the moment and are more likely directed toward saving one’s own pride than toward giving clear and supportive proof to one’s claims. Writing Approach Knowing how to brainstorm is going to save you from writing a weak essay. Also, knowing how to support your claims with evidence from outside sources will further strengthen your essay. For that reason, this assignment requires the use of two references/sources. In addition, you will add a Works Cited page at the end of your essay. Finally, your Works Cited page will be in MLA (Modern Language Association) format so that all information provided will be easy for your reader to find. Before attempting this essay: Review all of the chapter sections located in Lessons 6 and 7. Review the available documents and sources located at the Helpful Resources folder on the course menu. Writing Assignment Purpose: to persuade Method of Development: your choice Choose your own topic, but make sure that it is something that can actually be argued. You cannot argue something that is a fact. You can argue for or against something. Some examples are: Should teenagers be able to play violent video games? Should cellphones be allowed in the classroom? Is social media destroying the way we communicate? The above items can be argued but there are many others to choose from. The choice is yours.
