Directions:
Compose a 1,100-1,500 word Rogerian Argument Paper using a minimum of four credible, academic sources. The directions for this assignment are similar to Activity 9.4.5 E in your text (I recommend referencing this to help you get started). Select one of the below options:
Your Paper 1 (Exploratory Paper): write a response to the position you discovered that is most unlike the position you favor.
An opinion piece (ONLY from the opinion section) from one of the three below websites (please attach a PDF or active link with your submission that you strongly disagree with):
The Washington Post Opinion Section (Links to an external site.)
The New York Times Opinion Section (Links to an external site.)
Fox News Opinion Section (Links to an external site.)
A post from someone you know on social media (please provide a screenshot) that you strongly disagree with.
Details:
Read the text (and examples) and listen to this unit’s podcast! These will be instrumental in writing a successful paper this week!
Be sure to make it clear which source you are responding to.
Compose your paper in third person POV. Avoid overuse of first person (minimize use of “I” statements, though some may be necessary in a paper like this).
Give your paper an original and engaging title.
Utilize the Library Article Database for sourcing (remember, there is a four source minimum).
Include an MLA Works Cited page to reference your sources. NOTE: This Works Cited page does not count toward the word requirement and should be on a separate page.
Check to make sure your paper is in proper MLA format and that you meet the word requirement.
