ARGUMENT: Social media does/does not foster closer social relationships, making interpersonal communication easier/more difficult.

STANCE: Social media does not foster closer social relationships.

For this assignment, you will continue to pre-write and plan for your argument research essay by applying pre-writing to your thesis from Week1 (revised as necessary according to instructor feedback and your own further thought). You will also construct a first draft of your full introduction paragraph, modeling what you have learned from your Week 2 lesson. Finally, you will provide a list of at least four scholarly sources in APA Style that represent an equal number of sources that support your stance and sources that oppose your stance. See the APA section in the Chamberlain Writing Center for correct referencing of scholarly sources.
