Argument Essay
There are lots of topics raised throughout the chapter, but they all relate to work in American culture. A few that you would be able to use would be job anxiety, career preparation, scheduling, or vocational training for trade positions. Once you choose a topic, you have to start thinking about the claim that your paper will make. Your paper will need to make a claim of policy about the topic. A claim of policy argues that a particular group should take a particular course of action and usually contains the word “should” or “must” or the phrase “have to.” We will talk in class over the next week about claims and about organization of an argument essay.The next step for you will be to research your topic, looking at reliable sources to learn more about it. Your essay will need to integrate at least four sources, and at least two of them need to be sources that you located through reference databases. We will be talking in class about how to access the reference databases that are available through the MassBay college library page. We will also work on figuring out how to tell that you have a reliable source.This paper will have to support its claim via a variety of pieces of evidence, and also emotional appeals to readers. Remember that you’ll also have to acknowledge and refute potential counterarguments in the paper to make the paper stronger. You should choose a topic that you care about (one relating to the larger topic of work), but you should also avoid picking a topic that would be emotionally painful to read and write about. We will be talking about how to make a strong argument in class. I will be posting a rubric just after this handout to give you further information about how I will be grading the project.You’ll have to use MLA format on this paper once again for in-text citations and a Works Cited listing at the end of the paper. Remember that you need to cite all material from a source other than common knowledge.This paper requires a significant amount of time to research your topic. You have to turn in your first draft of your paper on or before 12/2/2021 at 11:59 PM through email or through the dropbox. I will read the paper and give you feedback soon after that. The final draft of the paper is due on or before 12/9/2021 at 11:59 PM through email or through the dropbox. This project is worth 15% of your overall course grade. Once again, I would encourage you to consider making an online appointment with the Reading and Writing Center for help while you are brainstorming, writing, and/or revising the paper. Lateness penalties will apply on this project, just as with all other assignments in this course. One-day lateness of either draft will incur a 10% grade penalty. Both drafts are necessary components of the assignment, and you will not be able to turn in only a first draft and claim it as your final draft. Similarly, you won’t be able to turn in only a final draft and claim that it is your first draft. If either draft is more than one day late, you will receive a zero for the entire assignment (a project that is spanning two drafts). If you have any questions about this project while you are working on it, please feel free to speak to me in our class meeting that we have regularly, at office hours, or via email.[supanova_question]
