Starter:
On the whiteboards, craft your THESIS FOR PART #3
Part 3 – Look carefully at the con side. (750 Words Min., Third Person, 3 Sources Min.)
- Thesis Generator: Overall, where is the con side coming from? What is driving this side of the argument?
- In this section, be sure to present the best arguments for the con side, and analyze those arguments using some criteria, framework, or classification system. For example, you might look at the ideological and factual arguments separately; or, you might focus your analysis on the quality or character of the sources; or you might demonstrate how each part of the argument boils down to some foundational American ideal.
- Min. Requirements: Proper in-text citation and use of quotes, use of 3rd person argumentative style of writing, works cited page, at least one reference to an ideological stance or American value you see connected to the arguments on this side.
Self-critique and revise it based on the criteria:
Good claims…
- are debatable
- are specific and focused
- avoid stating the obvious
- are clearly and eloquently stated
- avoid the first person (AVOID “I think, I believe, My opinion is, etc.”)
- can be supported with sufficient evidence
