Prompt: Pick an issue affecting your future career field, your major field, or your community. Write a paper of at least 3-4 pages that explains various perspectives on this issue, addressing at least three different sources (published texts, interviews, etc.) and no more than five sources. Rather than presenting the issue as having two sides (those for or against something), explain more than two points of view, showing the complexity of the issue. At some point in the paper, take your own stand, but the majority of the paper should explain the larger conversation surrounding the issue. Requirements: 1) A thesis that explains more than two sides to the issue you decide to discuss. 2) An introduction that provides brief background information on the issue, a brief description of its historical context, describes the purpose of the essay, and smoothly transitions into the thesis. 3) Body paragraphs that begin with topic sentences that articulate a clear claim about one specific aspect of the article and are supported throughout the rest of the paragraph. 4) Sub-points within body paragraphs that provide reasons supporting the claim in the topic sentence. 5) Support from the essay(s) that clearly illustrate(s) your claims. 6) Analysis that thoroughly explains how the support proves your claims. 7) Closing sentences that end body paragraphs by reflecting on their significance. 8) Transitions among and within paragraphs that illustrate connections between your points. 9) A conclusion that reflects on the significance of the overall essay. 10) Proper MLA format.
