“Although you are writing as an advocate, this is still an academic argument, not an opinion piece.”
Required elements:
Rigorous expert research beyond the Topic Introduction (with additional sources and 5 updated annotations) Aim for at least 10 sources cited overall
A clear introduction to your problem A critical presentation of the proposal(s) that you advocate (acknowledging and addressing potential flaws objections, counterarguments):
At least 1 piece of relevant multimodal evidence (graph, map. tree photograph diagram/chart, video, audio, etc.)
MLA formatting for paper layout and works cited section
12-point Times New Roman or Arial Font, double-spaced, 1″ margins, last name and page number in upper right-hand corner of each page 1800+ words of body text, (not counting heading, works cited, or annotations).
You cannot switch topics (you must write on the same topic that you chose at the beginning of the course)
You must argue for a new policy (or at least one that has not yet been implemented in the place you are discussing) So you could argue that Nevada should adopt Oregon’s night-to-die laws, but not that Nevada should legalize gambling
You may re-use material from the Topic Introduction, but you MUST edit (do not just copy/paste).
Do not try to invent your own solutions Your task here is to research different expert proposals, evaluate them, then make a case for one or more of them.
