An argument essay is a piece of writing where students argue for/against a particular opinion and, as well, propose solutions to a well-defined problem (or problems) within the topic. The writer is expected to use reasons and evidence to support their positions. Writing an argumentative essay helps students improve their writing, develop their critical-thinking skills, and also learn how to perform research. To read more, see Arguing a Position in your textbook.

For the third assignment you will be arguing a position, supporting your claim with evidence from secondary sources, and proposing the best solution to the problem you have identified.

You would choose a research topic that is debatable, plausible, and consequential. Here are some examples below:

These are just examples to give you a sense of the kinds of topics I am looking for. You do not have to write on any of these

2) Should colleges use other criteria, besides standardized tests, for the admission of students?
3) Should corporal punishment be allowed in schools?
4) Does technology and social media/networking hinder real face-to-face social interactions?
5) Is on-line education of the same quality as face-to-face education
6) Are e-books better than print books?
7) Is graffiti art or vandalism?

Remember that you are taking a side in the debate and using evidence to support your claim(s).

You should use information from at least FIVE secondary sources to support your points; at least TWO of these secondary sources should be peer-reviewed journals.
