MGA Argument Proposal

MGA Argument Proposal

After you choose a topic, send me the answer to the following questions. Just number your responses in an email--no need to write the questions. (Send to: [email protected]) PLEASE NOTE: My turnaround on these emails is 72 hours—not 24 hours like most emails. As such, don’t email at the last minute! Also note, the proposal includes new questions about genres for the MGA.
1. What is the question to which your argument will provide an answer?
2. What is your paper title?
3. What is your paper's central argument? (Stated differently: what is its central claim or argumentative thesis?)
4. What genre will begin your paper? What genre will end your paper? (Please look at the prompt and example paper if you don't understand this requirement.)
5. Argumentative Points (or premises) support the truth of your argumentative thesis. This is where your research comes into play; each argumentative point will need evidence of some kind to act as support. Also, each point will need different evidence to support its claim. Please list your three (or four) argumentative points, numbering them 5A, 5B, 5C, etc.
6. If you create an argument, other people should be able to contest or disagree with your claim. What would their argument be? (This is called the antithesis of your argument.)
7. What are the larger ramifications or implications of your argument? If you were to write ten more pages about the topic, what would need to be addressed? Also, after reading your paper, how will readers be better equipped to live in the world?
