Paper 3 is a bit different that the other papers we will write in this course. For paper 3, go to the Billington Library databases and find the resources you need to write Paper 4 (see below). That means you need four database sources that are longer than 700 words and support the argument you plan to make in Paper 4. After you have read your sources, write the MLA citation for each source and follow it with a five to seven sentence summary of what the source is about. Your final product should include all four database sources and our textbook. Due dates are on the syllabus. This paper is worth 100 points.

Paper 4: Argument Essay

            In The Norton Field Guide pages 809-830 you will read four different argument essays, and on pages 998-1006 you will read two different mixed genre essays that include ideas that could be framed as arguments. In addition, you are scheduled to read report essays on pages 792-806. While these essays are not examples of arguments, you could find elements from them about which you could choose a side. When you write paper four, choose one of these positions, and write an argument either for or against it. Support your argument with at least four sources from the Billington Library databases (https://library.jccc.edu/) and the essay from our textbook.

            When I grade this essay, I will check to see that it is in MLA format and includes a works cited page with at least five appropriate sources on it. This paper should be between 4-6 pages long. It should contain an attention getting hook, a clear claim (position statement), an accurate summary of original essay’s position on the same issue, at least three reasons to support your claim, and specific evidence to support each of the reasons. This paper should be written in a reasonable tone, so that if your audience does not already agree with you they will at least be willing to listen to what you have to say. Also, you should avoid logical fallacies. See The Norton Field Guide Chapter 37 (414-430) for additional information on writing arguments.
