2. Develop your position statement and brainstorm your argument—Week 5
3. Select sources to support your argument and understand the divergent or opposing views --Week 6
4. Outline your argument—Week 7
5. Understand the audience for your argument—Week 8
6. Produce the final version --Week 9

You will upload your argument as a video. See the Week 9 Lecture to see how to do that.
